The server is huge, you still have enough people to keep things fresh and exciting, you just need to go seek it out.
Most of the linkshells have died out. Just in the past 2 months I have visited or joined multiple FCs that literally all RP with the exact same crowds. It's become a running joke that wherever I go I will see the same 10 people.

Whether you like to admit it or not, unless you enjoy random RP with the very wide-ranging RP quality in the Quicksand(FFXIV's version of Goldshire from WoW), you are a bit screwed. The community of RP fc's has been hurting. Heck, go look at something like the RPC and the FC's that are available right now. most of them are dead, dying, or no longer exist.
