Anyone who has spent some time in those RP communities can likely attest to people being entrenched and not always overly welcoming to anyone who didn't want to get with the 'established' program and fall in line or just anyone who was new.
To jump in on this, I have to say TERA was the worst, most exclusionary RP community I have EVER EVER come across. We started the game a few months after it launched, there weren't many of us willing to try it, but we had a stable guild of ten or so people. Trying to get ANYONE in the established community to RP with us wa like trying to pull teeth. It was a shame too, I met a really nice RPer in the field who told me where the Tavern RP was and then walked me to it and I was all "Wow, what a great start!"
NOPE.
Most of the time, if you spoke, even if you spoke DIRECTLY TO THEM, they would flat out ignore you in favor of someone they knew already. For real.
If FFXIV's Balmung server is even 10percent better than Celestial Hills than this is a good place to be. Holy cow, it was bad.

As an aside I'm considering rolling an alt on Gilgamesh, but would any FC have me knowing it was an alt and that I have a guild of my own to run so I wouldn't be on like alllll the time? [But I would be on, as I don't work so I got time
