There's definitely more people to meet on this server, even if Balmung is closed.
I've been playing with the same people for like four years. Has my RP grown stagnant? It doesn't' feel like it, but I definitely understand the want of meeting new people. Everyone I've RPed with, it always started out with me PMing them and arranging a meet up. I think my method of meeting new players is still the same: read IC posts, look through the Player's Directory here, read through Making Connections area, and also combing through tumblr. The latter I should do more of, I'll admit. I'll also make note of those that just walk by with their RP tags on when I am running around. Then try to see if they have a wiki or anything anywhere written about them. I try to see if people are like-minded before contacting them.
So there are people to be found! New not because they are new to the server, but because I've never ran into them! I think RP can become stagnant anywhere, whether the server is open or not, if you just stop looking to make those new connections.
I will take the advice of joining more RP LSs and combing through wiki! I usually just look through wiki after I find someone interesting to scope out their character, but randomly reading them... I have not done this! I'll give it a try! Do you just... click on random? Go down alphabetically...?
