I've made all different types of characters over 20+, just trying to get people to notice me and accept me into their rp groups. I probably have spent over 100 dollars on fantasias and name changes alone. It's always different reasons: If you play a miqo'te you're a slut, if you play an Au Ra you're weeb trash. If you play an lalafell, you're not taken seriously. If you play a midlander, you're boring and unoriginal. These are the many conflicts I have that I've heard from others when I make my characters. I can't find that niche.
People don’t owe you jack shit. If you can’t find roleplay, it is your own damn mistake. If you don’t have the social skills to pull of such characters, just don’t roleplay said character. Find a more suitable character concept fitting with your real life skill set. If you can’t pull off the “Insert random character trope in hereâ€, guess what? Don’t roleplay it. You will be all the happier for it.
But ultimately? Get your whiny entitled ass out there and make your character interesting to interact with.
Now for you in specific.
Next to that. At a large event? Interactions? For crying out loud, Â I was roleplaying in a Linkshell due to the spam. Lots of people were doing the same. The spam was ungodly to keep up with, and its about the only thing you can do keep things readable. Things get lost in the chat at such large events.
Make an add on the RPC, make a post on Tumblr, go poke people in game who look interesting for roleplay. Hells, use those events to whisper people like "Can we RP at some later date, your character looks nice!" and add them to your friendlist.
Don't blame others for your lack of roleplay. Get your big girl pants on and have a good hard look at yourself.
Next to that? Cliques are never an issue. Cliques are a natural thing. They grow smaller and bigger over time, disband and get remade. Because ultimately those 'cliques' are likely just to be OOC friends you can be a part of as well if you actually did some effort. Your lack of roleplay or friendships in this game is solely to blame on yourself.
Man I dunno. I think it just takes time and devotion to a singular character. Breaking out into a community is a rather lengthy process- for me, it has taken several months of devoted play and outreach, and I finally feel like I'm about there. Still, it's not something that I've ever stopped doing. I don't think you can stop doing outreach and networking- it's like chasing the horizon. I can't say I've run into the problems you have, but granted, most of my networking is here on the RPC and in the FC realms. I don't hit the Quicksand or community eventus, usually.Â
If you have a Miqo'te, I can offer some connections there- that's pretty low hanging fruit.
