If I could make a suggestion? Try hosting it less often. There's a reason, Horde side, we have our lore/discussion/forum event just once a month, as the past has taught us that attendance rates tends to decline if you have them too much. Certain events, like a tavern, do well as weekly events. Others, like this/lore night/story telling type things, generally do better on a less frequent basis.
Just a suggestion, of course.
*Edited for early morning poor grammar.
I certainly appreciate it! I have been thinking about doing something like that, but I'm also concerned that the subject matter may simply be dull. I personally enjoy debate, but I also know that not everyone else does. I will be considering this idea though, and asking around to see if it would work for everyone.
Thank you for the suggestion.
