A small bit. I've largely roleplayed with two people in particular, one whom I think is also freelance, and the other who I don't even think is on the RPC.

I've had passing interaction with some other people both on here and not on here, as well.

Honestly, I don't look at having a lack of a role-play linkshell as some form of impediment. If anything, it's a wonderful challenge, forcing you to be more creative, not to mention more active in initiating contact with other people within the scope of the game, instead of just half-assing it and planning with someone else out of character in your linkshell.

Not to say that's bad or anything. Just a lot of people use it as a lazy means to begin character interaction, instead of free-forming it.

In my linkshell back in FFXI, IC conversations were the norm and expected standard of LS interaction. Meet ups weren't planned; if someone was heading to a tavern they would invite other to come along IC. If anyone was going to be going to, say, the Crawler's Nest to 'train', they'd ask if anyone was interested in joining. I didn't know much OOC conversation for event planning/ roleplaying. So I guess what I'm saying is that, I don't think there needs to be that sort of environment because of the LS. You can OOC if you want in /tells but the LS was almost always for IC discussion.

Though I do agree with the impetus to initiate contact when you don't have an LS. That does force you to be more proactive with people that you might not otherwise be.
