While I don't mean to discourage you, now would be the worst possible time to try creating your own RP shell. That's not to say it can't succeed, but the likelihood of it doing so would be rather slim right now unless you've already got a handful of friends waiting in the wings to pump initial energy into it. The best time to create a RP shell now would be right around PS3 launch when the flood of newbies start coming in and oldies return.
There have been 3 attempts to start a crafter only type of RP shell and none of them have managed to get off the ground (save for Silver Anvil, but even they struggled quite a bit in keeping an active roster and eventually had to disband).
The RP community, along with the general community, is in a slight lull right now. This is largely due to the game still being considered in unofficial "beta testing." You can still find RP of course and there are numerous events still going on. But most RPers have pretty much settled into whatever shell they want to be in for the time being.
Again, not trying to discourage you. Just don't want you to get your hopes up by creating your own group. My advice would be to join a pre-existing one and consider creating your own after you've garnered enough interest later down the line. Either way, hope to see you in Eorzea!
