Hello. Where to meet people?

[Dopedragn]

I'm sure this is the most frequent question, but seriously. Other than the few "starters" areas, I can't find people to talk to. And the people I do meet seem a little rude and unapproachable. 

 

Maybe I'm just weird but considering this is a virtual world I am more intimidated to speak with people in-game than I am in the real world! ahaha :matte-motes-sunglasses-1:

There are many ways to meet new people InWorld, your best bet would be to try wandering around and seeing what interests you! Try not to rely on "Chat Hotspots" or "Newbie" areas too much, sometimes it can be tough to meet people even though they claim to be a friendly enviroment. It can be difficult to make friends or start conversations if there isn't a common ground to agree on, this is as true in SL as it is in the real world. You would not just walk into a coffee shop expecting to talk to everyone and make friends, however if you are a Star Wars fan and attend a Star Wars gathering or convention it is much more likely you will connect with the people around you....

As a jumping off point, think about what kind of things you like to do or enjoy, it will be easier to find residents with similar interests to you this way. Some good places to start thinking:

 

• Music : The Club and Music scene in SL is always popping off no mater what you are into. Rock and Roll, Electronic, R&B, Country, just about any genre you can think of will have its share of Locations, DJ's and regular events. Often times Hosts will incorporate fun things into events like Costume Contests and Prizes!! 
• Games : Though some folks might consider SL itself a game, there exists MANY games within the SL grid! Some are very complex, with Combat Systems and Damage Meters that might be familiar to people who have played MMO's, as well as very simple "games" like Fishing, Card Games or Hunts! 
• RolePlay : There are many groups and sims ingame that focus on creating a story or "Playing the Role" of another character with your avatar! RP can be a great way to meet people and interact regularly. Themes range anything from Science Fiction and Fantasy to contemporary Suburban Life! 

I am sure other residents might be able to steer your more directly, or provide some links/landmarks to get you started, but hopefully this gets the ball rolling for you!
