As long as powergaming exists in Graal Kingdoms, RP won't work. It is as simple as that.

But to explain it a bit further... Take previous instances of how RP worked in Graal 2001... Getting hit hurts. You cannot beat someone with numbers, just manuvers. Fights like that are unpredictable and risky. Everyone is on an even level playing field and you fighting 3 people has a great chance of you being turned into Graalian Goo. Now on to present day Graal Kingdoms... two players encounter each other and regard each other as strangers. But player A is level 45 and right clicks player B to check his stats. Player B is level 15. Player A goes to player B and hacks him(with a weapon... not comp hacking) to death, ignoring everything he says because he stronger.
Because player A leveled up a bunch and really doesn't care about anything else except making his guy stronger, beating up player B just made him feel that his efforts were worth his time and he levels up more and beats up more people.

I'm prolly gonna get royally screwed for saying this... but the most recent Dustari raid on Kurenai (like a few months ago) is good proof of this. We were all landing on Samurai island and attacking it. Then "foxyrain killed loveableNalle...". Alright... something definitely wrong as I see the Queen and the Dictress(Wren) both smack in the middle of the battlefield. Then the war ended. That was like less than a half hour. Why did the rest of Dustari have to come if the high level women of royalty just ran into the center of the fray and beat up everyone for us? That whole instance pretty much killed off the rest of my will to RP on Graal Kingdoms.


Well to restate my intro sentence... powergaming kills RPing.
