Listen, man. Roleplay is only dead on the server if you choose for it to be. Over the span of the last week, I've run a paintball event, a boxing event, attended a yacht party, went to multiple meetings, hung out at two different restaurants and had time to do some grinding on the side. GMOD at the core is a social game through and through. Money's nice and all, but a lot of the roleplay in this mode is what you make of it.
If you're bored, just do something about it. Go through the processes, get yourself a business and start making some roleplay that you perceive as fun. Changing the time isn't going to do much about your current dilemma. You'll just be in a different year and still not making roleplay for yourself and others.
It's worth taking the time to just foster and grow some connections, my man. That's a lot of the fun of this place is making the roleplay happen. Go do that.
