Ul'dah may be interesting but ultimately it's popular because it is. To state something potentially controversial...the average role-player isn't all that great at taking the initiative and so in MMO's we end up with places like Divinity's Reach, Silvermoon and Stormwind becoming the main 'to go' places for random role-play.
Luckily there's role-play to be found elsewhere...albeit to a lesser extent. Ishgard in particular seems to have quite a bit of activity which is pretty great.
