I’d recommend going to public events. Especially the reoccurring ones.
Since 2009, Story Circle has been held in Bloodhoof Village every Sunday @6 ST (minus some major holidays) and has been a stepping stone for many new and shy role players. It is actually the second rp event I attended way back in 2012 and how I found my first rp guild.
Going off of how important stories are to Tauren and others, everyone is invited to come and listen or even tell a story themselves. And it isn’t just stories. Sometimes people read poems or play songs. This of course is done IC.
