I don't have a ton to really throw into this thread right now because I'm falling asleep at my keyboard, but I just wanted to say that I don't actually feel like I have a ton of trouble finding open world RP. While we DO RP a lot in the Goblet lately, near/in our (new!) FC house, our group has always done a good bit of open world, out of tavern RP. Most of our recruitment has been done this way, from people just walking up on our RP and joining in. While we did notice some of the largest RP FCs definitely recruit...ah....aggressively, once we agreed that -numbers- weren't really important in the long run, we didn't feel so bad about just picking people up as we RP'd with them as compared to actively seeking people out and recruiting them in.
I've heard a lot of both good and bad about both servers. Personally, I really like Gilgamesh. While some of the larger groups could maybe be more open about their RP, I feel like many people have gone to great lengths to draw in some of the smaller FCs for plotlines. Almost everyone I've met on this server (including the non-RPers) have been really nice and respectful. I absolutely don't regret rolling here, and I don't feel like the RP community here is "dying". I try to keep in mind that there's always an ebb and flow when it comes to activity. We might just be in an ebb stage as the summer starts to come in and people adjust from college to working, or going home, or whatever thing is changing for them.
