And make it so people have to follow basic IC/OOC standards while on tag, making a kingdom tag be something more sacred as it used to be- not just something people wear to look "cool" or to be part of a group, but rather use for roleplaying as was originally intended.

Such a restriction would only have meaning if it were enforced by every kingdom, and I'm not really interested in having such a strong level of restriction as requiring IC/OOC standards the entire time a person is on-tag anyways. I am interested in reviving RPing, but the RP that's revived, if it ever is revived, would need to be a very different kind of RPing than the RPing of the past. RP elitists have associated a lot of things with RPing that really have nothing to do with RPing. In particular, most people who RP now, and perhaps even in the past, RP characters that are pretty much stuffed shirts, and there's a perception that if your character isn't like that too, then you're either not RPing properly or are engaging in some "lesser" form of RPing. It's perfectly legitimate to RP a character who storms Samurai castle and goes "Gokigenyou *****es". When people realize that I think they'll become interested in RPing again.
However, I'm not aiming to become Zormite leader at any time in the near future. For perhaps the first time a kingdom is being led by a "common Graalian" rather than an "elite" and I'm interested to see how that plays out.
