The biggest issue I have with walking up is the absolute, gut clenching terror that OH GOD WHAT IF THEY AREN'T RPING. I've been on the other side of that, and on the approaching side. I even had a non-RPing friend who I play with on Balmung keep getting approached while he was trying to fish. The best you can do is keep trying...though I'm not really qualified to give the advice because I tend to shy away from it more often than I should! Oops! Search comments and friendly questions seem to help,though. (I'm actually acquainted with someone who roleplays a ton back from my Ragnarok Online days, but he has a bad habit of somehow getting stabbed a lot, so I'll avoid that for the moment. >.>; )
