BurningBridges,
A lot of players have joined the Realms Online server. Same game but with a different name. Their server Raven is a server that started out North American but is now an English International server.
They have events all day long like Exp boosts (that stack with boosters) and gold/loot boosts, mob spawns and mob invasions and they are starting their first ever monthly realm vs realm pvp tournament. There is a calendar of events in their forums.
If you find Horus to be dead you should check it out. They have 24 hour customer support
