Shout and say are a spatial channels. It is bad manners to be out of character in the spatial channels.
You can ask for a group in character very easily.
Are you a noble Paladin?
Would anyone join me in slaying the foul undead?
Are you a savage Orc?
Gnonk need buddies for bashen
Now, if you're too shy to do it like that in shout, then the /ooc channel will get the job done too.
The whole point of shout being in character and /ooc being out of character is that people can turn /ooc off and still have a global chat channel.

After reading this gem, my advice is to reroll on a non-RP server. If you do it tonight, you'll still have a head start on the people who didn't preorder.
