I am only just now returning to BM after a few years, but I have found that RP begets RP in a lot of cases, and it only takes a few people that are having fun to get things going. That said, some realms are just boring.
I have characters in Silnaria and have had fun there... it's not very RP heavy, but the other players appreciate it when you do RP, and play along as they can. It's a small, new realm so there is room to flex your chops without getting drowned in the white noise that some realms present.
Just 2 cents!
