I agree with Zakizo to an extent. Everyone was a 'new player' at one point or another; everyone had to go through the ringer.
A tip: Step out of your comfort zone and create a character that's aggressive/ outgoing. That's the beauty of roleplaying. You can be anything you want to be (within lore's guidelines). Making an introverted, quiet character was not your best move when starting off in a new environment with no connections. Have that memorable, well-played personality shine through without depending on another person.
Tip #2: Don't randomly come out the woodwork, and complain about not "getting RP" on the game. Yes, it's frustrating, but there's a more appropriate way of going about it. I was sitting around in Cellsvich, and you got all huffy with two completely, unrelated people, like we can magically resolve the issue. Maybe if you asked for some advice, and dare I say it, ask for RP, then you may have received a better reception. All you did was leave a negative impression.
There is one point I agree with, in all of this: too much focus on PvP. Something that I can write a freaking novel on. But, I won't. Instead, I try to find ways to create my own storylines, or produce interesting characters. Do what I can within my own power.
Tl;dr Don't sit in a chair and not say shit, expecting for RP to be handed to you on a silver platter. Work for those character interactions.
