I try to..but when you Roleplay and don't have others to Roleplay with, or everyone else around you isn't, it's sort of tough

[Myomoto]

i do, but people get mad at me when i shout my fanatic prayers to Ogma out at their heads :'( So i can't really RP a fanatic priest :'( *sniff* poor me :'( And when i do so and they doesn't get mad they just say "lol!!!!11" or something and start trying to PK me even though i'm not in BM

I roleplay. I'm usually in character. That's why I usually don't talk either. It's rather hard to talk when everyone is freely talking OOC. I try every now and then to roleplay with people who I'd expect to be IC (using kingdom tags).

I'd really like to see better RPing on GK. I even compiled a list of problems (and some examples), with short notes, to decide which kingdom would be the best to join. It's not ment to bash or flame any kingdom or person. It's just what information I've been gathering when looking for a good kingdom to try to join.

Kingdom Problems

Zormite
No longer fish-people (No RP explanation for this)
Freely talk OOC while IC with tag
Members allowed to have inappropriate names (Sentry Juggernaut Grimm)

Dustari
King is not on tag much
Members allowed to have inappropriate names (Citizen AzN ThY, Citizen Spike Kûñîvâ)

Samurai
Members allowed to have inappropriate names (Aacher Teddy)
Shogun neglects his kingdom also
Ranks are poorly set up (Emperor's Daughter, Emperor's Son, Emperors Wife)

Forest
Freely talk OOC while IC with tag
Aran abuses of power

Crescent Pirates
Members allowed to have inappropriate names (Disciple Gothic Flame, Citizen Fire Cookie)
Freely talk OOC while IC with tag (or bad RPing?)

Regardless of what the list says, I think Crescent Pirates (I used to favor Dustari the most, but as of late it seems like Tseng is too busy to be on tag to be involved with things) would be the best place to RP for now. But that's if you want to join a kingdom, which is usually needed to have a house, which helps build up a strong character and make money. Other than that, the best option for RPing is for a bunch of RPers to get together and use a global guild tag on GK.

I'm sure if kingdom leaders were on more often and there were more RP events, people might roleplay more often, or if there was some kind of secret RP admin that rewarded good RPing, people would definately RP more

if i walk up to someone and say "what are ye doin around these parts mate?" they start attacking me. which is my reason for not role playing :]

[-Albus]

The reason I don't roleplay -- nobody else does. If a few people would start RPing, I'm sure it would spark other people into doing it as well.

Graal Kingdoms is supposed to be set in a time after Bomy Moon server. Truly it is hard to see any real connections between the servers, besides similar names to things. Bomies are just monsters you run into, rather weak monsters, and there is no bomy moon to speak of.

On the new islands, the Zormite republic is not ran by fish people, but is ran by a group of people which holds the Zormite people's origin's sacred. Their religious cult is based around the life giving ocean, and are respectful to their neighbors and generally peaceful.

Eh, I enforce Roleplaying names to be required. I am always getting on people about that. I have blacklisted former members for not being able to follow that rule better. "Juggernaut Grimm" I do not see a problem with, but the extent to which one deems acceptable is up to personal opinion. I see how it can be questionable, but that particular name doesnt bother me, so I never asked him to come up with a new one. I have done this with many many others tho...

Taken from the Zormite Republic's membership requirements

C) Agree to use a RP nick with 2 names minimum (ex. Tyrel Dryagite) at ALL times while wearing tag.

Why dont I roleplay?

Umm, anybody knows when I'm on tag, I use (()) for OOC speach, and IC remarks always when IC...

If im not ontag, then, Im usually not rping.

[ZanderX]

Because I don't play.


Owned.

People, you do realize continuing thinking that way is never going to help improve anything. This is one reason why:

"Joe" does not see people role-play and so he chooses not to role-play. "Mike" sees Joe but does not see him role-playing so he does not role-play. "José" does not see Mike role-play so he does not role-play. And so on an so fourth...

I feel that we need undercover role-playing agents in random kingdoms to remind them to role-play properly if they have their tag on, if not then they get banned.

[Kaimetsu]

I roleplay, but I don't want to join a kingdom. Why? Because I don't want to be subject to all the stupid regulations. What's wrong with one-word names?

[MasterNuke]

Talking as my normal self and talking as Archmage are very different... and sometimes it's hard to get ideas through talking like an Archmage...

And to add to that... I haven't found that much of a good person to pass it on to...
