You know you can also send a tell to me and I will drop whatever fate, quest, whatever I'm doing and port to your face with an idea most of the time. If I had your IGN and a list of times you're on, I will personally look for you and engage in jolly cooperation...I mean RP. Timezones be damned!Â

I know the feeling of not being noticed, it sucks and I will do what I can to make sure you have yourself a fun time RPing.Â

Sorry about not messaging you right away, I posted here then went to sleep, as it was 4:30am my time when I posted... I'll definitely message you when I get on, and... Thanks again!

Well, I've met a lot of nice and awesome people, and lots of people are willing to help me advance, but I'm now able to go to the other main cities and such, and... I can access the main game content just fine and people are always friendly and willing to help, but when it comes to RP, I just can't find anyone in-game... I found that "quicksand" place, but... No one noticed me, and I am really shy, so... I dunno, I'm just having trouble with it all. I joined an OOC linkshell, but I can't find any in-character ones, or any FC at all... (Plus the nature of my character, he's supposed to be shy, so it's difficult to initiate any dialogue because of that as wellÂMy character is also not exactly sociable. It has been a struggle making connections, and without the help of a few players it's unlikely I would have been able to do it too easily.)
I don't know, it may just be that I'm new, or not looking in the right places... (and the extreme shyness doesn't help either...) but thank you for all the help and advice you guys have given me so farÂÂ I really appreciate it!Â
I initiated conversation at the start by emoting at people. Like say, using the command /em will narrate what your character is doing in a different color than using /say or /tell, etc.
So if I put "/em watches <t> nervously" into the text bar, that will make "Virara Wakuwa watches (the person I'm targeting) nervously" appear to others in the area. That is a way I initiate conversation without actually having the character talk. If the player is receptive to walk up RP, they can use that as an opportunity to talk with your character. There are also the emotes from the emote menu that have animations associated with them; /em just does custom emotes with no animation, but it'll get the job done.
Of course it's not guaranteed everyone will notice, so you can also /tell the person ahead of time that you want to start a conversation, but your character is shy, and would not initiate. That way you can create a situation in which he would talk with them.
Edit: Had to shorten some of the quotes to make the post shorter... :O
