I think the reason we didn't see a lot of RP in Ishgard is because it was so exclusive. Elezen, Hyur, Elezen, Hyur, Elezen, Hyur, a smattering of others. It was all very political and Game of Thrones-y (not that I didn't enjoy it, I really did), and almost required you to have a direct connection to Ishgard, so only a particular niche of player would naturally be drawn to it. Doma seems to have the potential for being slightly more inclusive.
My character, for example, was only even remotely interested in Ishgard itself because of the Brume and the potential for helping the people there.
