due to work/school and timezones; a lot of rp is set up in advance between those that have been rping together or even fc mates. that's not to say you can't do what you just did and pop up a thread asking to meet some new rp buddies. :3 tell us a little bit about your character(s) and what rp you're looking to get involved in.
while i'm glad to hear you get rp within your fc there's also nothing to be upset about wanting to have more options to develop other sides to that character and branch out. quicksand isn't the only place to rp; for awhile there was a fairly active thread titled something to the effect of "anywhere but qs" for players wanting to get out of ul'dah's biggest and most crowded bar and into the other reaches of the world. bismark is a great place to have a lunch outing and you can get good drinks at the drowning wench; costa's a lovely spot (with the moonfire event still going, lots of events themed in that vein are taking place there or the bronze lake hot springs!) an gradania is always beautiful. (i had a wonderful afternoon picnic at sweet bloom pier with an ic friend a few weeks ago)
use those linkshells, tel them you're wanting to expand your rp or even poke around the linkshell forum here; not all of them are for fc and some are great for helping people with common ic an/or ooc interest make a connection.
so list up some kind of potential hooks for what you have to offer or what you're craving for rp and check the event/calendar page often! my favorite way to me a new rp buddy is to go into one of the events and just mingle! if you see someone off to the side or feel a bit shy; feel free to shoot them a quick tell asking if you can approach them for rp! there's so many one time and perpetual events going on, you're sure to meet some new people that can over time help you form stronger ic relationships an lend to more stories, so many ic/ooc friends i've gotten were through events or a simple note saying i had read up on their character and wanted to get to know them. granted not every meeting will go as planned but the more chances you take the more chances you have for it to work
