Yes I have... both here and in FFXI. In fact, it was the later where I met my boyfriend Jing.

I notice Bunnchu you're on Balmung incidentally, Balmung is the most populated NA server as well as the unofficial server for those who like to role-play, RPing being a very good way to 'break the ice' so to speak, in that many RPers do what are called 'walk ups' where you're welcome to go up to them and start talking in character and see where the conversation takes you. RPing can often be that initial contact that is needed just to meet someone and from there you can start talking out of character about other things.

Also if you can't find a FC or linkshell that wants you, you would be more than welcome in the reasonably small FC and linkshell my bf and I run. But it's entirely up to you.
