The main problem of that topic is it turned onto some "veteran" vs "newbie" thing and it makes me feel really uneasy.
- There are Veteran who don't find some RP (I know a bunch of those)
- There are Newbies who have no problem to find some RP.
- RP is possible between Veterans.
- RP is possible between Newbies & Veterans.
- RP is possible between Newbies.
And for some reasons, while the topic was going on, it turned onto so "Why do the Veteran (Aka the community) don't RP with the newbie". I don't like this and for several reasons.
Why can't the newbies RP with some other newbies ? I mean.. There is no law anywhere saying that for existing in the community you are forced to reach out to the Veteran and hope them to see you. You can RP with some other people who just joined the game too, create your own stories and have fun. It's a waste of time to focus on a goal such as "breaking into the community", focus on "making some nice connections" instead
It's not important if the one you RP with are considered as Veteran or Newbie, what is important is to have fun and the "Veteran" status doesn't imply that you will have more fun with them. Anyway you will see that the more you will progress in your story, the more you will meet people and the more you will meet some people who knows who are supposed to be some veterans and you will eventually be considered as a veteran yourself.
Focus on yourself. I mean, you created a character and his background, you probably have several loose ends you need to fix because, somehow, that's what makes a character interesting and fun, so.. Focus on your character, meet some people you like whether they are there since long or not and are well known or not.
- Use the LS / Making connection forum to find some specific people to help on specific point on your story.
- Meet some people on random place, dunno, the quicksand is an idea, but there are all sort of places where there are RPer : RP in open space, visits some bars / taverns / IC houses (Check Xen's list > HERE <).
- Post some advertisements in the Tonberry's Lantern section of the forum. If you have the time, try to make it looking like a real advertisement.
- Read the Making Connections part of the forum. It's not because you will post a message there that the people posting a message in this section will read it, just have a look there, see if someone could match with your type of RP and pm them if that's the case.
Never force yourself. Find and follow your own pace, don't stress yourself out, people will feel it as well. There are tons of way to meet people, as for IRL, sometimes it will be OOC first, sometimes you will just have someone running at you in Ul'dah's market and before you could know it, people will talk about you as being a Veteran and will consider you as a model
