I am going to keep this short so that I don't go off my proverbial rocker. But I am more angry now than I have ever been in terms of my feelings towards Graal.

I haven't kept up with Kingdoms lately. I didn't choose to; I've never much liked 2002, it wasn't for me, I guess. But I still keep up with news now and then; Log on to see how things are, etc.

I log on tonight to find two of the most disgusting things I have ever seen in my entire term of roleplaying on Graal.

First:

"Goblin Hero Ank-Su-Na-Moon (Forest)".

That alone is bad enough. The name is not Goblinoid in origin. It's more Egyptian than anything else, for crying out loud. If you're going to have Goblins, at least give them Goblinoid names, for crying out loud. If you're too cheap or too ignorant to go buy a fantasy book that has goblins in it, you shouldn't be admitting people into your Kingdom.

Two:

An abundance of "Bakugun" tags which seem incredibly out of place to me. Bakugun is supposed to be Samurai, is it not? So, why are there people with Vietnamese and Thai names? It makes no sense. And then there are names which aren't even Asian in origin. I'm sorry, but Tesd'nah Regnir and Chibikko Taitesu are not Asian names.

And a third I just noticed now:

Spellcaster Bobo of Zormite. Except Bobo is full of ASCII with fancy titling and such. What, has Zormite become some guild now where anyone's admitted without any semblance of a decent RPing name? At least Bakugun's tags are realistic in the sense that their people have first and last names and there's no ridiculous ASCII.

I'm mad enough after seeing these three things. But what's the icing on the cake for me?

Out of curiosity, I asked one of the Bakugun people about Forest. Specifically, if they were Elves in Forest. The answer made me want to vomit. There are Elves in Forest, or so I am told.

WHAT FOOL DID THIS? Is there no sense left in the world to remember that Orcs and Goblins are the MORTAL GODDAMN ENEMIES of Elves? Yes, that's right! You have mortal enemies of one another in the same Kingdom, coexisting. Go ahead, completely destroy all fantasy literature and established background, while you're at it.

This is disgusting. Nothing is as it should be and I fail to see how any RPing can be going on in such an abysmal environment. I'm actually afraid to see how Dustari is looking right now.

Ugh, this really didn't make my day.
