I attended Sunday and was dissapointed.
My background, I played DnD and other PnP roleplaying games since school and into Uni. I know roleplay.
I get into the cantina and its more of a sad single pick up joint than a real role play environment......
I think the problem was a lacking sense of what to do without a mission in the log.
If Bioware dont supply minigames, roleplay your own...This is the gap, people arrive and dont know what to do. I tried to start a gambling operation but I dont people think understood. You can invent your own games outside of what bioware have coded. Duels for dollars. Pick a fight and see where it leads. Or, gamble on something, anything, and youve got winners walking away with allot of cash and loosers thinking theyll win next time......
My initial roleplay was to play a Tatooinian spice dealer selling stims and other commodities in the cantina. No one appeared interested even though I was actually selling them under the vendor price
Overall I think the event needs more leaders to bring focus and help to make others see what it can be
