Hi there,
Where are you trying to find rp? If you're doing it mostly during events, I think it's unexpectedly the most difficult setting to meet people, as most of the time rpers are already in groups or know each other, and as Mercenary said, texts are going so fast than even when you try to focus only on your friends' text you're still missing bit of sentences sometimes.
I'd rather advise you to post a thread in "making connections" to introduce part of your character concept and ask if people are interested to set up a meeting. I did it when I arrived as a newbie on Balmung and met awesome people I'm very thankful to know now!Â
You can also wander in the quicksands, there's always someone looking for new rps.
And if you've already done all of this then perhaps there's another problem or you've really been unlucky. Sometimes people are just busy doing something else, or chatting in /tell or /party or afk and miss your post. Sometimes it gets eaten too. Be patient and do not hesitate to ask people why they ignore you if you really think they do. I'm part of the people targetting random rper to read their description 'cause I'm like super-curious, and based on that I get an idea whether the player would be interested with my character or not, so maybe it's what some people did?
Usually I like meeting new rper so, do not hesitate to poke me ig if you want to meet (unless you're an au'ra, 'cause my character will just snob you, and that's not what you actually need xD).
