(( We’re going to go a little OOC here just so we can clarify and refine the plans for this event. We figured it would help a lot of folks to know if they are interested in bringing their guilds or their wares or even attending if they had some idea what to expect.))
So, for us, the idea behind “The Blooming,” is something like Burning Man meets Beltane; Come to Azeroth.
It is a late Spring/early Summer festival that is focused on Pleasure, Beauty, Creativity, Energy, and Fertility. (Depending upon your geographic location, of course)
It will embrace Mystic Culture, Warrior Culture, Creator Culture and have some acknowledgment of the reality that from Destruction, comes Creation. In essence, it is about renewal and joy.
With that in mind, it is going to be much less centered around war and militarism. Though we’d love for the RPPVP/RPPVE guilds to show some creativity here, and perhaps plan some events around healing after the war, on skill development and the spiritual side of Warrior Culture, and more so about what we fight for, when we fight.
As you can see, it is slightly different in focus than a lot of the other festivals on offer and we aim to keep it that way. We won’t be doing kissing booths, pet battles, “Prettiest” contests or anything of the like.
It is about unleashing creativity, building community and taking our characters, our writing and our story-lines to places we may have not yet thought of.
While the event will be PG-13, we would like to encourage in the spirit of things like Burning Man, for folks to feel free to be as scantily clad on their pixels as they’d like, as the wild calls for. Be creative with your outfits. Some areas, like the Red Moon’s Pavilion, may well be clothing optional after sundown (6-PM)
However, we all know the limitations of WoW, so the worst anyone is going to see is red bra and panties.
