Good on you, bud.
Again, can we keep the discussion on the pros and cons of the various cities and the RP that could be had there, rather than making snipes at the forum populace? It strikes me as unnecessarily mean at best and intentional baiting for flames at worst. Just like those who would like RP elsewhere than Ul'dah, if there's topics of character discussion beyond things like "favorite color" as you suggested, I would recommend making them yourself and inspire the deeper thoughts and discussion you'd like.
That all said, I have to ask - do the housing areas count for this sort of thing, too? Because I notice a lot of active RP areas are also in places like the Goblet and Mist. Some of it may be more insular due to FCs running FC-only RP, but there's also the tavern nights and other open events that are held at peoples' estates in the housing districts.
