Start your own RP group on another server, you don't need to be in the popular crowd.
It is not about being with the popular crowd. It is about being with a crowd at all. People who RP generally want to be around other people who do RP so there are plenty of people to RP with.

It has nothing to do with prestige or any such silliness, but has everything to do with the simple fact that to do RP you need to be where other RPers are.
