[Autumn]

To expand a bit on my previous statement, so that its crystal clear, the existence of people sitting around in their own social groups chatting, or roleplaying in houses does not currently subtract from the lack of roleplay I find being out in the public eye, as most people end up being very receptive to a simple hello or are capable of holding a conversation even if its meaningless square boasting or wall sitting at the arena, I could see why people wouldn't find that quite as engaging either so those people aren't even a demographic worth preaching to when it comes to areas such as the Badlands Arena or Cellsvich. Simply put some people just don't like those areas and that's completely fine, there are more than enough people to engage with who are.

Groups (More necessarily should not be called cliques as those do exist but not as people currently state they do) are not currently taking away from active roleplay given generally where people roleplay ends up being where who is active at the time, which rides on the coat tails of the audience is more assertive with where they roleplay. Which usually ends up in those bar areas or recreational facilities end up being.

More specifically some people end up going to an excruciating degree to find a reason as to why their character wouldn't be at a location instead of why they would be there, to a fault I might add since I do that heavily myself and it ended up impacting me greatly as an individual, and I still do as there's no reason why my teenaged mechanation would enter a bar, there's no reason why my Law's End gang member would enter a trading company and so forth.

One message I would like to send forth to more people that ended up helping me a lot in actually finding more roleplay is just to be a lot more assertive with yourself potentially, and try to limit how many characters you'd like to play, more people are willing to interact with you given some form of meaningful investment to be made, trying to take a bit more initiative is how I mingled with a few more people.
