It was all very political and Game of Thrones-y (not that I didn't enjoy it, I really did), and almost required you to have a direct connection to Ishgard, so only a particular niche of player would naturally be drawn to it. Doma seems to have the potential for being slightly more inclusive.
Another reason is that before you can even set foot in Ishgard itself a player need to go through the entire 2.x MSQ. This prevents lowbie characters from entering the place, and thus everyone is reluctant to place any RP-events in Ishgard since it would exclude all those characters from joining.
Result: Not much RP in Ishgard. (That it is a quite isolationist place IC does help.)
All of this. I didn't even unlock it til half way through the year, because I'm super slow at questing - and even after I had done so earlier, I could scarcely find reasons for my character to go to a city where he was pretty explicitly not wanted (being xaela and not a member of a grand company).
TBH we'll have to see how Kugane plays out in the MSQ, because we know the wider nation has an isolationist stance - it may end up being the same sort of deal politics-wise, but for a different demographic...
PLEASE DON'T GET ME WRONG I am super excited for the inclusion of these areas, I'm just trying to think about the scope of possibilities xD
