Hello, this is my first post on this site, and finally I see something I want to mention.
I am a big RPer first off, so I understand the qualms that come with choosing where you want to play. In the beta I followed my GF into the Cactuar server as she had initially followed some friends into it. All big Rpers as well, and we still found RP.
,
For me it was easy, and will still be easy as I am following her. In Tera we joined the Celestial Hills server for RPing. It is easy as there is only one, but we also met many good Rpers.
Now that I'm done with what seems like pointless prologue I just want to say, while I hear people saying the choice is important, it will determine a lot, there is also the chance to just let your character 'be born' into whatever server they are and let things happen from there. Stories will be created along the way, decent back ground will be developed. Not everyone has every detail down pat and sometimes just letting the world mold it, instead of trying to be fully molded to the world helps a lot.
I found Rp in cactuar and even RPd the death of the 3rd phase with some people I had just met, or had little interaction with before, yet enjoyed 3 hours of just rping the end of the server in an area that was beautiful but way over leveled for us. But we made out way in and enjoyed it.
Balmung, Gilgamesh, both will be RP servers. If you are like me and don't want a hundred characters there is also the choice of really just picking and immersing yourself. Each will have different and very similar things. The people will be different and while one side can bring up awesome situations you are missing out on, you will have your own. Perspective will be different and what might seem great elsewhere might not have been great for you.
Some may find this immature, or too bold, or lazy. They will want full fledged structure ahead of time. But to be honest characters are forged in the fires of the world. There is no reason to doubt the heat of either flame.

P.S. I know this isn't a vote.
