People no longer launch attacks much anymore because there's no reason to, and people only roleplay on GK nowadays so that they can say, "Hey, look. We're roleplaying!!" If you don't believe me, go look under Bel'la's threads at the thread called, "Bel'la Olplyn not inactive." The whole server's become paranoid, and it's very irritating. If kingdoms are going to roleplay, they don't need to make big announcements. They just need to shut up and do it. When I still played on here, I never announced to the entire server that I was checking up on how kingdom leaders were doing and if they needed any help. I just went directly to them and didn't really say much else about it. I mean, really. How hard is it for a king or queen to set up a roleplaying event? It's not like they require elaborate planning. You could say something like "(Insert name) is being knighted today. Those of you who wish to attend the ceremony are welcome to join in the celebrations" to your kingdom members, and guess what? You've created a roleplaying event without saying, "LOL WE R GUNNA AR PEE 2DAY KKS GUYS?!" Hell, Samurai could even have some kickass events if they wanted to. Be creative. There could be events like occasional harvests, new member training, town raising, building up defenses, construction of naval forces, rank award cemonies, inter-kingdom drills, (As opposed to all-out battles.) retellings of legends, and a whole lot more, but instead I just see kingdom isles empty now for the most part, and lots of people idling on main saying, "I IS ONLIEN ISE ACTIV." It's revolting.
