Welcome, old friend!
I roleplay very casually nowadays, but if you're able to put even a modest amount of time into roleplaying here, you'll easily find some friendly folk that'll converse with you. I'm afraid I don't know full well what most people here do, but I spend my time with a small group of friends I've known for a few years and we have weekly events in our own phase.
If you need any help, let me know! Feel free to go through the quick tutorial that Epsilon established some few months ago as well, it's pretty neat.
