darthfergie Posted June 4, 2003 Share Posted June 4, 2003 From the IGN SWG Vault I'm a fairly new tester, so this is fresh in my mind. Hands down my favorite SW experience so far has been walking into a cantina on Tatooine. The very first time I logged into the game I took the Tour of the City (Mos Espa for me). When I entered a cantina for the first time I was blown away. The ambient noise of people conversing was great! The classic Star Wars cantina music was playing. The cantina seemed smokey (maybe just cause my field of view was turned down heh) People were sitting in chairs around tables talking of the last battle they were in (love the chat bubbles). People were dancing and playing music. I really felt like I had walked into a cantina in ANH. I was more of an MMO player than a Star Wars fan until I started following this game and got into SW. So anyways this was something I have never seen in an MMO before, where people gather and talk. Most of the games I have played feel so cold and detached, not so when you enter an SWG cantina. You feel part of a living community. The RP'rs out there are going to have a field day. In summation, I have been back to many cantinas at this point, many times. Yet still every time I walk into one I get warm fuzzie Star Wars feelings. Hope that all makes sense, thanks for reading. I'd never really thought about it...but before the only hang out was a weapons shop or something like that...and in most of those places you delt with merchants all over the place...just basically vending out of the inside of the weapon shop. This stuff would be just a chat room...some place to meet friends at...and all would be totally good. And then of course you'd have the occasional Cantina brawl and all sorts of goodies;) I can't wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for giving me even more hope in the game Fergie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackrabbit Posted June 4, 2003 Share Posted June 4, 2003 Yeah, I've been looking forward to cantinas since I heard about this game. I'm guessing half of my online time will be in a cantina. Can’t wait . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jan Gaarni Posted June 4, 2003 Share Posted June 4, 2003 It warms my heart to hear that cantinas are going to be very popular. I can't wait to get wasted together with my PA, celebrating the founding of our town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danyx Posted June 5, 2003 Share Posted June 5, 2003 There's a reason WHY you have to spend at least a little amount of time in the Cantina's. But it isn't torture. Entertainers gang together and perform. There will be parties ala AO at Romba's and Baboons. I can't wait till NDA drops. I have so much to share. At this point, I'm just squeeling every morning when I wake up and jump to the computer before work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xx_Patman_xX Posted June 5, 2003 Share Posted June 5, 2003 If Cantinas are popular and crowded in Beta imagine what they will be like at launch In the Cantina video from 2002 E3 the Cantina was nearly empry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donnie Darko Posted June 5, 2003 Share Posted June 5, 2003 I can't wait for cantinas too! Bar fights, getting wasted, checking out dancers, enjoying the music...it's going to be awesome...especially bar fights! I can't wait for a wookie to hand me my ass after he is done beating it.

Won't be hard to own my character in a cantina brawl...because of "No Blasters." Like I care tho. I'll be the guy grabbing onto the back of the wookie then getting suddenly tossed across the room...it'll be so fun. (finally planned out my character...so I'm set to go. I can't wait!)

You want to be beat up by a wookie. I would personally like to beat up a wookie, not have one beat me up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
