That, I do not know. I did not play 1.0 for very long at all. I do know the limited time I played, I created a linkshell just for my friends, and join a friend's linkshell. I do not know how they effected the RPC.Â
All I know is the only complaint I've understood, has been "Legacy linkshells won't accept ARR players, and be ignored (Unintentionally)." I can relate to that from other MMO's, really, but this game seems brand new to me this time around (If that makes sense xD) and that everyone on these forums have seemed helpful, nice, and actually quite excited for an increased Roleplay community.
And small Edit: It's important to put out that the FFXIV 1.0 was considered really bad. So only true fans or people who found some masochist pleasure from playing were left. That doesn't leave a very large population. So I'd imagine the RPC is very eager for this "revival" and increase of RP player base.
