Welcome to my RP Realm Ratings. If you feel I am incorrect in anything I say about your server, please post something and let me know! My intent is not to insult anyone or any server, and experiences may vary on an individual basis, so I could easily be wrong about some things
Please note all these ratings are based off my experience as a new low level player ONLY. Unfortunately I do not have the money to transfer to every RP realm, and I doubt blizz would give me free transfers to test this.
Because I am basing this on low level experience, I am trying to rate my experience of that server based off general information that is true regardless of level. However, there are always limitations to being level 1, a lot of people don’t RP with level 1s and you can’t really get into good guilds at level 1.
On each server, I created a low level alliance and horde alt. I spent my time wandering around major cities, monitoring RP channels and guild recruitment channels, seeing how many people had RP add ons, how many people I personally saw with RP add ons and if I did see anyone, I attempted to interact with them, how many people were generally online in the known RP guilds of that server, how many people were around and RPing.
I tried to spend a couple days wandering around each realm at various times of the day to get a better idea on that server.
This is rated in order of (what I thought were) best to least. I will most likely be rerolling/transferring to Wyrmrest Accord, as it is my favored realm out of all listed.
RP Activity/Community Score
Star System
* = No RP – People are using Add Ons, heard of no RP guilds, saw nobody RPing
** = Lite RP – People are using RP Addons, has 1-2 active RP guilds online each time I checked, but did not see much RP in person or channels or in recruitment.
*** = Medium RP - People are using Add Ons, has 3 or more active RP guilds online each time I checked, people are in RP channels and actively talk in them, see a decent amount of RP guild recruitment
**** = High RP – People are using RP Add Ons, has 5 or more active RP guilds online each time I checked, people are in RP channels and actively talk in them, see a good amount of RP guild recruitment, see people RPing
***** = Excellent Amount of RP – People are using RP Addons, has several active RP guilds online each time I checked, people are in RP channels and actively talk in them, see a good amount of RP guild recruitment, see people RPing
+ = That based on my rating scale they received X amount of stars, but I have personally heard many good things even though I didn’t see them myself.
- = That based on my rating scale, they received X amount of stars, but the players there don’t seem to enjoy the server much.

General Atmosphere
Both sides of this server seem to have a great RP atmosphere, Horde’s seem slightly better. Both sides seem to have a helpful and accepting group of people. There are some real jerks here, but those are everywhere. The environment and good people you can find here make up for that.
Friendliness Factor:
Good, this server seems very accepting of RPers, and there are a lot of RPers to network with as well as a lot of RP guilds.

Channels:

Channels:
Don’t really know of any, not many were using flagrsp, or I was having issues with it..
General Atmosphere
On Alliance Cath Square
On Horde side, most RP here seems to take place in Silvermoon, I am guessing you have to know where to RP in the city here as I was warned to stay away from some of the main shady inns. Saw a lot of RPers walking around though, and also saw a moving marriage proposal.

Nothing going on in /RP saw nobody join or leave channel, I checked later and it appears some jerk set a password on it so I couldn’t access it to tell more. I asked what other RP channels there were but everyone ignored me
General Atmosphere:
Noticed very little to RP that I saw
Friendliness Factor:
poor

General Atmosphere:
Not really any RP, mostly just an overpopulated PVE server with a small and hard to find RP community, from what I can tell. Their realm forums have a bit of RP and RP info on them though, which is promising and you may be able to find an network with people through there, though some of the resources seem a bit stale and outdated.
Friendliness Factor:
poor
Horde: **
Known RP Guilds and activity:
Asked around and one person mentioned Thalasian Cartel which was active when I checked. I was told by an RPer that this is not the realm to transfer to if you are looking for RP.

(around 10 people in them)
Friendliness Factor:

ARMS
Guild Recruitment in game – didn’t really see any guild recruitment
Channels:
Channels seem run by guilds mainly, I heard there were some good ones but not told what they were.
Friendliness Factor:
Very Good
Very Good
Observations:
Seems like a pretty nice server with a decent amount of RPers and guilds based on its low population. The RPers all seemed very friendly, and I was told that it’s a little harder to find but the RP found here is quality RP, so it seems like this server is definitely Quality over Quantity. Seems like it would be easier to find RP at a higher level, and easier to find it on Alliance
Argent Dawn:
Pop: Medium
Generally has between 40-50 people using FlagRSP-
About half of those have descriptions in FlagRSP
Known RP Guilds:
None of the ones I checked from the RP guild list on their realm forums seemed active, someone told me Shadow Song was an RP guild that was rather active.
Guild Recruitment in game – mostly raiding guild recruitment, some leveling guild, and 1 RP guild recruitment for Coven of the Night which invited me when I asked them questions, but I didn’t join.
Channels:
Channels seem run by guilds mainly, I heard there were some good ones but not told what they were.
Friendliness Factor:
Okay, there seems to be a lot of RP griefers on this server. When I first walked into Stormwind there was a lot of “lol wut iz rp” going on, so I guess someone was discussing it before I arrived.
Horde: *
Known RP Guilds:
Couldn't find any, or anyone to help me with the names of some.
Guild Recruitment in game – mostly raiding guild recruitment and leveling guild.
Channels:
Channels seem run by guilds mainly, nobody was active on the basic ones I checked.
Friendliness Factor:
Not sure, didn't really get enough information from people to appropriately judge.
Overall:
Doesn't seem like a good RP server to transfer to, there are some pockets of RPers on the Alliance Side though a little harder to find. Horde side may have some, but they are harder to find. Could also be due to my level.
Other Realms:
There are more RP Realms which I am not rating due to the lack of Roleplay activity to form a proper rating. If you're still interested in checking them out, these are:
Blackwater Raiders
Earthen Ring
Scarlet Crusade
Sentinels
Shadow Council
Silver Hand
Sisters of Elune
The Scryers
Thorium Brotherhood
