Actually Landroval has a very active Oceanic community with a recent but very rapidly growing kinship and with formal community alliances: "The Oceanic Warriors" does kin runs several times a week, has an active nostalgia, slowish levelling group, and open public raids and BBs at least twice a week. Suggest you check out their kinsite. They also host an open to the community team speak.

I am an emissary not a kin member so I am not touting for business
GLFF and world may
seem inactive for getting groups but that is because there is a community created channel for that for raiders and capped players. And there is a low level grouping channel. And a RP specific channel. And a russian channel. And possibly others I am unaware of.
As for PVP, yeah I hear it's bad if you don't like larger groups but it is active and nowhere near as toxic as on other smaller servers where PvP incidents/alliances/hissyfits can break up established kins and drive people away from the server completely, due to small town syndrome. A lot of active PvPers have transferred in the last year from dramalode, crick, and ridder so it maybe different from what you experienced in the past.
BTW most Landroval players I know do not formally RP but do enjoy the events and concerts run and sustained by the RP community. Music is very noticable part of ME on Landy. As is the use of cosmetics -it's cool to be a raider/PvPer and obsessed with your wardrobe or pet collection. This is a big plus for me. But apart from the public concerts, as long as you stay out of the Pony, you won't even know it's a RP server most of the time. Just don't call yourself something clearly in breach of CoC and/or offensive, don't grief RPers and concerts, and you'll be right, mate.
Of the three servers I have been active on, Landroval world is generous, funny, helpful and it is quite multicultural-although not as much so as Laurelin. Peeps are NEVER reported for speaking spanish or russian in chat. On Landy someone usually uses google translate to point people in the direction of non english speaking kins and channels. It's
very different from Brandy. Even the ./world trolls are generally coralled by the community before things get to the reporting stage. I actually tried a few alts on E before I transferred to Landroval but I found more action and more welcome to a new resident at my play times (Aussie peak) than I did on E.
cheers, Pera
(I am an Aussie btw, so I'd love to see more of us on my server.)
