Hey! Old Guys... And Gals!
I haven't been here too long, I am coming up on a year though. But a lot of you have been here longer than that. So I'm curious because I've heard a lot of you talk about cool stuff I didn't get to see, and when you talk about it I'm kind of just like :roll: "wtf are you guys talking about?" So I ask to you...Random Old CoTHers and even new guys that I don't Rp with.
Any cool stories or events you'd like to share that were awesome to you or just want to talk about because you'll always remember them? Things I'd like someone to talk about would be like...Hmm I dunno, when Stormwind was attacked by zombies and was on fire... Or something like that. Because... Uhh.. That needs to happen again. :twisted: [Censored] Stormwind. But I'll see you guys there when Raph comes back :wink:
SO yeah. Share old people! Any Fail stories would also be comedy. I remember when I first rolled a Jidaeo he went to booty bay ( he was a warlock ) and somebody was like * head nod * join my guild. So jid's all "[Surfer voice] Chyaa.. Sure" /Hair flick. "check out what I can do.." * Summons imp *
The following message was:
[1. General] lol uh yeah....And then all the guards run up and kill you....
lmao. Comedy.
So any others?
Don't have a specific one I can whip up right now, but this is a great idea. Informative and funny. Looking forward to reading some of these.
Oh-ho... this should be amusing. I've got a couple in my head.
I remember when I first came to CotH, I was at the very best, like a retail noob. I knew barely ANY lore, and I used to do some... completely stupid stuff that makes me facedesk when I remember it. Anyway, I remember when I had a Blood Elf (*queue audience gasp*) who had a friend, who had a bad run-in with Kaghuros' druid. So, of course... she runs.
What do I do?
Set down frost traps whilst running, without emotes. Just bam, bam, bam, and I kept trapping him. I think I scored some hate that day.
Alright, alright... Let's see... My first combat RP experience on CoTH waaas... Crossing the Thandol Span, cutting through Dark Irons alongside the Expedition, back in the day... It truely felt like we were doing something grandiose. 'Sides, Usuilaan got to cut things with a shiny sword, so, yeah...
On the other hand, I remember the very first(Seems I'm one for first times...) encounter Elil had with another person... Said person tried one-nighting her. Ended up a GHI item... That's where it all began. That, and he tried to poison her wolf... Back then, it was just a few days after the Sin'Sholai business had ended, I think, and Silvermoon was all ruiny and scaffoldy...
Sylvandre's first journey to Northrend was a fun thing to play... As were her other misadventures, like escorting people between various landmarks, killing criminals in horrifyingly brutal ways(Here I must say thanks, to the people that went with the RP. And apologies to those who bit the dust.)... Oh. There was this one time, when she and some of the Pride(most of it, in fact), went behind the Goldshire inn... And she got the idea of throwing rabbits. Aaand... you know how they show those food-fights in movies with children all throwing food at eachother. That's basically what happened... but with rabbits/other small critters. No animals were physically harmed, merely mentally disturbed.
Most of the other awesome things, like entering a barrow den to kill off a Dreadlord with a merry band of adventurers(I still wonder to this day who the priestess with a bow was...), Light/Dawn of Nova stuff, and the happy fun times ensuing thereof are what followed...
Haha Nice. I remember even before the Jid-fail-oh situation ( thanks cressy for the name :-\ ) and I was this troll, I think it was my very first interaction with -anyone- on the server.
I was in Stonetalon and I met another troll and a BE on a motorcycle.
The Troll leans in to Kaleeko I think it was and says "[Troll] Kill the elf"
I didn't understand we could speak different languages and I also didn't understand that the elf couldn't understand.
So I go. Kill who? What? in common of course.
"[Troll] Kill the elf! Kill him, just stab him.
What?..How..With what!? ( already broke character and the elf on the motorcycle now has to pretend he doesn't know whats going on )
Then I get a
[1. General] Speak in Troll
[1. General] Huh? How?!
lol.. It gets worse though.
[Troll] Use a knife... Attack him!
So then after figuring out how to emote.. theres a
Keeleko runs up to the elf and stabs him....
[1. General] Roll...
[1. General] Huh?!
lol It was /facedesk material. whoever those two players were thanks for the patience lmao
Back in the day, when I was a player who played a Lawltauren and an undead Bloodelf, and Harmonic wasn't SI:7, I used to ride on Barron Rivendale's steed on my human. I roleplaying with this n00b named Nostra, who proceeded to ask me... "What's wrong with your horse?"
