Don't know what's going?
Haven't got a clue about the detail of the lore?
Hoping to not say the wrong thing?
Then you are in luck! With our simple three step programme you can turn these weaknesses to your advantage. Yes, just a simple three step programme, that's free (send no money now).
Step 1 - Don't Panic. No one else knows what is going on.. honestly. Each person has their view of what is going on but unless it is a scripted story it will vary from person to person. Certainly when you take random people chances are they know little or nothing about the others.
Step 2 - People want to interact. Most people like interaction and would love to tell you some of their issues. All you need to do is find a way to break the ice. You can prepare some opening RP Picup lines if that helps. The point is that many will take the little hook you offer and pull you in, if not just try another person/group. If this still sounds scary, pick on one of those who put their hands up in this topic, or join one of the linkshells or a FC and people will help.
Step 3 - Set your character to confused. All these worries can all be explained away by IC not knowing. You don't have to play a know it all wise sage expert super slick character. You can play the new in town, some what confused, looking for friends type. In fact as people love to explain their plots/story being the sort that asks questions means they do all the hard work. Tip: Ask "open questions" to pull out longer answers.
Practice this sort of thing and you too can gain confidence to do walk up RP, fit into random conversations and get a reputation as someone who is good to chat to.
There is a lot more that could be said but the main thrust is accept you don't know IC and use it.
