I'll just go ahead and outline how I did any kind of RP in this game:
Step 1 - Join the RPC and discuss a character concept.Â
Step 2 - Make a character, level it on up while looking about for RP.Â
Step 3 - The forum actually sort of didn't work for me, so I poked people at random and asked to RP.Â
Step 4 - I asked about people's FCs to get ideas about which one to join.Â
Step 5 - Meet someone I knew in passing from another MMO years ago and join their FC.Â
Step 6 - Hardly ever RP with anyone in that FC because schedules don't line up and I made a damn difficult character to relate to. This is my fault.
Step 7 - Meet someone through that FC's IC Linkshell and RP with that person's group a lot.
Step 8 - Part as good friends with the group I was in and join the group I RP with all the time.
Step 9 - Play the most frustrating character in the FC on an IC level and try to be the nicest dude on an OOC level until present day.
This process took me the in the ballpark of two or three months to get to Step 5 and about four or five months after that to hit step 8. In the meantime, I sat back and enjoyed the game and RP'd with random folks while I drank in lore.
Honestly, I sort of like that time without the characters being connected strongly. It helps me talk to random folks and refine the characters so I can get the shape and mindset set where it feels right to me.
To be frank, I don't think your problems are stemming from your name. I've poked you three times that I recall and added you to my friend list, and I've never managed to pin you down for RP.
