WoW: Role players found underground fighting clubs
WoW
What was the first rule of the fight club again? Well, it doesn't matter.The World of Warcraft PvP system isn't exactly the best. There are only a few different modes, a lot of complaints about balancing and the whole thing is also quite impersonal. Role players in particular were bothered by the last point, which is why they have now founded some fighting clubs to make things a little more interesting.

According to Polygon, players meet in the dark corners of Stormwind to play secret wrestling matches. The group is called Azeroth Championship Wrestling and organizes small exhibition fights for the local role players. A good story is in the foreground here and can be described well with "Kayfabe" from the acted wrestling.
There is also the Azerothian Boxing Association, which organizes tournaments in the Tian Monastery in Pandaria. The fighters have names like "The Silver Tongued Serpent" and "Rathaniel Shadowsong". The latter was the reigning champion until recently, but has now been defeated by the human William Hawke.

This role-playing PvP does not reward players with currency, equipment, or pretty looking mounts. It's just about telling and experiencing an exciting story. This is simply not possible in the normal World of Warcraft PvP systems (buy now € 14.99). To join an arena fight, for example, you log in to a menu for this and will then be teleported to any arena in the entire world.
Here you usually get an exciting fight from a gameplay point of view, es however, there is no narrative. "I made good use of my Defensive CD to survive the villain's burst" feels good to oneself, but it's not a great "spectacle" that the fighting clubs want to offer.

WoW looks gorgeous as a tabletop town
World of Warcraft is nearly 16 years old. Over that time, we’ve seen numerous expansions and even a return to the classic PC game’s roots with WoW Classic. During that time, though, we’ve also seen WoW get its own pen-and-paper roleplaying game. It’s been around since early 2003, though a content creator has recently shown off just how beautiful World of Warcraft can look like as a tabletop town.
As spotted by Wowhead, content creator Brent of Goobertown Hobbies put together a town inspired by the colours and architecture of the buildings in World of Warcraft’s various settlements. Brent explains that he was particularly taken by the different range of colours you get in the different cities. The shingles in Goldshire are all blue, in Lakeshire they’re red, and in Duskwood they’re notably grey and creepy. We’ve also got Stormwind, which features a range of different coloured roofs to represent each district.
Brent says he took a wander around the game’s world to take it all in before getting to work on his own painting job, and it sounds like quite a nice way to spend an evening. The rest of the video features Brent putting together some buildings from Tabletop World and painting them.

If you’re looking for some more old school World of Warcraft, we’re getting the Burning Crusade server in WoW Classic in June, with a pre-patch set to land next week. Alongside heaps of new content that’s rolling out in five waves, you’re also getting two new classes to play.
