A couple things you can try:
1. Roll a character on each server. Coming from Balmung, I see a fair amount of open world RP and events, but neither server is an 'official' RP server, and it may come down to which server you have the best luck on. Exploring both may open up more opportunities.
2. Join an OOC LFRP LS. Both servers have them, and can be effective ways of meeting others in your communities.
3. Consider starting small. Events are nice, and can whet your appetite, but can be large-scale and hard to find an in, or leave new rpers feeling frustrated as they don't know who to direct their questions to. Conversely, joining an RP LS or FC gives you a smaller group to try and learn the ropes from, with more attentive help in getting your questions answered. You may also try to find an in game mentor. There are lots of friendly folks spread out across both servers.
4. Utilize these forums. The RP discussion section is a great place to have your questions answered. The more specific your inquiry the better, but broad questions can lead to great discussions too! Just remember no on's opinion is better than anyone else's; there are as many different tastes and valid views as there are silver-haired miqo'te in this game (which is to say, a lot), so take everything with a grain of salt , and apply what works best for you!
5. Dabbling in forum rp can certainly help build your knowledge!
6. (And most importantly) Have fun! Don't be afraid to launch yourself into it, or to make mistakes! All of us have at one point, and those who get mad at someone else over RP needs to consider cutting back on the caffeine a little bit. Good luck!
