I'm not gonna chime in to say much, but I do think that I agree with Trexmaster in that telling people to just 'find RP' is very disingenuous and there are better solutions, for instance I believe it is more of an obligation to think of what is important to the environment more than what is fitting to your character at that time, sure if you're engaged in roleplay with someone else then yeah, by all means continue at that. 

But mostly what I speak of is that it falls to veteran players to reach out to newer players and help establish that link, as getting over that hurdle is simply daunting, and at least knowing 1 person in a whole crowd of people establishes your presence in an area and may even branch out into further links.

For example, a party in DnD might find themselves obtaining a new member to the party midway through the campaign and in that party of isolated loners, at least one person needs to reach out and say hi, find any reason at all to establish that connection, for it is important to the roleplay environment despite any OOC debates about whether your character might do this or not.

As for everyone else's opinions in the thread, please do try to draw sense from them, though SL2's community is obviously very 'for SL2', many of the people here do mean well as well, roleplay is a community that we need to partake and co-operate along with.
