As I have previously mentioned, I used to RP forum alot before coming to FFXIV and oh boy, there were a whole lot of NEET's that RPed wherever I went.
I used to be a member of a 6000+ person RP organization that routinely ran conventions every 3 months or so that I attended on a regular basis just to spend 3-5 days doing nothing but socializng with other people.
Well. Â And socializing, but that's another story....
I know that there are social RPers out there, but to my experience, the majority are on the internet as NEET's. Now that we have clarified that, I would digress as to avoid any further arguments.
