By fighting massive elite trained samurai's with thier shovel?), maybe using mailboxes more would have a more wide "RP" effect:
Dear Grettal,
We'll be having a Punk'n & Rum festival near the entrance of the castle for my 5th year of leadership. We'll be having the most pleasent of the feasts, along with a couple Jester's to heighten your mood for your hardship you had on the farm. Alongside, if you could provide us with a couple of punkins for the festival, I'd be willing to buy you them at 10 platium coins each.

Such things would promote, and warn people about events. Festivals and Celebrations are a much more easily "RPed", seeing as people are not only showing thier bull-strength, but also the "characterist" properties a character has (Intellegence, Charisma, and Wisdom).
I had to spend about thirty minutes for someone to ask me 200 plat seeing my barbarian couldn't count (And stupider then that, he told me he was a wizard... Now, as a barbarian, I hate magic for the sheer reason I don't understand it, but I did as if I didn't hear it). Finally he managed to just say what I had in brackets (Using weight to tell how much money he wanted... T'was about 20 lbs of plat, I think... My barbarian gave him more or less the ammount).
As for Administators doing that? I don't know how they'd help. Least they could do is host Events, which can be done by the Event Team. The kings of the kingdoms must work together, and untill then, I don't know why Graal Online should get some people do support RolePlaying. The people are constantly showing that they'd rather go do 20 brutal maps then have a decent "RP" Community.

The truth is that this stuff is NOT going on. Roleplaying admins could make sure this stuff is going on. In addition, as for stuff that requires development, they could tell the staff what's needed and see their way through it that it be done. Also, you're giving just giving examples of BIG MOMENTS of RPing (events). In addition to this other things are important. A war can bring about plenty of minor RP moments. Let's say you're a newbie, RPing, exploring the world of GK. You come accross a secured Samurai town and there's a townguard on duty. He sees you and tells you to state your business. He'll be unpleased since you have no important business and will ask you to leave because they're in "times of war". But if you go to the Forest and they're currently being peacefull, they'll aide you for your long journey, feed you, heal you, share their wise knowledge with you, and set you on your way to the Zormites who should be just as or almost as wise and helpfull. Noone else in the game knows this is happening, but this newbie is having RPing fun...
As for war, EVERYONE can participate in war. Farmers are affected. Farmers have to harvest food. Food is very important. Let's say Dustari is having war against Zormite on Zormite's land. Dustari's farmers need to send food over to the foreign island to aide their soldiers. And let's say Samurai is allied with Zormite. Zormite's food-farms and supplies are being destroyed by Dustari so Samurai sends food to a "safe zone" (place that Dustari's soldiers have not reached yet...) on Zormite and keeps them running...
Or before a planned battle, you have a festivel to get the soldiers motivated and food is needed for that. Or you can even create a bigger-involved story from farmers. A Samurai farmer's crops are gone one day and the farmer wants the situation to be investigated. Word has it that Dustari people came by and stole all these crops. Samurai is upset, wants the debt repaid. Dustari won't repay, so a war begins. It turns out that the pirates really took the crops and had someone lie for them. While Samurai is setting a full-force attack to Dustari, pirates come through the other side of Samurai and get them while they're weak and make their crews wealthier.
