I'll admit that as a general newbie, and a shy one at that, it has been a little daunting to get involved in RP since I moved to this server. I have met some fantastic people at random though, so it hasn't all been a bust.
That said, while it may seem "monotonous" as mentioned earlier, I have appreciated the simple tavern nights at FC houses. I have only been able to attend a few at this point due to scheduling and internet issues, but despite having difficulty with putting myself out there in the social sense, it has given me the opportunity to be seen by others so that I may be recognized in the future, and has opened the door to a few IC acquaintances that may or may not pan out to anything in the future, but such is life.
Without the open house nights, however, I do agree that it's been difficult to really immerse myself into the game entirely save for the random street RP that usually ends with a guy asking me if I have a boyfriend...
I've been told that many RPers these days take their RP to their FC houses now, which is a real shame as I feel like I miss out on many interesting people. But, as was mentioned earlier, like-minded people tend to fall together in cliques, which I can completely understand and sympathize with. It just makes a newbie's job a little more difficult in the way of making an impression as I've felt like most people only want to socialize with people they know, and I'm kind of against being "aggressive" in making others notice me. But I'll continue my search for more experiences, whether inside or out of a tavern setting. It's a wide world and there's much to be seen/discovered since they aren't promoted by advertisements. >^.^<
