Roleplay on Project '99 ?

[Mimn]

One of the aspects of classic EQ I really enjoyed (Erollisi Marr for me) was the large population of roleplayers you'd encounter just about everywhere. As the game aged and progression/parsing/ooc became the norm the game lost some of it's flavor. Off I went to defend Halas as Samm the warrior once the RP server (Firiona Vie) came online but even there, after about a year, the roleplay died.

I'm just curious, while I only toggle on rp here and there and have encountered a few others 'goin' purple', are there many dedicated roleplayers on the server? A RP guild perhaps or group that stages events? How often do you run across it in game? I wonder if others were drawn back for that as well?
