I sometimes wonder if folk have unrealistic expectations when it comes to how quickly they expect their RP to ramp up and how they expect people to react to their character and them as a player.
With both of my characters I play the most frequently I spent a good solid month or two on both just herp derping around going to different public events and trying to form contacts. It was through those events that I eventually found an FC that worked for me and it all paid off.
It really does take time and effort to establish a character. Browse the open events here on the RPC. Check out tumblr if that is your preference. Join an RP linkshell with announcements. These are all things that can help you but at the end of the day what it really takes is 'patience'.
Something else I notice people do a lot (In general, not necessarily you OP) is sometimes folk can be very reactive RP sponges. Meaning, they tend to not really generate any of their content and if there isn't someone around them spinning arcs or events or storylines then their RP would pretty much grind to a halt. RP is a collaborative process that rewards the creative and the proactive.
Being popular on a server ultimately means jack if you're not having fun. And if you're having fun who really cares if you're popular? Look for a group of people that jive well with you; not a prevalent guild tag or whatnot.
