An RP-PvP ruleset is coming to WoW: Forever after all

· by Davina Asaria

Feedback works! Just a week ago Blizzard said there were no plans for an RP-PvP ruleset in WoW: Forever. Now Senior Game Designer Josh "Aggrend" Greenfield announced the opposite.

What Blizzard says

  • In the podcast the team shared its concerns about RP-PvP, but also said it was still talking about it and watching player feedback.
  • Over the last few days they looked at what it would take, and decided to go for it.
  • There will be a Roleplay PvP ruleset at launch on November 4.
  • Blizzard is working hard to make it possible to choose RP-PvP and reserve names there when the Name Reservation starts on Tuesday October 27.

The rulesets at launch

  • Normal: fight other players when you want to.
  • PvP: you can almost always be attacked by the other faction.
  • Roleplay: strict naming and behaviour rules for players who want to play their character.
  • Roleplay PvP: new, the roleplay rules on a PvP ruleset.
  • Hardcore follows later.

What this means for Legends of Azeroth

Good news for everyone who loves world PvP with a story around it. Before we all claim our names on October 27, let's agree as a guild on which ruleset we play. Share your vote in Discord!
