Just because you're very popular in one game doesn't necessarily translate to any other games. I was popular among an RP guild back on WoW, too - people often wanted to RP with me and my alts. It was nice. Eventually drama split everyone up, but that's beside the point. I came to FFXIV and I was a nobody.

Ditto here. Â I was hugely popular in the last two MMOs I played but I haven't been able to find enough time to make it happen in FFXIV. Â So every time I log in, I'm a stranger because I'm not there day to day like I was in the past.
But I can't expect people to treat me like an entirely different group of people treated me in a different game. Â To me, this kind of reminds me of how it works during the transition from high school to college. Â Or even more recent, how it works when you move from one job to the next. Â It's awkward and embarrassing and even demoralizing in ways. Â But six months later, people are pretty acclimated and usually have a circle of friends.
Starting is hard. Â It's even harder to try to work yourself into a well-established group. it's nearly impossible for me because I don't have the time.
If you keep at it. Â If you're willing to be around, be seen, participate in a lot of things, you WILL be recognized and you WILL make friends. Â But it won't happen in a week.
Carne armum ergo sum.
