I suppose on a more serious note, the population density in NY makes it a sort of a haven for people who are actually actively looking for RP. The problem is carving your way down past the lulwut to get to the juicy nuggets of RP available. The problem is, unless you go out and look for it yourself, the only RP you're going to find is "Pirates BB are invade Manhattan! lololol"
Joining established factions like LPI, LSF, USI, DSE, and others based in the area can help to a degree, of course.. but stick around long enough, and the lulz will find you.
