Wow, from the time I read the original post to when I got to the last one in the thread, there were like five additional replies!
I might be repeating what others have said... (and there are plenty good advices here)
From your posts, you seem quite self aware of the dynamics of coming from a place where you are super popular to a brand new place where no one knows you. That being the case, I think it will take some time to establish contacts and RP that are substantial. Like many others, I too derped around for a month or so, doing walk ups and such until I met others that I thought I could dive into actual stories with. But it took time to make IC friends and acquaintances. And sometimes a bit of luck helps too.
And despite what others have said, sometimes if an FC doesn't get back to you, it might be them and not you. Maybe they aren't actively looking to recruit? Or their recruiter has other things going on right now that it slipped their minds in getting back to you? Or maybe they do have a thing against certain character types...
Either way, keep trying! And keep looking! You already got some great suggestions here from other posters.
Also, something that worked for me when I started here is to peruse through the RPC boards. I skimmed through the Welcome section, Profile section, Making Connections section, and the IC posts to see what character and player I might want to get to know. Looking for personalities and styles that might gel with mine. If they had a wiki that helped too. Then I PM them to see if they are interested in meeting my character.
Anywhos, don't give up! There are plenty of opportunities to meet RPers and get into some storylines here in Balmung. Just have patience and perseverance and I think it will happen!
