I'm all for being inclusive and friendly, but I have to disagree with and question a number of things that have been said here. We've all got our own play styles and can choose to play with those whom we like playing with. If someone is running around doing no RP, or RPing in some way I find very annoying, then IMO it's perfectly okay to choose not to play with that person.
Now, I don't know which player you're talking about here, but I've found Thay (ironically) to be a very friendly, welcoming place to play. If this player isn't finding it to be that way, maybe they need to ask themselves what they can change to make that happen. Perhaps the player isn't approaching other players in a way that they like. Or perhaps there's an RP reason they're being excluded.
I'm not sure what "core value" of the server you think is being violated. I know one of the basic things is to go ahead and play in your own style, but that can mean feeling isolated on this RP-heavy server if you're a pure hack-and-slash player or powergamer who doesn't RP.
To be clear, I'm not saying "too bad" to this player. I'm saying do some self-examination or some talking with other players and see if the situation can be changed.

Since we don't know who the player is (or at least I don't) we can't really initiate a conversation from our side.

I disagree. I don't know if they're actually being excluded or only feel excluded, but either way they're not having fun and they want to have fun. But everyone is here for fun, so if I find playing with certain player to be not-fun, I will limit my interactions with that person, and I wouldn't ask any other player to change their play style or have not-fun on the server simply to allow someone else to have fun in their own way.
