Exactly! It's something I keep feeling or finding wherever I go. Honestly of late, unless it's with my old group, I never get a chance to RP. I am trying to dip my toes into the Wandering Roleplayers guild events, but all the negativity I've experienced in the past makes me wary and/or worried I don't 'fit in the niche'.

I recently returned to the game, and was eager to try and find some EU Roleplayers at the places I was used to them congregating, AKA : Bars, taverns, the like. Unfortunately, I would go in either in the evening, or late evenings, and every time I'd see no one. I would see people in guilds that do Roleplay, but when asked about it, they state they stick to Guild Hall or Instanced Roleplay only. I can't understand why the sudden shift from open RP where anyone and everyone could join, to this strange isolationist stance, as it makes it virtually impossible for new RP'ers that are eager to join in, like I was, to do so. Even my old RP group has gone to focus on doing Instanced RP only, and anytime suggestions of new people are made, they refuse to let them come, or get angry if a new person is inadvertently brought in. To make matters more difficult, many do discord RP in private servers too, making it nigh impossible to keep up with what they think are 'current events'. I am someone that enjoys Roleplaying actively, rather than assuming XX knows what is happening to another char even though Out of character I'd have no clue, or that XX finished a task ages ago but it was never conveyed or talked about being finished, and just left hanging. Maybe I'm weird, but I like details, and being informed, rather than relying on assumptions. What made people resort to this? Should I just give up on RP entirely or even just switch to NA, even if that makes it that I have to rely on weekends to be able to be available for RP?

My birthday was four days prior to today, and I decided to commemorate the occasion by ordering a cake from Insprd Creations (Visit www.facebook.com/pages/Insprd-Creations/165836930280183 to see more of their work) designed to look like Aurene. This is the final product. Thank you Arenanet for making such an amazing game!
