The most interesting thing about Limsa, to me, is that conflict of the "old ways" versus the new order. While Ul'dah has that classical "law/order vs the criminal element," Limsa is in the unique position where its governing law in many cases used to be its criminal element, including Admiral Merlwyb and Storm Marshall Eynzahr. I'd love to see events that bring those two "sides" of Lominsan society together, employing different means to a common goal.Â
So speaking for myself, the treasure hunt angle sounds like it'd be right up my alley and would put a twinkle in Hwab's eye for sure. Once a pirate...  But aye, first things first: a nice li'l RP hotspot where characters of all types can mingle without it seeming forced. And that's the kicker: the Bismarck is a little too high-falootin' for Hwab's sensibilities, and I doubt I'm alone there. Then there's the Drowning Wench, which is always full of non-RPers. The Missing Member is a bit on the small side, but rubbin' elbows is what we want people to do, right?
I feel like I might be coming across as a bit.. limiting, with all of the options I'm suggesting being taverns. I know many folks are averse to "Tavern RP," and to be fair it is often stifling, but in the smaller communities I've played in (MUDs, NWN persistent worlds) taverns and town squares and the like were simply where people went to get a party started. The real RP happened when somebody said "Yanno what? To hell with them orcs. Let's take up arms and raid their camp!" or a DM took interest and decided to make something happen. The beauty of Limsa Lominsa is that, at least in comparison with Ul'dah, we are that smaller community. It should be easier for us to do things like that.
