Hey there Elyscia! I just recently got back into RP. It has been very slow-going. I lurked this site for nearly two months and then I lurked Balmung for weeks. I have been SO SO SO shy about approaching people for RP. However, things have been slowly coming together.
Just like Merri said, the trick is taking baby steps out into the open. Putting yourself out there. For instance, I searched out RPers that I found on this forum and added them to my friends list (still searching for some). It was as simple as sending an OOC (out of character) tell to them that said "hello, can I add you?". Then I asked to join a Link Shell called Intermission. There are many other Link Shells out there too. Today I went to my first RP event which is hosted by the Grindstone Free Company. It was the Wednesday training matches. I highly recommend their events because you get to watch a lot of RP and there is no pressure to be constantly entertaining or chatty because the matches are the center of attention. Just like real life, an event gives people something to talk about. There are many other events that occur too.
I did more RP today than I have done in the last two weeks. So everything is coming together for me. If I can do it, so can you.
I'd like to find you in-game and practice RP with you one of these days if you are interested. My character is Kiht Jakkya. Send me a tell and I will add you to my friends list. Or if it's ok with you, I can find you and send you the tell. No pressure, this is just an offer.
I welcome you to this site
Hopefully, one of the most helpful Elzen in the world will be along to spam you with all sorts of goody links.
