What is Total Roleplay 3

It is the main addon roleplayer used in WoW to create profiles, and communicate their character across the world. It’s almost mandatory to be able to understand people’s current focus. It’s also valuable in learning about OOC details like a person’s age that may be even important to a non-roleplayer. People use TRP both to communicate characters they have created, or their out of character focus too. It has value for both types of people.

Why should I install it?

  • Vast majority of players on Moon Guard have the addon installed (over 75%), without it you’re unable to participate in roleplay or will just be confused at times.
  • Many players explain OOC details too, like their age or the content they enjoy running. Even if you’re not roleplaying, it can be worth having just to know who you’re talking to.

Create Your Profile

  • First time you start TRP3, it will recommend you to create your own profile.
  • You start out with a placeholder profile, from here you can create your own.
  • Profiles can be used across your account, even used on different characters. That said most people usually stick to a handful of profiles, or even just one per character to keep things simple.

Below is an example of how formatting works in TRP3, by clicking the button it helps auto-format various things. You’re able to stack multiple, such as “colored text” and “H1 Headers” as shown.

Once saved, you will be able to preview your TRP3, if it looks broken or your colors are wrong! Check your {/col} and {/h1}. All formatting must start open e.g {h1} and end closed {/h1}.

Adding Glances

Make sure to click “Active This Slot”, otherwise others won’t be able to see it! Glances are a important feature to explain to players what they see about you on the surface. This can be used as a “hook”, meaning something players can comment on about you without knowing you. This helps players approach you!
