Do I need to be level 50 before I can really RP?
Because well sometimes I'm hanging around the Quicksand, sometimes I'm in the Drowning Wench, sometimes I'm out in the ass end of Eorzea. Now I'm one to use the whole search comment thing and it's all got these "Walk up anytime" shit or things along those lines. Being as I am, I usually send a tell first before I approach someone. Now one of two things usually happen, I get ignored>they're actually afk/they really just ignore me. OR They make some sort of excuse only to RP with some other level 50 dude who just walked in a minute or so later. Even if I just take the plunge and go IC on them, it's like I'm non-existent. It is kinda sorta chipping away at my confidence.
Yes I am aware of people being in IC and OOC states and I keep that in mind before approaching someone.Â
Okay so that was part curiosity and part me venting this shit out of my system.Â
At this point, I'd be happy for someone to even just have a few short words with Kurt and then go send him off to Coerthas or some place far far away on a job or what have you, maybe even go out there with him and teach him (not necessarily correct) things.Â
*venting complete*
I can promise ya, if I run into you, I'll RP with you. I have all 50s and still find a hard time just walking up to random people to RP with, especially if they are already in a group setting. Most times, they are already involved in whatever conversation and trying to pay attention to someone else joining in seems difficult. It's a skill to be able to type-converse with several people at once, given there are no chat bubbles and it can be hard to keep track.
I've seen very few people able to do that, this one lady I knew on SWTOR, she was very popular for being friendly with everyone. So basically, everyone knew her. She was really nice!
They aren't necessarily igging you on purpose, they may just be missing out or unable to also react with you while reacting with someone else. That's not to say there aren't people who do ig.
There are alot of... iffy people out there. I once had some person tell me they wen're interested in RPing with me unless there was a chance of a romantic relationship, otherwise any other RP would be pointless. You will meet people like that and people who might not RP with you because you aren't 50. You don't want to RP with these types of people anyway. It shouldn't matter what level you are, as long as you intend to RP and have fun with it. They probably have it in their mind if you aren't high enough level, you aren't as serious about RP as they are. Yeahhh.... no. Be glad you don't have to RP with someone like that, it will probably end bad.
I don't want to really say cliques, since I don't stick around long enough to notice if it's the same groups of people every night in the same circle, mostly talking among themselves or not. So I'll just say groups. Tends to be where everyone says is a hot spot for RP, the Goblet seems like where most of the group gathering occurs. I've found easier to initiate RP in places like Limsa and Gridania.
I've had plenty of folks of many levels randomly talk to me, we chat a bit but it seems usually its always folks who have small rp schedules, and tend to be on like once a week, if that or our time in game isn't synching up.
At any rate. Hope I run into ya. I often stand around like a statue trying to figure out what random thing to say to get into a conversation and after a minute or so, if I see that many conversations are already going on, most of which are people who seem to already be close to those they are talking to, I end up making my way back to my personal house to craft. Send me a whisper if ya find me in game, or are looking to RP! I'll do the same and look around for you!
I'll be sure to keep my player search open for you...okay that sounded just a little bit stalker...ish?...ry?...like?
