I think there is always a bit of a blend between the two styles. No one is fully active, this isn't a D&D game where you can fully define everything. Every plot draws from and builds off of what other people are doing.
With my RP I tend to be active with small events which end up having a big impact. I feel like everyone loves to RP, but sometimes they just need an event to coalesce around. Of course it often makes everyone want to kill my character... but it's worth it ;D.
I'm going to try my hand at something a bit more substantial soon though. I have a plot in the works which will pit Ul'dah versus Limsa on a city versus city setting. I kind of have been hankering for a non heroes vs villains plot. It would be fun to do a plot where the ending is actually up in the air.
edit: Oh and I try to grab anyone I can for active things. I sometimes use a sultansworn role as kind of a questgiver. For example we wanted to do an IC dungeon the other day, but didn't have a reason to do one. "I got ordered to." seems to work pretty well from time to time.
