Man. I had the opposite experience from you.
The Balmung playerbase was pretty open, up front, and willing to engage in walk-up RP with a player who had no experience with the game as a whole, period.
That said: Go fishing in the "Making connections" board, check out the FC listings, and in general post and be part of the community and you'll start finding events, gatherings, and people who gravitate to when you log on, regardless of the amount of time you have to invest in the game (My ability to be online varies wildly depending on my social engagements of the week, ranging from full hermit mode to "Oh god why did I choose to have a whirlwind week")
Now here's the flipside of it:
Finding that RP IS completely your responsibility.  No one is obligated to bring it to you, in any fashion.  Not here, not on the server.  There are nice people who will help, but you have to ask, you have to engage, and you can't just wait and assume people will reach out.  It's tough, but it's worth it:  Be proactive, go looking for it, get involved, jump in, and understand not everything will work first time.Â
You'll be fine.
