Sort of, though little has changed in that regard. There's a lot of people I would love to interact with more frequently but they're so rarely available in-game for stuff that isn't necessarily planned out that I don't really bother probing them as frequently as I could.
I often feel like a lot of role-players wait around for someone to come to them, or they'll role-play with someone, add them to their friends list and then never get around to interacting with them again. In some cases there's a good reason for this - such as real life getting the way or timezone differences. In other cases, though? It feels very much like people are just focusing almost exclusively upon their immediate circle of contacts and not really branching out beyond that.
Many will manage to show up to popular events, of course, but they're often very busy and there usually isn't any time to get involved with a proper reunion. On the plus side, though, there's people I can role-play with after months of no contact and our characters hit it off as though little had changed. I wish I could see more of that.
