While Balmung and Gilgamesh are probably the biggest servers, as linked by Virella, we do have a couple smaller-scale ones that are working to grow. I know Siren and Jenova are the two that come to mind for me.
I'm not sure how updated it is, but Siren's got a website to help with coordination here: http://sirenrp.enjin.com/
It's worth giving a try if you're looking for a little bit of RP while deciding if FFXIV is the type of game you'll be interested in! The smaller servers are typically open to new characters, so a quick peek should be doable, unlike Balmung.
Otherwise, there's the RPC too! While the members on this site are mostly Balmung players (but not all), the in-character forums are a good way to get started in RP as well. Especially if you're in the process of fleshing out characters. A fair amount of the people I met happened through forum posts before anything in-game happened.
If you've got any questions on the site, wiki, or other resources, feel free to ask here or poke me anytime. I can also help out with venturing into the forum's depths, where a lot of lore posts and such reside. (The search feature can return a LOT of results sometimes)
