I've noticed fewer applications to join our LS post Balmung closure, but I expected that, really. We're not a group that recruits very aggressively or puts ourselves out there that often. XD
In that way, we may be one of the "hidden/insular" RP groups floating around Balmung. The reason I bring it up is so that I can echo a lot of the people who have already posted: there is an enormous RP population on Balmung, but you may have to take steps beyond walk-up RP to find them.
My suggestion for finding these myriad/extended RP contacts is twofold.
1.) Go to events! There are so many RP events posted here on the forums and calendar, each hosted by its own unique RP group. It's a great way to meet new RPers, and every event has the potential to be run differently. So even if you have a bad experience at one or two events, it wouldn't be fair to extend that experience to -every- event. The only way to know for sure is to try out each one!
2.) Join RP LS's! Even if you already have an FC, as many people do, there are still quite a few groups listed in the Linkshell directory for Balmung. Joining an RP LS can be very mutually beneficial -- new players breathe new life into a LS, and the LS can introduce a score of fresh new faces to an individual. (Although I admit that my own LS isn't very popular since we're kind of a "low power level" RP group, haha.)
I think there's still hope! Try some new things before giving up on the server, I say.
