No, I don't know about other virtual navies, but we on betasom.it have a dangerous waters section, where we organize course for the different units. We have missions each week in multiplayer, not the type of free for all, but missions designed around teamwork, objective based etc...
We have around 30 players and increasing, and 10-15 play regularly each week.
The french community on mille-sabords have a pretty healthy dw community also.
In the past years we even organized mille-sabords vs betasom dw matches.

So for us DW is not dead at all, its popularity is even increasing because people that tradionally have played SH 3 or 4 now look for another game. And they read the after mission reports we write after each mission and it ignites their imagination.
I can assume that playing free lance is more difficult, because you have to find players, and if they are in different time zones, say european and far east, or european and american west coast thats makes it very difficult to find a suitable time to play together.
