I have to agree with everyone else. Â Balmung is the place to be if RP is your primary thing. Â That said, I have found it a little challenging to enjoy the lower level dungeon content because very few players at those level are truly new. Â Most are leveling an alt and have perhaps done those dungeons several times before. Â Your PUG mates may not want to wait for you to watch the elaborate and time consuming cut scenes - some of which contain important plot points for your character.
This has been partly resolved since joining an FC. Â Fellow FC members that choose to run a new dungeon with me are far more likely to allow me to set the pace, run the map, and watch the cutscenes. Â They are also far more likely to tolerate me screwing up. Â In return, I pass on the drops and then I run the dungeon later on my own with a PUG to try to get the drops (if there's anything I want).
The FC to which I belong, the Harbingers of Dawn, are almost always doing something, has someone willing to RP, and offers a number of events that invite natural and immersive RP. Â As they are well established, it can be a bit daunting to try to weave yourself into the primary plot of the FC, but the benefits are worth the awkwardness, imo.
