All in all, you have to remember: If a group of people start Roleplaying together - Its going to form into a clique. It is up to the group itself if it wants others to be inside. From what I've seen, however, very seldom does this happen. They usually form around one "popular" character, which is then treated like a god and is held more important than the rest, whether it be in answering questions, or the inclusion of actual Roleplay.
Clique's -will- form, no matter where you go. It's how you deal and associate with these cliques that really dictates whether you'll be outcasted by them, or included with them. You can deal with them, or complain about them. Both yield good and bad results. Sometimes people just need to hear the truth on what they are doing, from the outside looking in. Whether or not your one of those people, the eyes need to be opened to the rest of everybody else if all else fails. If you feel like your being ignored or not included, then say something. If you feel like your group is doing this to someone else, then say something. It's easy really: Treat others the way you want to be treated.
In conclusion, as far as which server to join, just ask your friends or family, or friends of family what their thoughts are on the matter. Both servers have an opportunity, no matter what everyone says. Both will have amazing Roleplay, and both will have griefers. It's an MMO. It doesnt matter where you go, you will be singled out, in a good or bad way.Â
Personally, Balmung for me, but thats just because thats where my FFXIV roots started.
