2. I was a RPer! And yes some addons were helpful!
To start off, I have two ideas on this. One is NEED and two is HELP.
NEED
MyRolePlay
Okay, this is a nifty addon! It allows you to see OTHER RPers (because its hugely popular and indicates them as a fellow RPer), allows you to type in a new Name/Title/Race, ect. Allows you to put in a description, links to photos, background, and other nifty info to help bring in other people.
It also has a wonderful feature that allows you to say if your OOC (Out of Character) or IN (In Character). And what stage of RPer so you can let them know if your casual, hardcore, or just starting.
Like Progression Guilds, Hardcore RPers can be super bitchy and selective about who they let in. Some have no patience for new people and should be avoided till you are to that level because they will ignore you, try to godmob kill you (And Godmobing is really a freaking sin among RPers!), or just OOC berate you till you scurry off!
Sometimes its guilds, other times its just certain people but even when I was hardcore, I avoided those groups... Mainly because I enjoy being social with the person too. Like (( Hey, hows your day going IR? ^.^ )) while in the middle of a serious RP... Some people enjoy that kind of interaction, especially if their not in full swing of the current issue... Seriously, some people do RP with issues like depression, anxiety, or just straight out loners. So they main skulk around the group doing emotes or whispers... I imagine that gets a bit boring... But having a social interaction can help you bond with the person leading to more RP, friendships, ect!
Moving on!
HELPFUL
SpeakinSpell
This is a cool addon, even if you don't RP.
What it does is sets up automated speech tied to certain actions or spells. Then you can change how often it happens... Like 1 in 100 for a spell you spam but maybe 50/50 with a CD you pop every couple minutes.
It works for mounts and pets too!
And you can customize it whats said. Pick from the options or add your own to match your character or your own personality.
This stuff gets tons of comments on RP realms because it makes you look super hardcore while still focusing on your role. It adds a extra layer of story so to speak.. Heh... I learn to laugh at my jokes, yes.
It's also great for non RP with the tedious things like "Gratz!" You can set up a BUNCH of responses so it randomly does a new one for every achievement/level earned by guildies and party members. From /cheer to gratz to a long flowery Congratulation speech! Your call.
Altoholic
This is a personal thing... I use it 99% for PvE but it has been helpful when RPing. Mainly when I need to Ref another alt, when I need a CERTAIN item (Like the ONLY lovely black dress on my account), or if I have a RP event on any characters.
You get the idea.
Others to check out:
Blush Response
DungeonLore
FairLanguage / LanguageCycle (Different addons, similar use)
Mylune's Champions (Great for druids, hunters, or animal loving characters!)
Guild Bounty Hunter (Great for Guilds that like the Merc or Bounty Hunter theme!)
GryphonHeart Items (This one allows you to create and trade conjoured items with certain names, icons, and descriptions. Its cool, but I personally never got as much use out of it unless I did Guild Events I hosted)
Lore Library
Priestess of the Moon
There was a addon that also changed all your text to a dialect/language of your choice... But I couldn't find it again. So it may of been removed sadly.
But till next we meet, whats your kind of addon? Any favorites for RP?
