Kingdoms...
 

My God! The kingdoms are turning into the big playerworld ordeal, evryone wants a kingdom now!

Now that like everyone is making kingdoms I despise it...

Do you think this poll is stupid?
Yes
No

Well, when the kingdoms first came out, they were cool, but when i joined one, it was boring, and there was nothing to do!

Samurai ownz, kingdoms are cool....traidors are not *glares at Vash*

They have RP Kingdoms on a world that was not meant for RPing. So 50% of the people want to, 50% don't. It hasn't worked out since it started.

I don't think it's fair that people can change kingdoms once a "better deal" comes along. It's dishonorable and not at ALL in character. I doubt YOUR character would be like "OKAY! I'M A SAMURAI IN SAMURAI AND NOW THAT THE KING WANTS ME IN DUSTARI, I THINK I'LL SWITCH KINGDOMS JUST SO I CAN GET A PRINCE POSITION, EVEN THOUGH SAMURAI AND DUSTARI ARE WARRING, YA KNOW! HYUCK!" Nope. Doesn't happen. Give me a break, that's terrible.

When my Emperor character dies im gonna start a new Human rp character

Many dustari went from dustari to samurai marle.. You have quite a few traitors..... Some went from pirates to samurai too......

I think kingdoms are good, it might not provide flawless rping but its probably the closest graal2k is going to come.. when rping on graal i think its important to realize graal isn't a fully rping-geared game. people should just intergrate rping and the way the normally play graal, like in a war you can't expect people to RP and lay their dead, its just not the 'graal way'. and if kingdoms truly want to promote rping they need to change the way they go about doing it. I mean i dont think that samurais traditionally had cowboy cactuses. other than a name and a hat kingdoms dont really have anything that promotes RPing. Kingdoms should encourage players to play in character that includes the rulers themselves.

About 40% of the kingdoms are actual RPers, but the other 60% are all people that don't RP and think that the kingdom is a guild where they can go around PKing with others from the kingdom, or they just want the npcs you can get for being in the kingdom or they want their own rooms in the kingdom's castle, etc.
Also, I notice that alot of people wear their kingdom tags when they're not RPing, I think that they only need to wear them when they are RPing.
I personally don't like to RP, so I never joined a kingdom. One of the reasons I quit Bomy Gang, was because CoolNick told me that Bomy Gang was going to become a kingdom. Also, there were people in BG that were already in a kingdom (or 2 =/), and there were also players that didn't play p2p, but were in the guild, so I didn't think it would work out.
