Playing an antisocial character can be fun... IIIFFF you don't really mind it's going to take longer to make those IC connections. If it doesn't phase you that a lot of characters/players won't make the effort to break your characters icy exterior, then play one! If, however, the idea of not many people trying makes you frustrated, you're better off playing a different sort of character.
Seconding that OOC connection is a major part, especially getting into Linkshells/FCs. Most of what I've observed is that if you emote out in the open you're likely only going to get people that are interested in banging your character. The only people I've seen just getting walk-ups tend to be female characters, and that's usually for the same reason. Even the few male walk-ups I've had have only been interested in trying to sleep with whatever character I'm on at the time, which is admittedly disheartening.
Most of it, of course, is because those people looking for that sort of thing don't tend to crowd linkshells that aren't catered to it, so they're the only ones standing around the open looking for things. Those that are either RP in their FC house almost exclusively or in unannounced areas for linkshell stuff. The result can be pretty disheartening, especially if you're actually looking for open world stuff. Sadly, I don't think this is going to be the game/community to foster it at the moment--if ever, with people breaking off to do things on their own. It's not a bad thing, of course. People are welcome to do whatever they wish. I can just see how it could turn away others.
