I really don't think you'll ever be able to get that same vibe we had back in 2012/2013 ever again, and it's not your fault Soul.
Back then it felt much more like a community, most of the time people got along and there was a lot less flaming, there used to just be one guy who'd just flare up and everyone would would laugh at for a bit, take that act0r guy from a couple years back as an example.
Everyone seemed willing to help as well, new players would come on and people would be willing to help them out as much as they could. RP always created itself, there wasn't much need for staff to try and induce it since most of the time there was a lot of things going on at once anyway.
I really think you're pinning down the reasoning to the downfall of players on the wrong factors, there was a lack of development back then as well, but people kept playing anyway since there was always something new to see, not because of new features implemented by developers, but the constant new experiences generated by player-created RP.
And I'm not suggesting you go back to it, but it's no lie that one of the biggest contributors to this atmosphere we had was v2d. It was much smaller, true, but that forced everyone to get by in that more confined space where interaction was much easier, compared to v33x/v4b1 where most RP seem isolated and individual. For that extra driving space and yacht, the close community was sacrificed.
I wish you the best of luck in recreating such a server, but I do feel those times are way past us now.
Written on my phone so sorry for any typos.
