It's important to note that a server with a lower population but a higher ratio of RPers to normal players would be a lot more welcoming to new people when they come, too, because they're a lot more likely to run into random RPers who are happy to show them the ropes. Gilgamesh isn't going to have that advantage - even if they can make a character on there the chances that any given person they run into will be an RPer are very low. And while I don't personally consider trolls a problem, fear of trolls will be - it'll make people a lot more wary about the kind of open RP that'll help people get involved and feel included and encourage people to keep their playing to linkshells/partychats/the like.
Even if we're all on the same server, groups keeping to themselves for fear of trolls will fragment the community more than being on different servers.
I know you're trying to be nice here but lots of people that have had a chance to play on Gilgamesh, have said that when they were able to play they had very little problems with running into trolls and most of us have actually "run into" other roleplayers quite frequently. I just want to clear that up because if this thread shouldn't be about making a new community but an alternative place to play while the servers are capped. Unless the RPC wants to upheave 100+ members in the Gilgamesh OOC Linkshell, I'm not sure they'll feel very good about having a third server added to their roster.
With the OOC Linkshell for Gilgamesh (Balmung has one as well) it sort of casts aside the fear of not finding people to roleplay with, not being able to find groups or people to show you what's what in my mind at least. There will be plenty of people there and ready to help anyone if they just ask.
Though you are right, if you go to a lower population server you may see less congestion but I wouldn't be able to say if it would be 'easier' to find people to RP with or not. Like I said before, GW2's larger server Jade Quarry locked out people for several days at Launch not even early release, so give it a few days, or wait until release to be so proactive about something like this.
If it's still an issue then maybe bring it up.
