So it seems like the general consensus so far is that they're unhappy with their progress either in RP or in game progression, or both. And I am unfortunately no exception.
As far as game-time, I'm a bit limited right now. I'm still trying to figure out my current health problems so most of my day is spent in bed rest or sleeping, as I'm currently not well enough to go to work, and at times I'm uncomfortable to drive. I try to squeeze in an hour or two a day, even if it's just doing leves. Because of my moderately slow pace right now, Zeah's making some progress, however it is quite slow compared to everyone else. I'm also leveling a miqo'te for fun, and she's going to be predominately my fisher and other crafting toon, however I would like to implement her into RP one day.
As for RP, I've had very few RP encounters just because of my lower level and my lack of time. Zeah is developing much like I had wanted her to. She's meant to be a quiet observer, but upon being approached she is friendly and easy to talk to. The problem is just getting her to talk. Since she's just naturally not very talkative, it's very difficult to even initiate Rp situations by myself. And since everyone has sort of formed their own relationships with other characters and things now, I'm sort of just overlooked, but in reality, that's exactly how Zeah would end up being in a social environment.
So far I've "met" really only 2 people in RP, one was Renaise, because he had to give Zeah the pearl
and the other was Zink, a lalafell who came up and started conversing with Zeah at a small gathering we had in the Miner's Guild in Ul'dah. That situation was actually very fun for me to role play with, and I managed to pull off exactly how I thought Zeah would react to certain things. The lalafell started off rather friendly and then gradually invited her to dance, to converse privately and even asked her to keep him company for the night! And because Zeah is somewhat average, but by no means unattractive, I had imagined her having this problem in the past. She enjoys company but for now she's young and inexperienced in romance, but I figure she's been approached before. And I sort of planned on her just being a "buzz kill" expert, just mention things that throw the conversation for a loop and just things like.. "Well enjoying a night by the fire sounds very nice, but.. I would never sleep with a fire going. It could be very dangerous." ect. Or mentioning things that have nothing to do with the direction whomever is hitting on her is trying to lead things in. She almost plays sort of dumbfounded or unknowing of the intentions of others, but it's an act she plays nicely and I think I was pretty successful in that aspect.
I would like to get to know more people ICly. I'm in the Mog House so I tend to talk more OOC with everyone than IC, mostly because I don't really want to butt-in win the conversation already circulating in my RP LS, or there literally is just nothing that I could say that wouldn't sound forced or attention-seeking.
