So, what kind of WoW player are you?
A PvP'er? A PvE'er? Achievement whore? Raider? Tell us about your toon(s) and what you like to do. :)

I'm pretty much PvE -- I love doing quests, even to the point of not minding too much when I need to grind rep. I like doing instances, but -- go fig -- "only with nice people" (aka people who, if they don't like what I'm doing, make useful suggestions and refrain from saying nasty things. Shocking, huh?)

I'm curious about battlegrounds, but I'm not much for random world PvP. I actually like helping people out, even if they're of the other faction. I figure the LK/Deathwing/PlotBunny is far more of a threat to everybody than we are to one another.

I'm pretty much the same way. I wouldn't mind doing instances and raids if people were courteous and telling me how to improve in a nice manner. People wonder why I'm not so good at something or know a fight--its b/c when I try to do a PUG, I get yelled at and just leave to avoid annoying people.

Pretty much. If I see a horde or anyone killing something nearby, I try to help if it looks like they need it. Doesn't bother me. Battlegrounds are okay to play, but I don't play those for achievements b/c it'd be impossible for me most likely. AHHA.

Me too - although once in Hyjal I wound up flagged for PvP after I happened across a Blood Elf getting mobbed at one of those portals where you have to summon the spider. I'm not sure if I accidentally hit the PC or if it just works that way, but I was startled. Anyway, we killed the spider and the angry druids and both flew off, so it had a happy ending. :)

I think one reason that an RP-PVP server appeals to me is that in a way, I am helping other players when I do my part on the PVP front -- that we're all trying to tell a story together, I guess, is how my brain parses it, and that by trying to kill them, I'm helping to tell that story. And by them trying to kill me, they're also trying to tell that story. It isn't just players randomly deciding to interrupt one another's days with mayhem and murder.
