So. When this poll is done, I'm starting an alt.

I'm also *considering* starting it on an RP server.

Sometimes when I'm browsing WoW blogs on the interwebs, I'll stumble across one that focuses on role playing. The back stories behind each character always intrigue me. I've never come up with a good back story for Averna, and it makes me feel like I'm doing her a disservice. It would be really neat to start a toon from scratch, with a history, a personality. It would also be neat to have a new project in WoW - something fun and different. It's easy to get sick of the same old stuff on the same old toon. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love Ave, but sometimes you need to shake things up a bit.

I don't think I'd be happy playing full time on an RP server. Being in character most or all of the time would get to me after a while. Although I'm sure that RP servers aren't much different than regular servers, are they? Can we really expect an entire server to truly role play?

So I guess my questions to all you RPers out there - are there any servers that are known to be decent RP servers? And would anyone be remotely interested in reading some RP-type stories about my new toon once a week or so, here on this blog? Do you guys come up with a back story for your character before you start? Or while you're first playing? Also, should I be feeling *super* nerdy because I'm considering doing this? Is RPing.... (/gasp) too nerdy even for ME?

Then I think, hell, I already play World of Warcraft. It's like in Firefly:

Wash: You mean...like telepathy? That sounds like something out of science fiction!
Zoe: Honey, we live in a spaceship.

So nerdiness aside (besides, do I really care what other people think?), any advice? Suggestions? Input would be appreciated!
