I feel like as time goes on we're starting to see less and less consistent, passive RP in the activity hubs and more and more afk standing or running around in circles - I feel like every time I try to RP with strangers they're either totally afk or there's just no interest at all. I've always experienced the opposite with post-map transitions where RP seems to be at its peak, but with Braevos it still feels like we're at the end of last map when RP momentum was at its lowest. Might be really anecdotal and I could just be not trying hard enough, but has anyone else experienced this?

The experience I've had in Aevos is similar to that which I faced in Almaris. Essentially, you have to throw spaghetti at a wall and see which noodles stick. Oftentimes, my best RP experiences are taken from just wandering into a random town or event and improving based on how my character should act, and building motivation from there. It's how I've gotten into most RP circles I'm still active in.
If it doesn't stick, it isn't meant to be, and you leave. Not every plotline or scheme works out, it's just a matter of trying over and over again until you start having fun. -
It is one of the numerous reasons that my activity has dwindled. I’ve found better Roleplay and activity on servers with less then 1/10 of the players lotc gets on both at peak times and during quieter periods. Rp is largely divided on LOTC and I feel like by the time I’ve arrived in an RP hub, I’ve wasted time I could have spent RPing elsewhere without spending 10 minutes running mechanically to somewhere that may or may not have any Roleplay occurring.
