## Key points

- Roleplay servers feel calmer and more immersive.
- Most group content does not involve roleplaying.
- The writer wants optional travel to PvE servers.

## Summary

The writer argues that WoW: Forever’s roleplay servers should be able to connect with the Normal PvE servers, even though keeping roleplayers mainly on separate servers makes sense. After spending around 15 hours playing on a roleplay server, they say its calmer atmosphere is valuable, but the strict separation limits players’ options without a clear benefit.

Roleplay mostly happens spontaneously in the open world or in dedicated social areas, rather than during group content, and only a small share of players stay in character all the time. The writer has seen both lore-friendly and joke character names, with little hostility beyond one passive-aggressive complaint about mining nodes. They suggest allowing roleplayers to join PvE groups or travel between server types, which could also help players keep their established characters if roleplay-server populations decline.
