I think the thing I'll say in favour of Balmung is that it's big enough that you can find anything. The first thing you find might not be what you want, but that doesn't mean what you want isn't out there. It probably is. And probably so are 20 people who want the same thing as you do. They might even have a thread in the linkshell hall.
Before I was on Balmung, I was on a small RP server in WoW. It can be good for some people, but... if you ever fall out with anyone, or don't get on with their roleplay style... they're there. Forever. You have to avoid them. Forever. Which usually means transferring. Because it's impossible to avoid people in small communities. There are only so many events per week, and, say, only 10-15 people at each... it gets awkward and uncomfortable incredibly quickly to try to avoid an individual (or heavens forbid a guild).
Know why no one ever says anything bad about small server communities? Either because there isn't enough of a community to comment on, or because anyone who doesn't like it has to transfer away.
That's clique-y, at least IMO. On big servers like Balmung, if someone's mean to you or tries to shut you out, you can just find someone else to roleplay with who isn't like that. Because there are so many people. The probability of you finding 0 who meet your needs is incredibly small.
On small servers, if what you find first-time isn't what you want, that's it. Transfer time.
