Hey there.
Welcome to the RPC.
While we are site/resource primarily geared towards RPing in FFXIV, there's a lot of lore and content discussion that goes on too.
That said, Balmung is the largest server and the one most people RP on. There are smaller communities on Gilgamesh, Jenova, Siren and others. You can find the Linkshells (chat groups) and Free Companies (basically guilds) that we know are active on the site. (The forum listings are pruned every 60 days / 2 months).
If you intend to RP, you'll probably want to make a character on another server and transfer over. Depending on your subscription type, you can transfer up to 8 characters from one server to another for a single $18 fee. Square Enix will say you can't transfer to closed servers, but it's been being done for months now.
As far as lore goes, most of the posts here are things that have been collected since FFXIV 1.0 launched. Most of it is information that can be found in-game, touched up with Dev and Lore panels and recently, the FFXIV Lore book, Encyclopedia Eorzea.
With any luck, Sounsyy will pop in with some of the good starter links for basic info on races, classes, etc. If you've got any specific questions feel free to ask here or open a thread. I do heavily recommend searching first though, as there's quite a bit of content that's been hashed out before!
