... The point is, the people on GK are too immature to actually handle "losing", or even think of "RP" circumstances.
As for Game Mechanics, they play a great role in the game. You once said to me that the game itself is what is actually happening, in which we didn't need to use PMs IC, seeing all the actions we do in game is actually what our character is doing: Thus saying, if a person has a speed of 6.3 and is royally going accross the whole world, then that is into consideration that he took 4 seconds to cross main. Likewise, if the game mechanics permitted such a speed, then therefore they presume that the character in person has the ability to do such things as a RP Character. => If a character has +10 on all his items, and 26 IWDs on his sword, then I presume that his character has the capibility of using such items, seeing as the character using items which boasted his speed to 6.3 is IC.
If the Game Mechanics wasn't set to such an absurd quantity, then our in game characters wouldn't be so much of supernatural beings. There is nothing anyone can do, atlast. Seeing too much people would complain, Graal Online couldn't afford a readjestment of the server, and seeing players AREN'T willing to give up there overpowered equipement, then you are in a deadlock.
The ONLY way out, as I see it, would be creating a twin sister in which the people who WANT to roleplay goes there... However this would require a lot more effert: They'd have to fix the ways in which players abuse... I see the most liable way to fix it in a shot would be removing any "enchantments", except the prayers for weapons, in which they'd be given higher expectencies. Saying such, there wouldn't be SUCH a big differance between a Mitheral Armor, and a Golden Armor.
To start with, there would have to be a limit to RARE armor... Maybe have it so that each kingdom would have a mitheral (5 in total), in which the King would usually wear. The other armor's building rates would be highered, making it harder to build a certain type of armor, and making it so that there would actually be a differance between a silver warrior armor, and a gold armor.
Erm... As you see... Most of the problems are Mechanic...
Graal Fixes = Players Will + Fixes to Current System
Without one another, you are doomed to go back in stone age.
-- I am tired. I may have stumbled upon myself a few times, but I think my general message is passed.
RP Admins can only increase the Player's Will, they can't do much about Mechanical problems. As for equipement, if a kingdom has more smiths then others, then they should have more...
Damn man... I've been ratting myself too much!
I could easily intergrate all this into my server! I'm excited... Erm! Erm!... I got to go! CIAO!!!!
Erm... Right... ENJOY!