This was OOC, mind you. This horse glowed green, and had these long sharp fangs.
I replied, "Vampirism."
Lets see. Another old one. Back when Rensin was part of a guild called "The Grey Militia", we were a group of rag-tag "dogooders" who were all a bunch of drunken fools.
Rensin had slain dragons, wrestled bears in the nude and won, all without being able to read or write.
And when he made guild posters (Which I did make in MS paint)... he used crayons.
Those were the days.
I had a NElf who was an outcast that wore black leather akin to a dominatrix, married a BElf and hung out with Hordies and Allies alike on a boat with my pet snake.
...Needless to say I am enthralled that those days are over, and I have matured passed the point of going "lol wuts lore can I poop on it?"
Luckily for me I was already somewhat of a good RPer when I came to CotH. HOWEVER. Before that I had RPed on retail for 4 years...and I can recall my very first character...a human rogue stereotypical bad ass named "Assasin"
After a solo attempt of taking over the "Laughing Jester" SW's bar in the park (full of godmodding, meta gaming and super natural non-wow powers) I was black listed by the entire RP community...then made a new character secretly...and got my redemption :P.
Lmao Just thought of one. One of my favorite moments, this one still makes me literally laugh out loud. Okay, after my first too previous fails I was getting the hang of it pretty nicely. I had emotes down, Rolling down and I could play a light weight believable character. It was time to leave the horde side. So I make a human. "Raphael" Well Raph was apart of this guild called "The People's Militia" ...
Now I'm not keen on too much wow lore, I reference the wiki pretty often. But I am -a lot- better than I was when Raph was in the People's militia, so I didn't know it was already a lore organization so I was all /thumbs up
bad #$% name lets roll
lol we were destined for failure
So our mission was to help redridge from some threat, orcs or something. And we're all posted there in our base. Aka The Inn lmao. So were having secret meetings in the room and kicking people out who weren't ranked high enough. And even though we were in an inn and had a stolen lore name the Rp was pretty good we had plans and good characters and everything. Then we started recruiting and it all fell apart. People from all over were wondering in, not making any sense. Draenei, druids, dwarf pirates and all sorts of characters were putting their lives on the line for friggin redridge.
So we were trying to figure out how to stop the Murloc population from doing something or keep their numbers at bay so we had to figure out how their anatomy worked. This lead to a full blown Murloc autopsy in the room of an inn.
. Not too mention all of the aforementioned characters coming in and out of this Inn our secret base to talk to a select few people who were holding a secret meeting in this room. We Icly paid for the room we occupied but the others, were just wondering around like we owned the place. Comical.
We had a new officer, I forget who the guy was but he had a hard ass attitude, and he and Raph didn't get along. Good RP between the two, they bumped heads but respected each other eventually. Because the "Leaders" of the guild were always plotting and barely leading nobody respected them which lead to problems. It was to the point so many new recruits popped up I OOCly and Raph ICly had no clue who was with the militia or who was a genuine patron. I remember Raph leaving a secret meeting and went up to some guy walking up the stairs like. "WTF do you want!? Wheres so and so, I'm sick of these [Censored] disrespectful @$% troops not respecting anyone.." and the guys response was. "I-I...I just want a room here...I'm don't know what you're talking about" guy was a patron. lmao.
So we were -trying- to get shiz together. So they had a roll call outside of the inn. Everyone lined up, but everyone had their smart #%@ two cents to say too. I never understood why they joined the guild but didn't respect anyone. Anyway it lead to the newest officer to come outside and try to instill order. He yelled at everyone and nobody cared. So he fired a gun off in the sky to get attention and promptly got arrested in front of everyone xD
The guards came in like... "Wtf are you guys doing at this inn?.." And everyone was like >.> <.< >.> "were a" * cough* "A...Militia to help the city." ... The guards were like. "That's....That's...what we do." :| One of the guards looked around like.. "Did someone slaughter a murloc here?" * cough * We got kicked out of the inn and disbanded. HAHAHAHA I guess you had to been there but the awkwardness when the guards confronted us was the funniest part besides the officer getting arrested. Because all the other officers were acting like big shiz until the guards came around and we were all just kind of... like " >.> <.< * scratches arm * Comedy.
Haha i think you're either refering to the dwarf...or my human mage, Daedrin. yes I remember this event fondly lol.

