From what I've been told, Balmung is doing well and there's lots of RP around, particularly around the Quicksand. I'm not sure what sort of elitist/stand-offish posts you were seeing but I doubt it makes up their entire community.
As for Gilgamesh, there's definitely a community here as well, though much of the activity goes on around the housing districts (Goblet Ward 3 is where a lot of the RP houses are located) and sporadically in other parts of the game world.
We don't have a particular RP hub in the cities but there are many friendly and welcoming folks who communicate both ICly and OOCly across different free companies and linkshells. Quite a few RP events goes on every week that are open to any RPers who wish to stop by. Though, things have been kind slow the past week or so, as everyone is currently getting caught up in the Heavensward content.
So if you plan on sticking around a bit on Gilgamesh, don't be afraid to seek us out! We've got a server-specific community site as well, if you're interested in that. The website is: http://www.gilgamesh-rp.com
