RPing and PKing don't mix.

[Tseng]

Another great example of excellent samurai RPing =)

Look at his/her name.

[Kaiser2]

Why, hello Keibi Tilda Exclamation mark At sign Underscore At sign Exclamation Mark Tilda of Samurai, how are you this fine day

[JudgeDurst]

Maybe the kingdoms system could be changed so either it doesn't allow special symbols on tag or you have a set name?
just an idea dunno if that would work.

[--Chris--]

That would suck Durst, they shouldn't be in the Kingdom period if they're dumb enough to do something like that e_e

[JudgeDurst]

It's Worry x.x

I guess but... some people don't know any better and should be taught about RPing, rather than just be called dumb because they don't know something older players of the game do..

[--Chris--]

I usually give an RP test before recruiting for Forest and if they fail, explain rping to them and let them join if their response isn't stupid.

example: OOC means out of character, you speak about anything and everything that ins't playing the role of your character nor rping and the same applies for your actions. - Me

so can i join, i no how 2 rp now K. and what does in character mean - Them.

[JudgeDurst]

Yeah thats how i'd do it, if i could actually recruit x.x

Maybe somebody could set up a site or do a forum post with a guide to basic graal RPing, that'd help a lot =)

.. Pirates haven't been a problem ..

Last year, in fall, when DragonX and Ghost Pirate were pirates and went around PKing....Pirates' RPing was HORRIBLE! Do you not remember seeing every 5 seconds "DragonX has killed __", and in between those 5 seconds,seeing "GhostPirate has killed __", and then there were others who you would see every minute. Anyhow, I realize a pirate isn't such a nice guy anyways, but it doesn't mean he's a murderer who kills people with little fighting skills and a weak weapon (AKA by the Samurai: nubz). I agree with the whole thing about that Bouken guy being a horrible RPer, I don't know him much, but I noticed all those people with "malisous" or whatever it is in their names, and they're all people who just say "XD!" All the time. The worst RPing nations I've noticed are Samurai and pirates.

I was even interrupted while trying to read this post cause a samurai guy was following me around trying to kill me. The way I figure it, the RPing is horrible on GK right now. People have attitudes like "lol evry1 onl-E rpz drng btlz". The few people that can RP great do like RPing don't seem to have time to play often (like kamuii..he's the only king i've seen make an announcement to the kingdom, but i'm sure it's better than one from samurai,which consists of "LETZ PWN THOSE NUUUUUUUUUBZ! LELZ! 1337 PWNAGE TIME,GUYZ"), or the people who are on more often are on during different times of the day...basically,there isn't many good times for RP fun. I'm glad the guild CP is back though. With the guild CP around....all we have to remember is: If you you want things done right, do them yourself.

That's why me and some friends started our own RP group. Though it may be hard to have an RP group when many things are limited to kingdoms (like switching to battle mode and peacefull..and sometimes making houses...) and having a meeting place like a kingdom has a castle may be difficult. It really is better to have your own RP group (like become king or make your own), no matter how hard it is, if you really HATE the current state of RPing.

edit (a few hours after posting): the guy that was trying to PK me earlier,with a samurai tag and with the account DenoriZakarum is an idiot...he went after me and my friend while we were RPing and heading to a dungeon, so we just went into the water to avoid his horrible RPing actions.....and then he followed us and said something like "u 2 culdnt take me lol"...does samurai even CARE about RPing? -_- he even killed me while i was posting this,dont even know how,i was way out into the water too...according to people around,he used a bug of r/c'ing and standing on water....sorry for the long post,but i didnt wanna post again one after the other

The reason 2k2 RPing is bad is becuase it isn't enforced.
I mean, sure the kingdom leaders can kick a member out.
But that person can always just go to another kingdom (see Samurai), and then there's still bad RPers.

Wow, do you have an obsession with me or something? In mostly every post you make it has something to do with me, why is that? The past is the past, can't you get over it? I do not PK anymore because I am neutral with everyone. If someone hits me then I will hit them back...

I suggest we have an RP council, similar to an RP Admin, but a group of them, so no one has full say in what is RPing and what is not.

Don't worry, I don't even like you, I won't obsess over you You weren't even the main subject of my thread. My point was that people ruin the RPing environment, or just stop one from being present, not that your barb has 200charm in my eyes, that's for my other post

Then stop posting crap about me, I'm tired of it. I don't have 200 charm, you can't even go above 30 charm. I buy stuff because I have the money for it and I keep my finances in check. If you are smart with money, you will have more money, if you are a fool who spends money on everything, you will be poor.

Edit: Also using someone else's account to post is ILLEGAL so you should stop doing that :]

[Kaiser2]

He means 200 charm, as in you're so charming that it makes him obsess over you :O

Not to sound like a fanatic, but it's obvious why GK doesn't prosper in RPing. It's reasons are subtle, yet obvious at the same time.

A.) We waste too much time on our own agenda's now. Back then, in G2k1, there wasn't a constant leveling, so RPing made good sense, and was fun. our time is 95% us, and 5%RP because we don't need RPing. It's now just memories, because we can get what we want now.

B.) The Kingdom Islands don't hold much, under-populated, and to hard to reach. Because of our own agendas, we are thrown all over the place, and we barely travel together. We see no reason to go to the KI's because we cannot continue in our materialistic ways there.

C.) It's become TOO realistic. The harshness of life has not helped, but hindered. Contradictions cross. We have to have food stocked-piled, but we are alchemists, We have to eat regularly, unless we pray to Bile, except we are White Mages, BUT we are Pirates.

[Discharge]

Not to mention they keep adding useless games. I really wish I knew who is the smart guy that keeps adding lame card games instead of adding new cloths or something.

But really, the game is stupid and I don't even play it anymore. The forums provide more entertainment then GK, hopefully with my complaints it can change. Hopefully.