Hey, I miss that old guild of ours! Lexi and that Dwarf who fought with a flagon were comedy, all those innuendos he'd say and innocent Lexi had no idea what was going on, and the time she tried to hook Raph up with Afton had me gasping for air, I was laughing so hard. I -just- logged before the gunshot. I missed out on the lulz. QQ
Anyway, let's see... I remember:
- going to Elwynn on Hania ( Tauren Druid ), and learning all about roll combat the hard way, hehe. This was maybe on my third day.
- back during The People's Militia, Lexi fired a mortar and planted mines on the outskirts of Redridge.
- Lexi throwing a flagon at the goblin chick in the Ironforge pub closest to the gates, consequently banning her from the establishment.
- having Bianca, my pally, carry around a spell book in order to cast Light spells.
- speaking in Troll but still with the accent.
I can't think of any more at the moment. XD
Oh my god...
I was a pretty decent roleplayer before private servers, just because I did forum RP. I wasn't ever THAT great, or anythign like that, but I could get by. Then my mind got tainted by retail wow, and other servers. So by the time I got here... I was pretty much done for.
If any of you remember Narn from the commoner's party, that was me. I didn't understand anything about roll combat, or emote combat, coming from a PvP server, and I figured that if my character was over a hundred years old, he was going to damn well use his gun however he pleased. Also, he had a polar bear, and owl, expert tracking skills, and eventually it got so outrageous I had to blow off an arm and a leg so he stopped being OP.
It didn't really stop him (*cough me *cough*), and I proceeded to pretty much act like the king of everything, and just RP poorly in general...
Also, when I just started getting into WoW RP again, at the beginning of Wrath, I...
Well, I made a Nelf DK, named Slayer. He was blind, but since he was a frost DK, saw by the moisture in the air. I thought I was incredibly original, and 100% Bad #$%. He WAS quite the bad @#$, but rather ridiculous, really.
. . .
. . .
. . .
The first character I planned on making was going to be immortal. . . Luckily it never happened. . .
No bad RP lulzness in CotH for me. So...I first started RPing in AOL chatrooms. Yeah. My first character was a Final Fantasy 7 monstrosity. Sephiroth's sister, and had materia kinda...infused into her. And...I don't even know.
More stuff I forgot about. Classic stuff. This is more epic than it was comical. This was about one of my favorite moments in CoTH for me at least. A guild that had solid direction, day to day RP and intense character growth. It shaped most of my future chars and things like that. But Comical stuff first.
When I first rolled Jidaeo as a DK, I wanted him to be that guy in the shadow, and he was a renegade DK. Well he needed time to collect his thoughts, and figure out what was going on. But I was still fairly crappy at DK lore and RP not horrible just...stupid lol.
Balgarn ( Grak's bad ass Orc DK ) was in ratchet looking over the town.
Jidaeo walks up to him, saying something like. "So how does one join your organization?" ( referring to the ebon blade )
Balgarn grunts and turns around looking away. lol I got ignored do to such a ludicrous question lol.
Another comical yet shameful moment with Grak.
( after literally a month or so RPing with Grakor like almost everyday )
[1. General] whoa...Balgarn...You're a Co-admin?! o.o
[1. General] ....Yeah. You didn't know that?
[1. General] Had no clue.
[1. General] Lol
xD /facedesk. I thought he was just some good RPer.
But On some Cool CoTH moments, one of my favorite Guilds that I was talking about earlier was The Far Wolves, awesome Orc RP. Best Orc RP i've ever had. It was led by DuskWolf, helped really shape pretty much most of the RP I do now. The Light/Dawn of Nova was run was based of this guild. Though there are many differences, I just loved the feeling of a unit and character progression inside of the unit. Running on missions and things like that. It was just awesome. Also Balgarn one of the most bad ass DK's I've seen on this server, Inspired Jidaeo who is fails in comparison.
Here are two of the many tales of the Far Wolves. One was an IC story line where we ended our Saga in Stonetalon. The Far Wolves were camped up there for weeks fighting harpies for the Wyvern, and after we defeated the Queen Harpy we had made a pact with the Wyverns. So to be able to ride one we had to earn their respect.
Wyvern Pact
This next post was about an event we had up in northrend. We got Wyverns we went up North to Wintergrasp to liberate a tower from the scourge. That event was awesome. Once the horde had a tower, the Far wolves stationed up there and planned on raiding and taking over an Abomination factory. We ran the event under manned with roll fighting. We barely made it, Maku was seriously about to die. We fought a Vykrul DK. And my last roll I got something epic, and fired an arrow with a dramatic "Lok tar'ogar" And shot it right in the eye for the fatal blow... Friggin sweet.
Here's that story from the eyes of Maku
Far Wolves around the fire
