I'm the kind of guy who, in a room full of people I don't know, sits in a corner and hopes someone will come up and talk to me. As a newbie, I'm finding it kind of lonely here, sort of a massively multi-player game where everyone is playing their own solo game. I tried looking at the projects, but, at least where I've looked, it appears you need to be fairly advanced in the game to be able to contribute anything. I've acquired a couple of friends, but they are all much higher level than me, so we don't have much in common as far as our goals in the game.
I'd like to meet other newbies to keep in contact with as we explore the world and learn what's out there. It would be nice if there were a place where we could gather and find one another; also nice if there were some quests that needed two or three people working together to accomplish them so new friends go do something together. Maybe these exist and I just don't know about them yet.
If, like me, you're not a natural social mixer, but you've found new friends and developed a Glitch social network, how did you go about it? If, like me, you're a somewhat isolated newbie, get in touch, and let's be friends!
