If you're looking for RP on a pvp RP server you're a few years too late. You can still find it on a few but you will have to actively look. Sadly they don't even enforce naming restrictions anymore. They were good fun for awhile since people focused on the fun aspects of pvp not the best ways to grief another player. There was actually some doubt as to if there was going to be a fight if you saw the opposite faction. The tension was way more fun than "its red its dead." I also remember organized world raids on the one I was on, I think the biggest we filled 3 raids on both sides.
As you have noticed though a lot of the community is gone from warcraft. Server transfers mean people move on and off servers so freely there are new faces all the time, and the dungeon finder means getting to know new people isn't necessary in order to do pre-raid content. I think the worst is the luck of the draw buff and satchels encourages people to group with strangers. I think Blizzard was a little too effective in breaking up the cliques that often formed, then encourages them in raiding with 10 mans.
