Well as someone from Gilgamesh who transferred to Balmung because I couldn't find any RP here is my assessment from the last month of being on Balmung.
Pros: RP at all hours in Uldah, well any of the main cities. Random RP fate events. Always a PvE group looking to do something. Lots of people, doesn't feel empty.
Cons: Haven't found an LS/FC yet, I have made 3 friends so far but we don't talk much. I did get 2 offers for an FC after posting on these forums but unsure of where I want my character to be. Tried to insert myself into some RP in Quicksand....failed horribly either due to my being a nub RP'er, or the fact that it felt like intruding on established stories/characters idk.
Conclusion: It was worth the 18$ for me since I had no one on Gilga to play with, but on the flip side I don't have anyone to play with on Balmung, I get to observe a ton of World RP, but most of the time I feel left out, either due to my own failings as a RP'er or with Balmung community already being established, idk only time will tell. While there are some folks on these forums that say Balmung is friendly and inviting I don't really get that vibe as a whole. Just my experience, you might experience something entirely different if you are more outgoing than I.
