I do share in your desire to see bigger crowds spaced out throughout Eorzea sometimes. But as some have said in other threads, a lot of people don't like those big groups because chat spam and emotes get too crazy to follow. But there is plenty of smaller RP going on.
I've been grinding out an alt for the last month or so to finish her before SB and I see RP everywhere in the world. This includes zones level 20-50+ now and it's been really entertaining.
It may not be a huge group of 30+ people, but I see small groups in many of the quest hubs and even sitting out by some lakes fishing, chatting in /say with public emotes. So RP is absolutely out in the middle of the world. The Quicksand is self run basically, and every level player can reach it just about so it'll always be popular.
My suggestion would be to wait for SB to worry about it much. At that point, so many people will be out of the "usual spots" and in the new world. At that time, I can only suggest you find some new place that you think would be an amazing new RP hub, and maybe start dedicating your time to be there and also advertise something for it. If it's a bar or tavern, you can probably find some folks to help out with bartending and serving at least until it gets off the ground.
It's really the only way something new will pop up as others have said. It takes time and effort to establish anything that'll last long term.
