It might, but not always. Best way is to message someone privately and see if they are down to boogie. As said it won't always work, but like the lottery, you can't win if you don't play.(09-28-2015, 02:52 PM)Melodia Wrote: Definitely....I was hoping to meet Jancis ICly finally and I was trying hard...I should have just sent the tell to say hello.
Events aren't necessarily the best way to meet someone. There's a handful of role-players I'd really like to interact with that I keep an eye out for - but sometimes I just message them directly out of the blue to see if they're open to finding a way to get some role-play going.
Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't - but at least if you organise such a meeting outside of an event then you'll have each other's full attention. Whether it ends up just being a brief encounter or something more long term is often up in the air but...it's definitely worth a try!
For instance I had wanted to RP with Graeham for like 2 months before he PM'd me outta the blue, and we worked it out and had some lovely RP. And now that Edda is going back to Ishgard...
Also, I find that people in general are also more likely to remember and want to RP with someone who contacted them privately first, rather than some rando they ran into at an event with egregious amounts of chat scroll. This is just my personal experience.
