This is a really interesting topic. While it does feel a bit presumptuous to tell people "you might have heard of my character," there are times where it makes sense, such as when aspects of their backstory line up. This is one of the things I love about the RPC wiki, because I can brush up on the characters and try to see if there is the potential for crossover knowledge.
How do I get the word out? I try to read up on characters that I plan on interacting with so that I can spot these things ahead of time, and if I think any of my character's story is relevant to them, and we are likely to RP, I will gently point it out, probably by contacting them in private. Eorzea is a big place but I think it makes plenty of sense, for example, that two people who both served in the same Grand Company might recognize one another the first time they meet in-game.
