You know what's a good way to create a hub?
By consistently and reliably being somewhere. By making sure people know you're there. By getting a group and just grinding that shit out every. Single. Day.
You know how the Quicksand got so busy? Because people were there. Aya waitressed. Warren and Crofte (edit - crofte, right? aghaghagh why am I so bad at names) stood at their pillars. For awhile the brass blade peeps were rping their thang, and they'd swing through. People were actively rping in Ul'dah, and they consistently stopped into the Quicksand. Their contacts would come in to rp with them. Word spread, and people came to expect that there would be rp in the Quicksand, and so it became a self-fulfilling prophesy.
You want a hub elsewhere? Do the same thing. Even when it feels dry and stale, even if you don't feel like it, you gotta have people there on the reg. It also helps if it's a place where lower level characters can get to without having to travel a huge distance, but hey, depends on what you wanna build and where.
But if you want my unsolicited advice, don't come to the community asking someone, anyone to make it a reality. Build it. Nothing is stopping you, man. Sky is the limit.
Just be prepared for the long haul.
