The Grindstone hosts two weekly open world RP tournaments in Soot Creek bridge just outside of Ul'dah at Wed/Sat 10 PM EST. There are usually quite a few people hanging out there.
Otherwise, there's frequent open RP in taverns (most notably the Quicksand and Coffer & Coffin in Ul'dah, seen it in Limsa and Gridania too).
I don't really have any FC recs (at the moment, I don't have one), but I am putting together a fairly non-restrictive RP LS with an IC premise that can be summarized as "get sponsored, do mercenary work in exchange". Basically they can pay for your travel expenses and such (good if your character is seeking to do good for no pay) and in exchange you do jobs for them, like hunt monsters, collect pelts, what have you. I'm hoping to have scheduled IC stuff starting on the 26th, but until then we've been doing some random RP with each other, unrelated to the IC premise.
Here's the LS hall entry, if you're curious.
