So instead of simplistic responses there should be a constructive forum on how to improve roleplaying in GK.
On the front of CP and roleplaying, I do think that it could be more fun if they engaged in piracy more often, it was easier in GP day when CP struck fear with good reason into all the kingdoms. Today, the other kingdoms are all pretty strong and can't be so easily threatened, but some good skirmishes would be a nice idea.

Game mechanics only affect so much, yes, the game was better for RP when everyone was about level 5, but let's consider this, that's because they had no other options, brute force was unheard of, now, there is an option, because people are more powerful. If people wanted to roleplay, they would have to have the willpower to choose the less popular option, that is, to roleplay, the pace of the game picked up when people stopping having to struggle to acomplish anything, it picked up to the point were no one stopped to smell the flowers, so to speak, to enjoy their surroundings, now their only drive is to be better killers. So, I suggest that all kingdoms outcast powerplayers, anyone who's primary motive is to get the better weapon, and have the best armor, etc, people who standing around the marketplace buying diamonds to prep the infernos and the hammers and the FIDs, rather than going out, and being content with an unprepped weapon.
Do you really think it takes -50 or more WC to kill T-Rex? Pfft, no way, the only reason you would actively seek more than -30 wc is if you were a powerplayer bent on PK, because beyond -30, it's redundant, same goes for AC, -30 and you're not going to be getting hit by much of anything. I am talking these being maximums, if people lose the challenge and the struggle, they get lazy, and they become what we see today.
I've seen alot of innocent noobs who had more RP potential and common sense than all the server's oldbie power players combined. I challenge the entire GK server to take off their RoWs, RoS, RoC, whatever, and all thier PMoP, and Event this, and event that, and put it in a bag and store it for later, then take a week or so, and try playing from scratch, don't reset your character, but I mean, just as far as items, and play tendencies, try to go out and work for your own things, rather than waiting around the trade room for good deals, go mine and craft yourself a weapon, put a +1-2 blessing on it, then go struggle for a while, smell the flowers, look around. Alot of times, the simplest life is the most fullfilling.
