There will never be good role-playing on GK because of the setup.

How can you not RP efficiently? Just level up if you want access to certain spells/prayers. It's not that hard.
Stop blaming the items on people's RPing abilities. Instead blame the PLAYERS. You can't blame alcohol for the cause of drunk driving accidents, you blame the person taking the alcohol. Alcohol doesn't just go into your mouth unwillingly.
SaridHorn is a perfect example of a player. She is level 49 and (I believe) she has no alchemy items. If you can dedicate your time to playing, you can get far. Sitting and whining just because you are lazy is totally absurd!
Also like I said before, you can use rods and stuff as your RPing staff's. You don't need the event item "Sceptre of Lightning Arrow" to RP your character. Just pretend your rod is one or whatever, that is what RPing is all about.

Sidenote: Why am I in your signature? Yes I have an afro in real life, lol.

Don't blame the person for drinking. Alcholism is a disease, and people are addicted to drinking it.

Anyway, as I said, the current lay-out, or system, GK uses is not for Role-playing. They just stuck kingdoms on the server to attract players. I'm just saying that if you want to make the server more RP-based, it will never happen because of imbalances between the RPer and non-Rper, the current setup or the server, etc.

You don't have to be addicted to get yourself drunk once and drive your car against a tree...

Besides, you can "abuse" any system which offers a weapon. No system can force you to rp, and no system can prohibit you from rping. I completely agree with DragonX, and the only thing a reset will do is to drive players away - while the remaining will still be a mix of those who try to rp and those who powergame to do their best to pk and annoy.

Spark put a good word in about me helping Graal Kingdoms and forest like 4 months ago, I fronted Chris and it turned out Tseng was helping....

What is a 'stacked brutal?'

And who said we need to reset the buggy server that was supposed to be reset anyway? Stefan said he would just make another server for people that want a contuniously updated and semi-bug-free environment, while the old server would not be updated as much.

A sack full of brutals, I think?

ok im not going to read it all, but i seen teh first post about you saying RP is almost dead....well Valder i would like to point out the new CP members who cannot RP or do not RP and have been given "permission" not to RP and these aren't just lower members i'm talking higher up members

zell12 · #39 02-10-2004, 10:30 PM

Well, you click on the sake with all the burtals in it and you get sent to all the burtals at once? lol

thelostviking · #40 02-10-2004, 11:31 PM

I dunno exactly what it is but in some events stacked brutals where given out, the main reason for some people being lvl 100.
Plus: there was a alchemy exp bug.

Khallos_2k2 · #41 02-10-2004, 11:45 PM

The alchemy bug was lame...People went from about level 10 to level 21 X.x

haunter · #42 02-10-2004, 11:50 PM

So far, this is what I think will help...

Remove maps
Add more areas, such as dungeons, islands, etc
Have (semi) random monster spawn points
Fix Random Alchemy and re-implement it
All items should be obtainable in some way or another all the time (no limited time offers)

New islands too.

haunter · #44 02-11-2004, 12:02 AM

That's what I meant by new areas.

Satrek2000 · #45 02-11-2004, 01:17 AM

There should be changes, but I'd rather go for the subtle, "small" ones first, or fixes for the existing large ones - not removing them to replace them with new large ones.

As far as Sarid is concerned, the only thing she ever alchemized in a cauldron were balms of first aid and philosophical salt. Also, she never had a sack of stacked brutals, or obtained maps or exp by abusing any bug. Trust me on that (if you're trusting me at all, that is), I was sitting next to her
