Why is darkrp so popular?

is popular because it is a fun and easy gamemode to play, as well as being able to play with friends

Because he don't really need to be roleplay, many kids are playing on him

People play darkrp very much because it is not serious and to have fun on it with some cool features server owners can add.

They are popular because they have friends, I am 100% serious. I know of a few that have done dirty methods to get popular such as adverting in other people's servers.

Because it's very easy to expand on content, meaning there's always something new and also because it's just fun to mess around in and meet new people.

because of the pure chaos that happens when you put 30+ 12 year olds on one server

Its Roleplay, much people like Roleplay. And the Gamemode is much realistic than Sandbox (When you try to rp in sb)

I think it's because in darkrp, there's a lot of RP possibilities

I feel like its just popular because you can RDM and have fun with friends on it and usually get away with it.

It is popular because it is a way for garry's mod trolls to express themselves in a way that actually makes players mad.... by destroying things that are hard for them to get back.
