Last week's All the World's a Stage (http://www.wow.com/2010/02/07/all-the-worlds-a-stage-you-cant-be-a-vampire/) was focused on the idea that not every character concept is appropriate to every group. The fundamental notion I was trying to convey is that each group has their own normative behaviors, themes, and characters. There's not necessarily anything fundamentally substandard about playing a vampire. Rather, many roleplay groups won't have space or stories available for someone who is playing one of the blood-sucking undead.
That being said, there was enough discussion about being a vampire that I wanted to take some time and review how you can go about exploring that character concept in the World of Warcraft. Azeroth isn't necessarily home to huge vampire organizations (http://www.owbn.org/) or angsty teens (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twilight_%282008_film%29) exploring puberty, but there are still plenty of opportunities to try out the ideas without breaking WoW genre.Continue reading All the World's a Stage: How you can be a vampire (http://www.wow.com/2010/02/14/all-the-worlds-a-stage-how-you-can-be-a-vampire/)
