You have to want it by yourself, and you can encourage others.

You make a strong statement, but you said it yourself. “The whole thing gets messed up if you add players to it;” that should not be so, and your treading on the aged subject that is not at fault. You can blame it on everyone there, but it’s just not that easy to patent that thought.
See, Graal Kingdoms is made as a materialistic world, and is viewed as such. When you ask us to RP on it, we need the system to work with us, because it makes the exhilaration to play; and with the things that have been brought to Graal Kingdoms are features that will NOT be used because it takes more time than it is necessary. Some people may not want to Role-play, but you cannot place that as the twisting fate of Role-playing’s downfall.
It’s been made easier to just go around doing the things this server bountifully provides: killing monsters. Graal 2001 was light-hearted and was easy to role-play in. Diplomacy ruled its sovereign gates. Why? Graal Kingdoms is not fun without using this power we’ve worked hours to gain, and everyone ha different stats.
Another brooding problem is the fact that classes aren’t here anymore. You can make yourself to be 20/20/20/20/20/20…so that it doesn’t matter. The walls of classes have been brought down, leaving us with “what books can we start off with.” We would have more of a united server, if partying was needed for a lot more than just a Lord, but since everyone has Piety, Melee scrolls, and Woodlore, you don’t need to party. You heal yourself, attack the monster, and ID your items.
You can put idealistic things like, “We just need the role-players to get together,” but you can’t blame it for everything.
