Society roleplay servers?

My friend recently got me very into this game and now I'm kind of obsessed with it

Fell pretty easily into a local blacksmith and explorerer archetype, but I cant play on that world all the time as its run from his computer.

Ive seen there's a couple public rp servers but it seems like they've been running for years at this point and there's almost definitely already people living in the dungeons, which I'd like to move into one at some point
