Hai hai Amy!
On Balmung one of the great OOC linkshells dedicated to EU players is:

"Europa" with plenty of people and activity to keep you busy!
Unfortunately I don't play much during those hours so i'm not sure what other groups to recommend or their level of activity ho ever I do have a few other things i'd like to share with you, [though i'm sure at this point everyone heard it enough to drive em' up a wall >_> ]

This wonderful welcome post provided by the RPC to all newcomers tells you a bit about the site and the people who fill it. If you read through and click on a few of the links you'll find the resources here at your disposal, from the Wiki to the Lantern [An IC publication.]
If you'd like to learn more about roleplaying on a general level and the Eorzean kind in particular Evas RP handbook found at:

Is a frankly amazing source of information. The spoiler tag at the top opens an index that lists they key topics. You might want to skim through the areas you already feel familiar with if you're strapped for time, and its no obligation, just a solid foundation.
But onto the communities! You already say the "Europa" listing above, but there are two more OOC linkshells i'd like to recommend. while they are mostly NA time zone people, the sheer number of them and the wonky-ness of many of our schedules should provide you with A little activity while you're still getting your foot in the door.

"Intermission" is a large community with roleplayers all of types and experience. If you want to get to know people before you meet their characters, just want to chat while fishing or want to keep up to date on Olympic scoring, Intermission is good place to be, heck even if you don't stay long term, many relationships have started here before moving on after they become more comfortable or refine what they'd like in their day-to-day.

"Balmungs Finest" is dedicated to PVE content. Need to farm Brayflox for the battlemage set? maybe do the Primals for you quest? want to get into a Crystal Tower raid? Balmungs Finest is great for people looking to group with people on Balmung first before resorting to the duty finder. Particularly handy for the lone DPS who doesn't want to be waiting through an age for the queue.
Now if I haven't bored you to tears i'd like to echo the others in saying that "we're here to help." questions, comments, and concerns can be voiced here.
Anywho, feel free to flag me down if you see me running about in game! though I might be a bit slow to respond during the next little while, I really want to try getting remote play on my Vita working
