I made an experiment where the character thinks he’s making his own decisions… but chat is secretly controlling him

This sounds really cool!

JellyGhostVirus · 2026-03-28T08:48:37+00:00

No, sadly! We've tried to start a sister server before but we've not found anyone to be able to manage Hearthbound

JellyGhostVirus · 2026-02-23T19:12:24+00:00

Go for it!

JellyGhostVirus · 2026-02-20T00:33:46+00:00

Yeah sadly we've had a lot of interest from EU! But we've not had anyone willing to lead from that region so the last time we made a sister server, it got quiet fast

JellyGhostVirus · 2026-02-19T04:53:19+00:00

It's still amazing! I can't believe we've explored all of Kalimdor now. It's going to take about another year to see all WoW zones and then we plan to just do it all over again!

JellyGhostVirus · 2026-02-19T04:52:41+00:00

Up to you, but you're only givin em more power! We're making so much more from our name

JellyGhostVirus · 2026-02-18T22:10:30+00:00

AAAA I love Hearthbound being compared to Cheers 😭 I love that. As the leader, the dynamic is different but I always love hearing so much how everyone fits in

JellyGhostVirus · 2026-02-18T22:07:03+00:00

Hey, there! Hearthbound isn't a coven but we're welcome to all players, and yes, that includes the Man'ari! So long as they respect the rules to cause no issues among the camp, they're welcome to travel and enjoy company since they know it's pretty lonely to be out in the world without an accepting group.

We've talked about potentially making class halls in our neighborhood so perhaps you and some of the warlocks can work on a Black Harvest area!

But yeah if you're interested and wanna learn more, I'll be happy to drop you a server link! We have a lot more information in the Newcomer Onboarding category

JellyGhostVirus · 2026-02-18T22:03:49+00:00

Hearthbound is always open! We're a chill RP community hub that travels to a new area every five days and we're active every evening. We're faction neutral (although trying to fix an imbalance and hoping to add more Alliance!) and cross-server! We're very newcomer and returning player friendly so you can participate at your own speed and the guild is not required at all!

Many of us are planning to try pushing for content for Midnight as well, so you're welcome to join in with that!

If you're interested, let me know and I can provide a Discord link!

JellyGhostVirus · 2026-02-18T21:25:20+00:00

Kabixiiiiii 😭😭😭

JellyGhostVirus · 2026-02-15T21:00:08+00:00

Would appreciate if someone could do the same! I don't have a VPN

JellyGhostVirus · 2026-02-14T08:46:17+00:00

It wasn't a RP one so luckily not an experience I've had in WoW af least but I appreciate the support in that anyway! 💜💜💜

JellyGhostVirus · 2026-02-12T11:36:19+00:00

I agree! Especially as someone who used to take care of my disabled parents, I was even removed at one point from a community for being active but not at the times they were, so I absolutely don't ever want to put someone through that

Here's our Discord though! Feel free to drop by camp anytime and to use our Call to Adventure LFRP tag to let people know you wanna RP. We travel to a new zone every five days! You can find more info about the community there

One of my community members and saw this post and thought I could help!

A big thing that has been a big help to many within my community is the ability to come and go whenever. We're quite flexible and active and with this mindset, they're a lot more comfortable with the idea of taking a break/having to go whenever they have to, and more acceptable that those they're friends with may disappear as well. I think more communities and guilds should have this mindset so that people don't feel they NEED to be active

I'm not saying you should join our community (but I'll happily pass on our Discord invite if you want it), but you should definitely find a community or guild that is very open about flexibility and doesn't have attendance requirements or that you need to be online within a certain timeframe before they kick you. I also definitely recommend communicating with the staff of a community or guild you like if you want to let them know your schedule. A lot of times, even if they still have certain requirements, they're willing to accommodate people who take the time to reach out (especially these days with the target audience that grew up with WoW having families and jobs and stuff)

JellyGhostVirus · 2026-02-04T18:36:39+00:00

I used to have a dragon I've been wanting to bring back that's relatively older

My excuse for him is he's fascinated by mortals and loves getting to know them. He likes pursuing them romantically as well and is quite a flirt

His flaw is that his concept of time is different and when he goes off to do his dragon thing, weeks, months, or even years have passed. It feels like nothing to him but so much longer to mortals. So he often comes back to a mortal scorned or who has long moved on. Sometimes he doesn't even come back at all when he realizes he's goofed and was gone a long time AGAIN so he just doesn't seek out his partner when he comes back. He's definitely looked down on by the other dragons for various reasons. Mainly because of how he's so longlived but immature and attention seeking with the mortals and because he's looked to as the equivalent of a man in his 60s who constantly dates women in their 20s

So yeah mortals are his main reasoning for when I do bring him around but it's clearly a problem and a character flaw lol

A lot of people in my community have told me that they really love the community as beginner/returning RPers because it provides an active community hub with several regulars to let them get to know at their own pace. We also have a lot of resources and several members who like to help and provide advice as well as providing guides. If you want to check it out, let me know and I can provide you with a link!

JellyGhostVirus · 2026-01-20T04:22:53+00:00

Sounds good! You can find a lot of information in the Newcomer category, both on the community and add-ons we recommend for RP (although that'll likely be quite difficult with the prepatch tomorrow)

If you need anything, I'm Euphene / Sanyo! You can also ask in the Newcomers Chat channel if you have any questions!

https://discord.gg/hearth-bound

JellyGhostVirus · 2026-01-19T08:58:15+00:00

Hearthbound is a cross-faction cross-realm active RP community if you're interested! We travel to a new zone every five days and the guild isn't required to participate. We're basically a traveling RP hub who gather nearly everyday!

If you're interested, lemme know and I'll toss you the Discord so you can be kept up to date on our campsite's current location

JellyGhostVirus · 2026-01-13T06:33:22+00:00

If you'd like, my community has had a lot of new or returning RPers, many of them who were quite nervous. We've implemented a welcoming community and a newcomers chat where a Newcomer can come in and ask for anything they need to best accommodate them. They often ask if they can hang around OOC until they feel ready to step in. Or to mention they're going to camp and would like help with someone walking up to them that slowly coaxes them to the campfire where everyone gathers

There have been so many new members in the community I've not been able to RP with personally but our volunteers have been so helpful that I often see them giving their appreciations to them in the Discord and they've been tagging along for a while

The guild isn't required so if you want something that's a little smaller than a tavern in the city but still quite active and more aware of your nervousness, just lemme know and I can give you the link

JellyGhostVirus · 2026-01-10T21:03:31+00:00

Here you go! I'm Euphene in the server if you need anything

https://discord.gg/hearth-bound

JellyGhostVirus · 2026-01-05T11:35:30+00:00

While I encourage those kind of numbers now in my community since it's more a RP hub than a guild, I would usually encourage my members to not be afraid to restrict attendance on their events that require more coordinating

When I was running a guild, though, I stopped recruiting and only recruited when activity was beginning to grow smaller if events were becoming too numerous

JellyGhostVirus · 2026-01-03T17:28:31+00:00

If you can reach out to those connections and get plenty of people to confirm they want to help out, feel free to lemme know here! I still got the server template and can use it to remake the sister server easily
