Yes, nomads are still around, they are just rare to see because most people of the community cannot make it into the K'hara due to horrible skills to actually play one, and all the ones who 'can' make it in just.. dont bother with nomads.
The little amount of people that are on right now also dont happen to be the most active, as they are all caught up in other things. Opening up the Nomad ID was a large topic a few weeks ago, but looking at the results of a poll, it does not seem the community would not like that as much, so in the end I suppose it will have to be to the admins and such to decide that.
