Talibah already posted a thread, titled LFRP, I just wanted to elaborate a little bit more. In response to that, I've made a new thread that hopefully gets some more notice.

Not everyone is on the forums, can see who's out and about in the roleplay world, or has addons to help flag yourself for walk-up RP.
To help battle this issue, I've come up with a channel made specifically for finding roleplay while out and about, or inviting others to events.
As an example, say that you're wanting some RP, but your character may or may not want or need to be in a major city or any of the roleplay "hot spots". Perhaps you're out in Booty Bay enjoying the sunset, and you'd like a run-in at the local tavern for a round of drinks and good conversation. You can hit up this channel with a basic idea of what you're looking for and what you have to offer. (Think of it as trade chat for roleplayers!)
Off-duty paladin LF tavern RP in Booty Bay.
Short, simple, and others that see your post might switch characters to one more suited to that locale, and there you have it!
The channel itself is NOT in-character, so there's no need to treat it as such. Some suggestions I have is not to spam out the channel so we don't miss any posts from interested players. We do have RPchatter channels on both sides that I believe are more of a watering hole type thing where you can, as the name implies, chat. Furthermore, this channel should not be used to elicit certain activities from other players, such as ERP, as this is a violation of the terms of use.
The more people we have in this channel, the more opportunities for you to make more RP contacts! I have high hopes for this idea, and encourage those of us who need more contacts to look into it. The channel is named LFRP, so simply /join LFRP to get started. This channel exists on both Horde and Alliance. See you in game!
