I'm confused, you want new people to enter for more RP, but you refuse to venture into the realm of the RP that's already on the plate? How exactly are new people gonna change this? Those people in the Quicksand might just be the salvation for your 'FC community' but you're unwilling to try and set up with them? Would this not be the same if new people come in? I'm sorry, but I lack any sympathy for the RPers who cry out for new people yet refuse to reach out to the others already there and don't set up Linkshells instead of FC hopping.

If RP really did die out, I would be incredibly happy as I could actually go to the events and run through Ul'dah without having a cringe fest in my chat log, but at the same time I despise those willing to let a community die without even trying to spread out and try with the thousands of strangers still there. The lack of new players is not the problem, your strict ruling to yourself is the problem.
