Mutcha and I have been thinking about the Horde Military last night, and we came up with the following:
We'd like to make a piece of the Horde Military for roleplaying (Not a guild) to promote the grunts and the such and to add more RP-possibilities, it can also increase RP in areas such as Orgrimmar, where the occasional-RP is not that occasional depending on what time of day you walk 'round, but that could be just me.
If this interests you, read on!
We'd like to gather a group, starting with 4 or so in total and maybe expanding later, at first probably only for orcs, and then accepting trolls and tauren, our group however will wear Horde-uniforms.
The main thought behind it all is to be epic, without being epic.
What's more impressive to you? A pack of four grunts in identical uniforms or one bloke in season 4 showin' off what he's got?
We've already set up four ranks for our group:
rank 1 being the Grunt, wearing Grunt uniforms, shoulderpieces show whether they are archers or melee combatants, shaman wear Stonecloth robes or alike.
rank 2 being the Stone Guard, wearing Grunt uniforms with several improved aspects.
rank 3 being the Champion, wearing the Champion's battle-armour.
rank 4 being the Warlord, wearing Warlord armour.
Don't be afraid of the lovely PvP-items mentioned now, they cost nothing and are easy to obtain, my guess is they'll be extremely easy to get once WOTLK is out.
Also, some of you may wonder "Doesn't this clash with the guild-ranks?", no, it doesn't as our group only functions when you're on-duty, meaning you wear your uniform and roleplay your rank and such, whenever we're with the guild then our group has little meaning to the leadership of Red Blade.
Also, bonuses of this group would be that I'd like to organise special events for parttakers and of-course, more RP, try roleplaying a grunt all day when you have no-one else to do it with, that gets boring after a few days.
I'll add pictures of the planned uniforms and whatnot, if you're interested leave a post! Or discuss troubles you have with this.
Mhokkiewockwock.
