I understand your wish to go back to the past as it was something you evidently participated well in. It is far beyond my conprehension however, how you might be considered constructive regarding todays kingdom.

Gryffon, we all wish to live in yesterday at some point in life - but it is in the present that we live. Building a Kingdom to fit the present, as most people are in the present, is the major concern. It's faults we try to work on....but, not by saying the Kingdom stinks - rather by saying, we can make it better. It is like 'a cup half full and a cup half empty' if you understand that concept.

I would like to think optimistically in that Dustari can and will survive the critics and become once again a kingdom of prosperity and happiness amongst its people. I feel it is a matter of attitude and the ability to "want" to make things better rather than destroy.

As to Royalty, Padren and I are both seeking a qualified candidate to take the throne in the future. Several are being considered. Unfortunately, Anastasia could not deal with those who would criticize her attempts to build.
She mentioned to me that people want to be leaders, but when they so become, they "poop out" or better words, they sit back and do nothing. The biggest problem exists in those who want to be leaders without responsibility. Solve that and we solve the universe

Queen Zoe Sagesun, Dustari
Amazing, I came to you wanting to help you and what do you do? You call me a Racist. You call me a Woman Hater. You make up lies about me. Then you start to harass me and try to pk me with your summoned monsters when I am in peaceful mode.

You never did answer the question about roleplaying there. I hardly doubt a leader should run around going "LOL IT'S A GAME!" when someone is actually trying to roleplay with you.

You mention that you are ignoring the past to make a kingdom in the present. Last I heard the Dustari of the Past held 70% of all the roleplayers, owned Zormite, controlled Antora, and destroyed the Pirates, Elfs, Orcs, and even got Royality in the Samurai ranks. Maybe instead of making it YOUR way, which is failing I might add, why dont you LOOK back on history and ask for the help of people such as Gryffon, Tupper, and myself. We all led Dustari back when it had the statements which were said above.

Royality. I hardly call the Talisan and Sagesun families royality. That is just my own personal opinion. Both families are not of royal blood. Both families are simply thieves of the throne.

Dustari has a larger impact then you think it does. The current system has already ruined Zormite.

Funny, when I was a kingdom leader I roleplayed wars. Last month I remember getting on a boat with the Forest Members to retrieve some Forest Wands from the Pirate Island that they had stolen.

People dont understand that if you do not have wars then Roleplaying dies. The Golden Era of roleplaying on Graal Kingdoms started at the beginning of Alpha till the end of Astri. Which makes GK at the declining end of the golden age.

It seems that Forest has managed to combine RPing and a certain level of powerplaying. They won't allowed more than 100 members - and these are quite select members. Not every Jack could/can join Forest.
I believe that Forest is going on the right way, and all the other kingdoms are slowly succumbing. Which I don't mind. Perhaps if the RPing on GK has improved somemore, I'll comeback. Until then, hell no.
Exactly, I taught Chris how to lead a roleplaying Kingdom. Chris will roleplay and he knows to select a leader whom will roleplay.

Quite opposite in Dustari and Zormite where they just pass it on to the highest female.

Again, you dont know how to search. I came to Dustari's doorstep the other day wanting to help but Noo. Zoe simply wants to keep her little guild and her little guild house as that, a guild.

Dustari will rise again, yes this is true. Sadly it wont happen anytime soon and at the current rate Dustari is going, and I hardly call recruiting 20 level3294832423432s the rise of Dustari.

Graal Kingdoms is flawed, the kingdom leaders seem to hate me. As when I go to them for help they just say stuff like 'AND IT"S YOUR POSITION HOW?'. They say that stuff when I tell them that they need to teach such and such how to roleplay because he's running around screaming 'ne1 gotz 1 of thos hamerz?' or something along those lines.

I have reported many people of decent rank whom can not roleplay. I've reported kingdom members who abuse bugs. What have the kingdom leaders done? Nothing but yell at me.

We can only look to Graal3D for redemption.
