WoW? Â The one game where I've ever seen someone playing a time-traveling dragon courtesan played straight and be taken seriously?
What, were you playing on WRA? Â I know those people can be Nazis, but that just mesmerizes me! Â If anything, it was being able to get away with anything that sometimes made me facepalm in WoW RP.
The staff was a gift from her tutor from like thousands of years ago. I even described it as just being heavily decorated and the horns were made from white wood. So overtime it began to look like that giant staff head through adding more items....
I was no dragon. I was just a Night Elf Mage who had been roaming Azeroth for a thousand years looking for my purpose while also making stories and songs along the way (BARD! I CALLED IT! > : D).
It was a sad day when they all shunned me or ignored my attempts to be civil in someone's rp because of said weapon. But then again I was one of the best mages on Alliance side raiding at that time before I moved late Mists when my guild half disbanded. So I reside my character on Velen as a Troll instead for the future of raiding.

And to answer back everyone else:
Yes I know it's best to use any other wep model and for the moment I doubt i can even use the Curtana in RP...but i gotta find a good weapon model for the weapon her father abandoned when it comes time to it.Â
Still i enjoyed reading everyone's take on this subject. It was all interesting and insightful.
Sounds like WRA Hordeside RP, really, if I had to guess your server. Â My Alliance went Emerald Dream, Thorium Brotherhood, then Moon Guard where I now reside. Â Still the best RP community in WoW if you stay far, FAR away from Goldshire. Â My Horde were on Steamwheedle Cartel, which is a barrens for RP. Â Finally, after everyone said that Wyrmrest Accord was the best Horde server for RP, I swapped my characters over.
I'm usually fine... usually. Â However, WRA is easily the most frustrating server to RP on. Â Oddly, it's not because it's full of bad roleplayers, but because it seems to have attracted a lot of insufferable pricks. Â RP gets stopped every few minutes because someone is throwing an OOC tantrum. Â Roleplaying on there for a few minutes with my brother netted me at least two people berating us because we were winning a fight in a bar (and I literally think that's exactly what they told us, from what I could understand of their ramblings >.<).
You find a few sane people and RP, it's fine there. Â But I've never heard so many interruptions for lore-nazying, combat arguments, people drilling other people's MRPs EVEN IF THEY'RE NOT ROLEPLAYING WITH THEM! Â It's ridiculous. Â Eventually I ended up playing more of my Alliance just because even if it wasn't me getting yelled at constantly, it really ruins the experience when people can't learn to take the money and run in random RP.
As to the point, I just say use whatever weapon you want for RP purposes as long as it's not the actual "legendary weapon" itself. Â Second, I'd recommend you focus as little on the weapon as possible. Â I generally make sure people know my characters are equally dangerous with a pool cue as they are with Thunderfury, Blessed Blade of the Windseeker. Â Then people don't care what kind of weapon you're hauling.
