I have played this game for a few months and i love it, but all the servers i have played on never got into the role-play side of mmoRPgs. I was wondering how the rp and rp-pvp server experience is in the game. I would go and see for myself but I am worried I will either run into some bad experiences that will ruin it for me, or get too attached to my character on a inactive rp server. Any realms you guys would recommend?
Also, any advice on actually role-playing? The only experience i have with that is thru table-top games such as Dungeons and Dragons and World of Darkness. Is it much different from that?
Edit: Forgot to mention. I am on US servers.

Always a good idea to find a good guild, that's usually where the RP'ing occurs more. Or have a few good friends on the server with you works as well.

Silvermoon and Goldshire.
NEVER
Under any circumstances.
EVER GO THERE.
I have heard of the horror stories. Good thing I never roll humans/blood elves.

You won't find much RP in starter levels, regrettably. Also, are you on the US or EU servers? Sort of helps when trying to suggest a server...

Thanks Queggy. That last one helped a lot.

The best advice that I have to offer is to gradually develop and get to know your own character. It will help you when you are in-character and are interacting with other characters. In and of itself, WoW doesn't do a whole lot to cater towards RPers and 90% of the RP will therefore have to take place in your head.
As others have recommended, getting into a great RP guild is essential. I have tried on two or three servers. Some servers offer plenty of RP entertainment, even outside of any guilds. Some, on the other hand, that are supposed to be RP, aren't really RP unless you are in a guild. Earthen Ring (US) comes to mind.
