I am a new player to FFXIV though I have been playing WoW for a long time mostly on RP servers. After searching for a while I found out that Balmung is the best server for RP in terms of both population and accessibility however for some reason the realm is blacked out whenever I try to create a new character.

So my question which other realms should I go for? RP is my favorite type of play style and I would really like it if you guys could help me out

Balmung is indeed the most populated RP server.  It is so populated it is even overpopulated and character creation and transfers to Balmung has been blocked until further notice.
Even before the complete lockdown it was almost impossible to create a new character on Balmung, except for about half a minute right after maintenance.

Of the RP servers you can actually get onto I'd say Mateus(NA) and Omega(EU) are the most populated and active.

Both have been partner's in the growing community here at HRC, with that said I would encourage you to head over to Mateus as Balmung is closed and see for yourself the great people that are over there. Now if your European, Omega has been marked as the European RP Center which may be a bit more 'Ping' friendly and I've heard some good things about that server too. So either way I think you can find your home about the two server's that are currently available. I would throw my own (Balmung) into that mix but with it being closed that is unfortunately not an option at this time.

Thank you so much for your reply!!
I created my character in Mateus for the very reason. Also, I was wondering which version is better, Steam or Retail?

I'm in the US and have a few characters on Mateus and I've pretty much accepted I'll never get onto Balmung so I'm looking to at least create a new character on a different type of hub.

Really sucks there aren't designated RP servers and I have to scour the net to find sub-par answers.

"There's some RP on Jenova"

"There might be some on Cactuar"

"I think Lich has some RP too"

etc
