^ This. So much this. ;; I've been back in the game a quite a while now, but outside of speaking with my FC I'm just too busy panicking and flailing to make contact with anyone. Lots of silly antisocial thoughts I won't elaborate on here because I don't need to, but you probably get the idea.
I have a lot of people on my friendslist that I feel like I want to speak to - Old TTG members, and such! But...Nope. Can't bring myself to do it, for this exact reason.

Perhaps people are still a little swept up in the "ooh shiny new expansion content" feeling and RP has fallen down the list of priorities? I know in my case it's more a matter of "I'm a wuss and the only difficulty here is me", but I've noticed a lot less RP being called out in the linkshell side of things, too.
