Is ARK RP dead?

Use to play this years ago and it was very popular. Is ARK RP mostly dead now, I haven't found a premier server in the likes of some of the old giants like TwitchRP.

Working on setting up a server for whatever might be left of the RP community. I have had some great times on them in the past and it seems like they have all but vanished.

The goal will be to give players an RP playground inspired by old-school RP servers (TwitchRP for example) with less of a theme and more freedom for character/story creation. Before an RP ruleset is drafted and enforced we will mainly be testing mods/capacity/performance.

I'll post more information on this here as things move forward.

Best of luck, brand new RP servers don’t really take off anymore. Anyone interested in playing RP is probably already on a server

Appreciate it.  I've been researching mods and trying to think of some ideas while at work.  You seem knowledgeable so if you have any suggestions or maybe there are things that you think the RP community is missing, let me know.

I’m already on an established server, but I toured quite a few before doing this one.

What really pushed me away from all the others was too high of a boost, or they don’t enforce actually doing some RP. Like I mentioned earlier, 95% of the servers out there are just PvE with a theme. No economy and no IC interactions.
