Having done endgame on Gilgamesh and minor RPing I think the server is not dead. Really as long as there is still one or two groups of people still roleplaying the server can't die. But the golden age of Gilgamesh RPing is over, I used to see open world RP quite often but (When I last had subs) it was noticeably declining and somewhat quickly. It became where the only RP I saw was at events I would pass by.
These events I imagine were hosted by the RPing free company Giants. The ones who were active on aggressively recruiting people. But with the supposed fall of the RPing giants it is like a ruined mega city with a few RPers of old and new hiding in its ruins. And when you have a few small invisible groups who only RP internally. You can forget there is even a RP community at all. The golden age of RP on Gilgamesh is over. Now the chances of it going into a new era of greatness are there, But it will not be today, nor tomorrow. I believe should this game ever recieve another massive intake of players like WoW Did after Vanilla. Then Gilgamesh has a chance to thrive again. As it still has the appeal of being open range and not having all the rules that need followed if you were to come to Balmung.
So I do not think Gilgamesh as died, or that it ever will. It is simply nothing of what it once was. and is more of a haven for the quiet internal RP. in a nice small countryside town.
Meanwhile Balmung is new york. It is natural people are going to want to go there because I mean... IT IS NEW YORK? But there are people who don't like big cities and will love Gilgamesh.
