I still play from time to time. For the most part the only in game communities tend to just use the world props as a prop/sandbox for freeform roleplaying. The people who script level their characters tend to talk on discord and probably other chats. I don't think spontaneous in game interaction is much of a thing anymore.
IMO Dragonrealms was great in the late 90s and early 2000s, but when I tried to get back into it in 2020 I found that rampant AFK scripting for skill progression killed my desire to put much time into it. It was supposedly still against the rules, but those rules were basically completely unenforced and people would just flagrantly violate them while the GMs didn't seem to care. I ended up canceling my account after about a month.
