Well in 2010 to 2012 you need to remember there wasn't too many of the DM-RP style non-English servers around, nowadays most people rather play their native language server that has the same style GM and structure as NG-RP. I also personally think NG-RP has done quite a number of wrong-doings and they were bound to hit the fan sooner or later and run out of luck. Why do I think RP servers that are being created nowadays aren't getting anywhere? Because I have noticed the English side of SA-MP is dying and most people who play SA-MP nowadays their native language isn't English, if your server is strict RP not to many people who cannot speak English properly are going to bother to join your server as it's too confusing and complicated for them. For the DM style / Low-RP servers they're basically doing the same thing every other server is doing, you're competing with over hundreds of servers and you expect to be noticed over a few extra features. Most RP servers I see created are either created because management is power hungry or they think a few special features will make their RP server the best ever, the problem is why join them when you can join hundreds of others that are already structured and have proven they are committed, and as mentioned "hundreds" of others. You can't really compete with them if you're basically doing the same concept.

From (a currently outsiders) perspective that looks pretty accurate, but at the end of the day a roleplay server is a roleplay server - regardless of whether you get away with deathmatching or paying to win, if people roleplay on it and it's named as a roleplay server, then it's a roleplay server.
