Balmung, followed by Gilgamesh

Balmung

is almost always fullÂ
(and full of RP).Â
I've seen people get lucky around 3AM-6AM PST.Â
People try to track getting on here. http://ffxiv-roleplayers.com/showthread.php?tid=8957
Populated areas for walk-up RP are "Tavern" areas. If you want to see the densest population, try the Quicksand, in Ul'dah.
RP is very Open-World, but there are Guild (called Free Companies here) and Linkshells (chat groups) too

I'm not so sure about Gilgamesh. I'm heard it's more Free Company-centric, and the open-world isn't as available.

You can technically RP right away! HOWEVER! You're stuck in the city you start in until lv15 story quest. I'd recommend getting at least that far, since you'll unlock the airship/travel and can see more of the game.Â

There are 3 main ways to level in this game. You'll have to do a mix of them on your first class/job by playing through the Main Story Quest (MSQ for short)

Quests - Main Story, Sidequests, Levequests (instanced quests just for you)
FATEs - random map battles. You can simply run into them to engage
Dungeons

There is a free trial available too! However it has some chat restrictions and trade restrictions to prevent RMT. If you want to get a general feel, I'd try to make a trial account, explore Ul'dah, and check out a few of the events. I believe it lasts two weeks? It caps at lv20, but you can explore multiple classes by then, and the full world map (although some areas would be very dangerous).
