I find it more and more difficult to get back into LOTC, nothing much happening, no characters much these days.. It all seems empty, with little wieght to RP these days.
There's various events happening here and there, usually chaos at the Standing Inn. There's quite a few characters and I'm always thrown into RP on Renn. Depending on what you're character is pursuing... You should consider joining a few guilds or something :D. Those are extremely good for RP! :)
There is some rp, you just gotta search for it really, really hard and then run out of time before you start. The best way to roll is to find an rp buddy, form a dependable clique, and just roll with it. I'm afraid that's how it is these days.
