I think, DarkRP DYING, but not TOO fast, what many players're thinking. I found very good russian DarkRP project, whose authors did very good gameplay (i told about Turbosovetsk, server about alived USSR in our time).
I think, this "conjuncture" was caused by a lot of money-print servers, which can't show nothing expect donate-functions. But, if we will search good promising projects and will support it, i'm sure, DarkRP gamemode will reborn and become better, then now.
