I think this is a really good goal to work on. Especially to those who have never RPed in a MMO before. I think the scariest part of my first coming to Balmung was being completely unfamiliar with MMO RP. I still feel a bit sketchy on it at times, but being able to actually get some in-game RP under my belt helped a lot with that.
The Making Connections section, I'd think, helps a lot with that? If not, we should definitely promote more ways of getting people's feet wet and more comfortable with MMO RP. I think my greatest failing was saying I'd RP with a newcomer and getting caught up in all the other stuff that I was doing that she fell on the wayside...
I think she's still on my Friends List, too... and I always feel that pang of regret whenever I see she's online. Yet I'm also a bit too ashamed to shoot her a /tell out of the blue and see how she's doing too. I'm terrible.
