Well, I've met a lot of nice and awesome people, and lots of people are willing to help me advance, but I'm now able to go to the other main cities and such, and... I can access the main game content just fine and people are always friendly and willing to help, but when it comes to RP, I just can't find anyone in-game... I found that "quicksand" place, but... No one noticed me, and I am really shy, so... I dunno, I'm just having trouble with it all. I joined an OOC linkshell, but I can't find any in-character ones, or any FC at all... (Plus the nature of my character, he's supposed to be shy, so it's difficult to initiate any dialogue because of that as well )TL;DR TELL TO WIN!
I don't know, it may just be that I'm new, or not looking in the right places... (and the extreme shyness doesn't help either...) but thank you for all the help and advice you guys have given me so far  I really appreciate it!Â
LOOK FOR KEIL AMALLE RIGHT NOW. IF YOU'RE ONLINE.
Player Search him, should be under the social tab thingy, just press 'p' and go to player search right now and go send him a /tell any /tell and I will find you!
In any case, just go out there and send a tell to someone, they don't bite especially if they are from here. At least that's all you have to do. Exhaust your options, take the plunge and just shoot a tell or even walk up and start an IC conversation out of the blue, okay so that's just not possible since your character is shy. Same way Keil can't RP with anyone because he locks up or get tense around other miqo'te and everyone knows 90% of Eorzea are miqo'te!
You know you can also send a tell to me and I will drop whatever fate, quest, whatever I'm doing and port to your face with an idea most of the time. If I had your IGN and a list of times you're on, I will personally look for you and engage in jolly cooperation...I mean RP. Timezones be damned!
As for the Quicksand, well despite the fact that everyone is there, cliques are formed and that usually means anyone not of the group is going to have hard time getting an RP. My advice, look for people standing around and alone, approach em with a tell see if they want to RP. They're bored and probably just as shy as you are. It all starts with "/tell *player name* Hi, do you want to RP? Maybe we can bounce ideas around?" or something like it and can grow exponentially from there!
I also know how daunting it is when everyone seems to be with someone and you just can't find that lone whatever doing the same thing you're doing and feeling the same as well. It'd be rude to interject yourself into their conversation regardless of how interesting it is to your character, which is why /tells are there. It takes a lot of courage but tells are there exactly so you can ask permission to join among other things.
I know the feeling of not being noticed, it sucks and I will do what I can to make sure you have yourself a fun time RPing.
Sorry if I sound so passionate about this. I was someone who went in here, knew no one, worked, sweated, /telled and got either ignored completely or got stood up mid-way through an RP. I was shy too, so here's a amateurtip: Just think: "This person is just as shy as I am and I just need to make the first move to make the magic happen! That's why they're just standing there."
TL;DR TELL TO WIN!
