PK or RP

[CABAL49]

This is simple, just select which you think Graal Kingdoms is.

[kia345]

Rp

[cyan3]

Balanced, but i do think they should have a better pk system but still have the rp battle mode as we still do.

[Butz]

Graal Kingdoms is a "Sit in the trade house and idle" server.

[skiylaroso]

I havent seen any PKing , they should add it so 2 levels up or down can fight with u...

[hampy]

Pk

That is true you hit the nail on the head there.

That will destory the pk system and in a kingdom war you will not be able to attack anyone.

Well it is the only good thing left that you can do on GK :9

[MisterMastermind]

I see a lot of sitting in bomb trade and idling, but no RP or PK.

[Draenin]

PKing makes RPing more realistic. PK.


Just because you think you're character's strong or skilled doesn't mean you are, and so it's a way to prove it.

[Moonite]

mmorpg + skills... n1 one

u dont even need teamplay at Kingdoms :/

[Crimson2005]

To me it's a pk server, seeing as the goal is to reach the highest level, get good stats, buy weapons, armor and preparing weapons, so that you can be able to pk and pk well.

That's an understatement.
I started playing Val today since my GK account expired (I hadn't played in a long time... and apparently all there is to do right now is RP), and I realized how low GK's standards of RPing are...

Now I'm not saying I'd like GK to be like Val.
GK has a level and battle system so it should be used for battles. We once had a good RPing system, and we once had good RPers going around PKing (I used to be PKed daily by Ghost Pirate when I first started playing GK). But if someone level 110 comes to an AFK king who is only level 40 and slaughters him, that shoudn't mean the level 110 is the new king. I use this example because it's a very stupid scenario and you can pick and pull all the issues with what's wrong with it. (The game shouldn't be about random PKing, the king shouldn't be announced dead in RPing simply because he's PKed, the murderer of the king shouldn't become king, and people shouldn't be ranked based on their levels, stats, items...).

The question here also needs to be revised. I think many RPers would agree with me when I say GK IS an RPing server, as that its intention, but I think the question was whether or not it is successfully playing its role as an RP server. It has kingdoms. It has a whole settings set up for RPing, but it's the people that make it so it seems like a PKing server. I say people, not players, because everyone plays a role in this. Staff, players... anyone else?
The idea is people have to organize and do something about it if they want RPing.

Edit: Also, PKing does NOT make RPing more realistic. You can do a bunch of things that would normally make you a strong fighter in the game. You can spend hours running throughout the world. Realistically this would make you fit and a good runner with strong legs. You can eat a healthy diet and exercise a bunch. You can spend countless days, weeks (or RPing years) sparring and practicing fighting with a friend. None of these things as far as I know will give you EXP. On the other hand, you can have someone who spends less time, fighting in the dungeons killing monsters and accumulating wealth. This person can get to a point where he can PK the other player with his fists. Is that realistic? All he did was use a strong weapon to level up quickly, while the other person spent much more time exercising, and even practicing with a REAL person, yet he somehow can't win a fight. Of course that's not realistic- it's game mechanics.

I'm not saying the first person should be given rights to go around and kill everyone or win every fight. But I'm just pointing out how PKing does not always make RPing more realistic, if at all.

I think its more directed at RP if anything but some MORE balance would be nice

[Mousymee]

I usually PK every time I get on. It's just messing around with friends, but still fun.

[Googi]

It's an economy server.

Val is the RP Server

Not really keep in mind that those of us who voted actually use the forums and have been around for a while. I bet it would be different if we got a lot of the new people to vote. And I mean without the promise of items and such. Actually voting on their own.

Well they are trying to add MORE to do than PK from what i hear.
Plus do some of ravens events

Good point, but even the economics seem rather...incomplete.

[Ziro_of_the_Turks]

I thought GK and Zone are pass-times so that while you're waiting for people to reply to thread discussions you're participating in, you'll have something to do. You pay for Graal to use these forums, and the "gold" servers are just an extra you get with it.

So GK is neither RP nor PK. It's just a bonus, a way to waste time.

BTW, my gold subscription just ran out. Do I now have limitations on these forums?

[Obs311]

I'm sorry, I vote PK from what I've seen lately =/

No, all that jazz was eliminated ages ago.

What the server is is determined by what it is, not what people vote that it is.

[Pimmeh]

G2k2 is a PK server as of now....I played GK for like...200 hours with 3 accounts and then I left because I didint feel like grinding past level 15 and I got my house and good weapons...Off to Val I went

[Gothika]

It's funny how 14 people voted it a PK server. And theres never 14 people on B.Mode.

In total there are about 15-20 bmoders actually.
Timezones ftw.
And you don't need to be BMode to vote PK really.

Seems to me people are voting on what the server is.

So what exactly is it? You said it was an economy server, care to elaborate?
