Â I've kept in contact with a couple, but the others pretty much disappeared for one reason or another (ranging from intending to take a break for a month and never coming back to some just suddenly never coming back, while others disappeared online entirely and their IM and email accounts sit untouched or expired).
We tried our best to avoid "that stuff", but it really was hard to miss in certain areas and at certain times. Â My BE Hunter practically avoided the BE area except to tame a certain pet (and snag the non-combat pets back in the days before the combat pet system made owning more than one per account pretty pointless) and to do a few quests.
I was Alliance for the most part and rarely ever went Horde. I can't really say why, to be honest. It just never clicked with me. I have heard many great and wonderful tales about Hordeside RP, though!
I have fond memories and even greater screenshots of my Nelf pre-Moon Guard back when I played on Silver Hand during Vanilla and BC.
Blood Elf RP and No Blood Elves Allowed RP. One was vastly better than the other, but included about, oh, 10% of the server. It was why I spent most of my closing days on my Druid rather than any of my geared/raid toons.
Sweeping generalizations and sarcasm aside, Horde RP was alright. It had some really, REALLY good, inspired guilds that did some really cool things... And then there was the very prolific 'sex slave brothel' guild. /PTSD
I can certainly assure you that it went both ways. The Alliance side wasn't very different at all. You had your blatant ERP guilds and.. lol. There was that one lady that had pictures of herself and her dog. NSFW pictures.
