Just a heads up we've recently updated our server to 1.21.5! Some bugs have reared their ugly heads as a result of the update (and all the mod updates that came with it, some of which including unofficial patches), but we're working to stabilize the experience and have ironed out most of the obvious issues already. Server is still very much active and growing, with multiple towns actively recruiting (or in the works), so please don't hesitate to join our Discord and apply! http://discord.gg/R9BpRPxDV7

Art commissioned by Blackcat Briar! Built by roleplayers, for roleplayers, Echoes of the Ancients is a deep roleplay server operated by the Passion Project (PP) Gaming Community. Our vision is to cultivate a deep, flavorful and immersive roleplay experience, built to scale and become the premier Vintage Story roleplay server. We work hard to create a unique experience, built on our own systems, our own story and our own custom content. Pillars: Roleplay Lore Freedom Longevity Accessibility Story: Echoes of the Ancients is a fictional universe that takes place in a post-apocalyptic bronze age on the continent of Daystar, a realm fractured into three distinct regions: Mesana (the homeland), Venmire (the refuge) and Cindorath (yet to be discovered). It follows the fall of the Ancients, an enigmatic people whose empire achieved unparalleled expansion and technological greatness. Season 0 focuses on Venmire: a recently-colonized land of humid jungles, sprawling rivers, putrid swamps and redwood-topped mountains. While Mesana is torn apart by supernatural disaster, our characters flee to this fertile and exotic promised land. Some hope to carve out a new life for themselves, some seek to exploit its riches, some hope to support their families back home and some simply wish to survive long enough to return to Mesana and rebuild. You have a handful of unique cultures to play as... Riverfolk Duneriders Undergrounders Skylanders You can play a character in this pivotal moment in history, becoming a larger part of how it's remembered and what for. Your stories will tell the collective odyssey of Venmire and the struggles- and accomplishments- of its people. You will give real meaning and impact to the history players read about when applying to our server years down the line and writing their own backstories! You, like the people of Venmire, are pioneers in your own right! Us: We are a crack-shot team of seasoned roleplayers, writers, programmers, artists and moderators from the Americas, Europe, Asia and Oceania. We have former staff and players hailing from Minecraft and Vintage Story roleplay servers, DMs and players of tabletop RPGs and modders (like BASIC) from the Vintage Story community. I was also a Discord Partner up until 2020, lending me plenty of experience in effective community and team management- assets when undertaking a project as bold and ambitious as this one! I hope you'll give us a chance, and that we'll soon see you become a part of our wonderful community! Join and apply on our Discord today!

I don't know of any public roleplay servers that are unmodded and have a consistent playerbase, personally, but I only really look at the bigger/more active public servers. It might be possible and sustainable without major content mods, but you'll still find yourself hurting to grow and create a consistent playerbase to actually roleplay with unless you use essentials like RP Basics (proximity chat, nicknames and text formatting), Itemizer (ability to rename and redefine descriptions for items, for roleplay flavor) and a handful of others.
