I've been rooting around trying to find a free company, linkshell, or even one of the houses but I am unable to find a good starting RP place. I'd like to join but where does one start? Do people get responses if they post in the Player Directory? Should I just stand in the middle of Limsa Lominsa and just spam the chat? How did everyone else get started?

So are there good places to start looking universally? Or is it just each server kind of has a different way of going about the rp scene?

I want to get into RPing, but I want to kind of watch to get a feel for it all. Is there a group/hangout/ect on the Leviathan server to me to just kind of observe before I full decide to get into it? Any tips to get into it as well that you wish someone would have told you before you started? Thanks in advance for the help!
