Hi! Welcome to RPC.
As the others have said, I'd probably recommend tryign to get an alt on Balmung first, before leaving your friends. Get a feel for the server first. See if it's got the type of community you're looking for.
If you've got questions about RPing in an MMO, or how most people seem to do it here, please ask us! There are a LOT of resources for nearly everything. (and I've got this post of a bunch of common text commands somewhere...)

Side note: leveling alternate classes become a LOT easier once you hit 50 with one. You'll get EXP boosts. Now if you're cycling through the Main Scenerio Questline with them, that's probably still the best EXP out there, since it's large amounts for enjoying the game's cutscenes. And it gives you lore tidbits which you'll find helpful for character concepts and overall feel for the game.
