New kingdom leaders

[Butz]

I know it's been mentioned a few times in here, but really, even if the kingdom leaders were around more often, what would they do? Sit around trade and talk with the other members? Idly shout "greetings" across toguilds?

The problem is that there really isn't anything for kingdoms to do rather than start wars with each other, which doesn't always happen because people complain about other people overpowering them, or people don't show up, or blah blah blah.

The sad thing is that role playing is all but dead around GK. Back in the early days of GK, it was a whole lot of fun, and there was some sort of consistency as far as the role playing atmosphere was concerned. As time went on, and people started to leave, this fell apart and the best we can get nowadays are ridiculous stories where people are advised to bring a helmet, in case of surprise rock slides inside the tavern.

This can't really be blamed on inactive Kingdom leaders completely though. Part of the problem is that there have been no major world updates to the Graalian Archipelago in a long time. People have literally done everything that there is to do. Haunted houses, treasure maps, and Lord hunting can only keep one busy for so long.

So perhaps there needs to be a reason for people to stick around before we start pointing fingers at those who aren't around all the time.
