on the finding friends and guilds side, for me playing music made people automatically come to me, especially ppl from the cmaj guild, which in turn attracts more people. I'd end up striking conversations or goofing around with them, and have made lots of ingame friends with it. divinity's reach at the waypoint with the bank&tp is the best place to socialize, meet new people, and sometimes come across funny situations. I'm now a member of cmaj and 2 other guilds which i all met in the span of 1 year. Joined them in playing music, achievement hunting, fashion contests, map breaking and much more. You don't need an instrument by the way, just join in on the fun with people, roleplay a bit if you're into that, and have fun :) believe me you can't go wrong with chilling at DR, I'm there often if you ever wanna hang out.
