Greetings and welcome to the RPC Meenah,
I hope you've had the chance to poke around a bit. While I didn't spend much time in SWTOR, I can't think of a comparable community thats as centralized. Though that could have been my own lack of investment and I was involved fairly early.. but any~who~! I have a few links for you that will hopefully be of some use. As Faye said, if you have any questions feel free to ask! Please make sure to take your time if you do feel a bit hesitant, twelve knows I took an age to wade into the deep end.

Is a good starting off post to read through. A fairly generic "Welcome" it outlines a few of the features here at the RPC, the wiki, the Lantern, the linkshell hall, as well as listing a few of the support staff at the bottom of the post.
If you'd like to brush up on some RP, or read about some Hydaelyn specific scenarios there are few better guides out there than this roleplaying handbook from EVA

It is quite comprehensive, and while you might be familiar with a lot of the concepts put forward I think an effort has been made to lay things out as clearly and openly as possible providing information for people to work with, instead of picking something people "should" be doing.
As far as communities.. I very much understand the desire to find a core group of people to interact with, particularly as you bounce ideas off of and really "grow" your knowledge and character. How ever I think there is some merit in looking into a few of the larger communities, not that you have to dive right in, but i'll go into that-

"Intermission" is a good place to get an idea of who might be where and what they might be up to. Given a bit of initiative i'm sure you'd be more than able to find people to strike up conversation with here about all manner of things from what dyes look flattering on the face mask plate helms [I favor kobold brown] to pretty much anything... Or you can lurk silently, as many do and just keep it as a sort of "RSS" feed of goings on.

"Balmungs Finest" is a PVE oriented group, if you like to do dungeons, or even if you only want to do them when you need to, this is a handy group. BF focuses on getting people of Balmung together before resorting to PUGs, you'll find lots of different players here, some like me are farming a dungeon for exp or gear and will do a few runs. Others want a top tier healer for some Coil.
I hope that helps give you an idea of whats out there. As always, feel free to jump into the forums and get to know people, maybe throw up a wiki page with some ideas. Drop me a line if you have any questions and all that,
Good luck in Eorzea!
