I'm sure it wouldn't be too hard for them all to go back to Graal Bomy Moon and have more fun RPing.
I struggle to see why they don't.
It's ironic, but I'll try to explain:

On Graal 2001, before Graal kingdoms came out, you'd see that the majority of people were role-playing. Evenm though we all complained that there needed to be more role-playing tools and role-playing elements, we still role-played there by making things up and improvising.

Then all of a sudden Graal kingdoms comes out, and people start going there, however, I know for a fact, and I'm sure many others do that this server is much more different then what we were anticipating. The kind of environment from Graal 2001 to Graal Kingdoms is so different that people struggle to find an easy way to role-play, and people don't even role-play, all they are focused on is gaining levels and becoming super strong by fighting baddies, buying spells and making potions to create armor and such.

I don't know, maybe we're just a little bit traditionalist, but it seems that for the kind of people that play Graal Kingdoms (determined to be the best, no matter what, very machiavellian and will do anything it takes) that role-playing isn't suited for that kind of server. At least back on Graal 2001 it wasn't all based on how strong you were, it was also based on loyalty, friendship, and yes, some skill (you had to be good at sparring). How many people have you seen actually role-play on graal kingdoms, as in, a true role-playing event, where two kingdoms got together and did something special or unique? I can count those times on one hand.
