HOWEVER... There isn't much of an RP spirit already... Sure, these are good ideas, however not enough people would actaully follow up with it. Farm-lands would be destroy... Well, Farm-Lands... Erm... Let's see... Corn grows in 2 minutes... Erm... Yea, I see how Pirates would be able to go overnight and still the crop that was planted 2 minutes ago, in which the farmer wouldn't see and launch a big war because of the missing corn.
As for Wars, it just won't work... Send one highly boosted AC player, and he can take down the whole kingdom (Talk about heros! Erm... The return of Rambo!). A good knight could kill about 5 soldiers before they kill him... In a war. Not a good knight kill the whole army. As for Gaurds, they can just be there, the newbie's still on peaceful mode, so he doesn't give a **** what the gaurd can do... Kingdom lands should be constantly on Battle Mode. Put it this way: The king comes in land, in peacemode, and goes and takes down the forts walls from the case. He just walks in, going straight to the treasure room, and summons monsters to do his filthy work. The trick is done, he gets the treasure, the gaurds whom specialized into melee attacks wouldn't get anything because the king is untouchible.
Grant you that that is a VERY poor example of Rolepaying, and that the king should be expelled by his kingdom. But **** like that happens, and no one's there to prevent it. I don't play GK anymore... I wanted to RP, but there was nothing much I can do: Last RP Event I played was Valder's Mine Hunt thing in the caves, and I couldn't do anything, reason being, I was a level 1 sorceror praying to brigid, and I wasn't allowed using any magic except Magic Bullet (In which the people there gladly blocked my missiles from even reaching). Sure, it would have been a decent RP Event if I was a level 12 Barbarian, but it so happens that I wasn't.
Erm... I'm done. It's a losing case regardless.

It's been mentioned before, but a special mode where everyone has the same stats, same speed, etc. and can't use any of their own equipment, and instead each kingdom has maybe 10 gold platemails, 20 silver, 25 silver warrior helms, 10 wands, etc. The king could choose who would get what equipment, and then everyone would be fair and equal. Some would have better equipment (being a higher rank in their kingdom), and equipment would have to be handed out in this way, because if every knight got gold plate, silver warrior, etc. then the kings would just set everyone to the same rank. Maybe a special RP admin (like chris was saying) would be able to choose when kingdoms would HAVE to go into this mode, and then when the battlefield is chosen, spells like earth to dust, restoration, create food, and the random seeds and shell bomies would be disabled, and then you would need some people to farm (supply food) and anyone who dies gets kicked off the mode and off the island (i forgot to mention, when the battle /whatever is going on, nobody can enter/exit the area unless they die) and then the battle would go on until one side loses/gives up... and yeah, it would work well that way.
Another thing is the farming. There is the *water* song that speeds up crops. Maybe that can speed it up to the way it is now, and without the song a crop could live forever, and when it was finally harvested it would have huge amounts of whatever... example someone "fast farms" a strawberry into 7 strawberries, or someone takes the longer way, waters it a few times an hour, and in, say, 5 hours they harvest it and get 500 strawberries. Bigger reward and less upkeep, but there is a chance someone could steal it, and would work well for RPing too.

GK does need RP Administration with a bit of rights such as warp player to moderate wars and such. They can also host their own RP events to increase kingdom relations and productivity or so. Their should be around 5 of them to form policies, be easily contacted at just about any time needed, etc. Personally I'd say people like myself, Ziro, Ghost Pirate, Zurkiba and Lance would do a good job.
Hm..other than RP administration I believe FAQ are also neccessary. It wouldn't take much either; just Lance or Jagen to create a local guild "(FAQ)" that doesn't even need to neccessarily go under the staff list nor do they even need many rights if any at all and hire a few trust worthy, experianced players such as DragonX and graaliholic.

About FAQ people: then atleast the newbies would know what to do, since they wouldn't have to ask a random person things like "how much stone do i need for my house?", and would get a response without someone insulting them. (though it's quite annoying when one asks "can you be my friend?"
)
