Haha, I can honestly say I know exactly where your coming from, but I have to admit, I am GUILTY of everything you said. However, that's pretty much all I did when I first started. I had no idea what else to do. Exactly as you mentioned in your OP, sometimes it's really refreshing to take a break from leveling and just wander around looking for a group to RP with. Personally, I love it, I think it's so much fun getting into character. The best part for me is coming back the next day, almost like I'm coming back to witness the next chapter of the drama, sitcom, peoples beef, ect. When I was first introduced to role-playing, all I did was go around the cantina on the fleet trying to get female characters to "drink" with me dance for me, you know, dumb s***? But as time progressed, I stared to get creative, wean away from being a playboy, and into a more complex character. It's just all the people behind the keyboard. Some are pretty fun to RP with, others are just immature or just harass the hell out of other people just trying to have a convo. You just need to find your own place. Granted there's not much I can really say about whether or not RP's dying, since I've only been playing SWTOR since Feb. Hey, some people just need a little imagination and RP development. I don't take it THAT seriously, I just do it for the fun. I hope you find a good group somewhere or figure something out. -Kristov
