Graal does have somewhat a quality control, it makes the playerworlds people buy, in private mode, they shouldnt expect much from those, although some players have some skill in developing, and... some don't. Most players don't know what to do with their ideas, and have trouble finding others to help them out, as it is, I think there are far too many playerbaught worlds for there to be enough people with vip/gold subscriptions to be as staff on the newer ones anyway...
However, I have noticed the quality level drop on average around most public classic server's content aswell (removing a lot of decent things, changing management far too often, starting projects and never finishing them, then eventually quitting, and also leaving known bugs unattended), and the quality of staff aswell (Not helpful, lazy, no motivation from superiors).
Not to mention, Graal Kingdoms has some of the worst lag known to graal... (most likely do to playerhouses) yet it's content is pretty nice; most servers don't balance out like this.
As for the graal kingdoms stuff, lower the exp recieved from PKs, and people talk about the lack of RPing all the time, I say all of those who posted about that, find out who else does it, and stay with them; find as many more people as you can and keep them together. If a very large group of people go and rp together, openly in masses and in public, not just in toguilds, I'd think others might join in, with the exception of those that might try and ruin your fun... Get the kingdom leaders together, maybe they have some ideas... anyways, I'm still new to kingdoms, accept or shun my thoughts, they are just here... I'm in a typing mood also, can you tell?
