I had that same problem when I started on venus. What I did was make the best impression I could on any party. That way you may make friends your level and actually be able to organise a party.
Remeber be funny be witty be off the wall and fill your friend list up with warriors, wizards, clerics, bards. It works trust me now I have people private messageing me everytime I log in asking where the partys at.
