I'm in pretty much the same boat, except on Malboro. I've been trying to dip into random events and such, but it seems like it's a lot easier if one finds an active FC. I am considering making a second character on a more rp populated server to use for rp purposes, but since I have a house and such on my main, I'm not sure I want to go through the getting a character established process again either.
Making friends is hard. Solidarity.
