Like, for example, let's pretend that I think it would be interesting for Haii (my paladin lalafell) to meet Bob. Sure, I could hang around the Quicksand and hope that we cross paths organically... or I could talk with Bob's player briefly and work out a meeting that involved Bob being cornered by some raptors in the Shroud, with Haii running in to save him (or vice versa, to be fair.) Stuff like that?
I think most players are pretty amenable to that. If you see a character that you think would be interesting to set up a scene with, you can always drop them a PM or tell and work something out. I know I've done this quite a bit in the context of IC dungeons, which provide a convenient reason for 4 people to meet up somewhere ("The Maelstrom asks you all independently to investigate this ancient ruin, and...").
This! If you have a character who you think would be interesting for yours to meet, you can message the person and almost everyone will agree to set up some way for your characters to "bump" into each other, be it something as simple as happening to be at the Quicksand at the same time, or something more elaborate.
