As a whole, Balmung offers a wide range of options for people interested in the 'full game experience.'
((I cannot speak for Gilgamesh, as I am a Balmungian))
I, for one, am a Hard core RPer presently in one of the top 5-7 raiding guilds on the server. (we vary in standings around that range). I am also one of the three leaders of a small Hard core RP guild. But several within my raiding guild state they are RPers- or have RPed in the past... or are interested in it. No one in it has been heard to down RPers at all in FC chat... which is impressive to me.
Now, I am not 'in deep' with the overall RP community of Balmung. I am much more of a 'shoot from the hip, situational RPer with storyline participation/development' type and prefer small groups to large mobs... so cannot speak to the quality of that, but I can assure you, there is no lacking of quantity of RP on Balmung. And... if one was to base the RP Quality on the forum postings and story hooks posted here, I'd say Balmung rocks that too.
Of those RPers I've met here, most have been really awesome folks.
Of those non-Rpers I've met IG, most seem to be pretty tolerant of RPers overall. Early on in the game, seemed to be a LOT more trolls and griefers. I... just haven't encountered many in a long, long time now. I am pretty constantly hearing RP going on in spacial in the settlements, towns, cities... and even out in the world. Not all the RP is confined to the Quicksand or housing areas... and I hear there has also been a RP take over of the tavern on the Wolf pier (for PvP).
Many of the guild and personal houses have been made to be RP hubs as well.
And it seems most RPers are very welcoming to people 'coming up to RP with them' when they are RPing.
So... RP wise, you should be able to find some.
Endgame, we have that too... Lots of groups looking for X primal runs, Coils, and so on.
Vibrant, active Hunting Linkshell to help you get those Marks.
LOTS of Free Companies hunting for new members of all sorts.
People seem helpful to new folks to the game.
Not sure what else to say...
Just this:
Make a toon on both Gilga and Balmung... and see which one you mesh best with.
Either way, you can find connections here on the RPG.
Good luck!
