Gilgamesh isn't dead, or anything so dramatic. The shape of the land has just changed a bit. There are people that want to get into RP - but don't see it quite often. I've been working my tail off running my tavern events and such to get people out there doing stuff again. And will continue to do so with more events in the future.
My guild Gold is pretty much a lot smaller than it used to be, but we're still here and recently got a nice infusion of some fresh blood. There are still new RPers showing up all the time, we've just lost our ability to coordinate them properly with the advent of the housing district. Most of our RP on our server has taken place inside of it - people just aren't making an effort to get themselves out there anymore sadly. Zach and I have hosted events trying to get more RPers back out into the open. And I've seen more new blood because of it.
If the community has been shrinking it's primarily our fault for not trying. And that shouldn't be the case. People are afraid to take initiative because they don't think it's rewarded. My first tavern event had a very paltry show out, and only got busy when I started poking people to show up. My last event had a bunch of people show up and the event ran for 9 hours. Rumors of our death have been greatly exaggerated.
