Hai hai KB~
Welcome to the RPC and Balmung! I hope your transfer went well, there are a few people who have come over from different servers in the last month and hopefully like them you'll find yourself in the swing of things before too long. On that topic i've got a few links i'd like to share with you. The first two are on the RPC at large and Roleplay, the second are some OOC communities I think might interest you.

This generic welcome post outlines a few of the key features here at the RPC, the wiki, calendar, lantern ect. As well as listing some key community individuals at the bottom of the post. [Though Kylin is stepping down as Admin and FreelanceWizard is stepping forward to carry the mantel.]
If you'd like to familiarize yourself with some RP information that you might find more tailored to a MMO setting, or if you'd just like to brush up on your knowledge of the different kinds out there few resources cover the topic as completely as the following Roleplay Handbook by Eva

Using the index in the "spoilers" to skip down to the areas that interest you should help break it down into more digestible chunks if you're just looking to confirm some of your own ideas or get a second opinion.
But onto the communities! I'm not a big fan of recommending IC groups because I feel that you know what you want better than anyone else so a "just go check out the linkshell hall" might serve you best, many of the groups are open for questions in game or on the posting page (though it may take them a while to get back to you.) Anyways, I do have some OOC groups i'd like to recommend.

"Intermission" is a chat channel spanning Roleplayers of all types across the realm. If you'd like to listen in on what people are talking about, or throw some random questions out to see how people feel, Intermission is a great place to do it. Though I would warn you that things can get pretty rambunctious.

"Balmungs finest" is a OOC linkshell dedicated to group content. If you've ever waited in the queue for half an hour or got stuck on Aurum Vale because everyone eats the morbol Fruit as soon as they get one stack of the debuff this might be the place for you. Building connections through dungeons, Primals and raids of all sorts.
If I haven't bored you yet I think that its a great idea that you're hoping into the forums, there are plenty of discussions happening that could be of interest to you, and as always if you have any questions or concerns please feel free to voice them there are many people here that are willing to give an opinion on pretty much anything.
Best of luck in Eorzea, and flag me down if you ever see me running about
