I'm all for this. It's actually kind of annoying when a total newbie shows on a game up doing something over the top, that usually doesn't quite fit the mud (either the world and lore or the preferred playing style), essentially begging for attention. You don't start a mud at level 100 with a billion hit points. Likewise, you don't start in the roleplay scene as a dominating force that draws everyone who sees you to interact with you in a meaningful fashion.

When you find a game you like (even if the players don't rush to bend over backward to include you), stick around and grow slowly. Be present in scenes and contribute however you can, and if it doesn't get you instant results, keep at it for a few weeks. Let the playerbase see that you're still there day after day, spend some time interacting one on one or in smaller group settings to slowly grow your list of contacts, be seen working, and in a few weeks, you'll be fine.
