Hmmm... I would say yeah overall RP has been dwindling in numbers, but that shouldn't discourage anyone from RPing and the like. It takes a bit of looking but if you search hard enough you can find good quality RP.
In my personal experience, I always managed to find some of all levels. People who join the server can utilize many ways of doing so. Joining the many different FC's linkshells are a good start, even if you don't want to join the FC they advertise many great events there open or otherwise. As well as many have great in FC arcs themselves. The RPC as well is a good resource and heck putting yourself up for the many auctions and the like can get you some great RP partners and some great arcs in the works. Taverns used to be a great way of finding RP but because of the talking quests and the FC housing that kinda got pushed aside. Many RPers have "Open to walk up RP" in their search tag, that I haven't seen used much personally, but I think it would be great if more people would use it. I also saw a thread here that maybe use the party finder for random RP shenanigans, which I thought was pretty cool!Â
On the negative side, what I have found (especially with tavern RP) is that it never goes beyond introductions and small talk then and there.
I usually have Iliette stationed at either at Arcanum's FC house, or at Old Gridania near Mikh Khet and I wish more people would just walk up to me and say hi in character XD
I agree with all the people from Gilgamesh that have commented. The server while it does have fewer numbers RPing (either because they left, or don't like asking for it because they feel they are bothering the person etc), but it is not dying and worth a look. It maybe a bit of a search, but people are open for it and we have many tools at our side so I say utilize them!
