I agree with her. Of the people I rp with regularly, only a quarter I would say actually use the RPC with any regularity. Most of the people I rp with are reddit or tumblr folks. In fact I have been making a lot of connections lately with people who use none of the above.
Clio and I saw/helped a very new person the other day and she was game only. The fact that no one had spoken to her at all until we did made us a friend. The rpc or any community at all played no role in it. Just being friendly is all thats needed. If I am known well at all it is not from the rpc or even my ingame rp. Its the fact I hang out in starter areas, hand out free hq gear and help... as we all should. There is great rp amd friendships to be had by saying hello to a new person.
