Inactivity in players.

Thank you for letting us know what is wrong with Graal Kingdoms because none of us knew already

If there was more life in kingdoms we could have more wars... and that's what makes me want to log in.

Perhaps you should start managing your Kingdom, or give it away. I don't doubt if you wait long enough someone else will do it for you.

I agree, what is the point of leading a Kingdom if he has a negative attitude towards Graal Kingdoms.

If I get used to the game, Ill try to make a difference, maybe even get a kingdom from someone.

It's hard to organize any kingdom-esqe events when there are no players around.
"Hey, this kingdom event will consist of 2 of your guys fighting 2 of our guys."

4 ppl wow, that's quite a lot... are u sure it ain't 1 vs1.

The last two weeks has been ~20 players a day. With 7 players on in CP, and a few in Zormite and Samurai. It's really sad to me that the only kingdom leaders trying are Romain, and previously Pat. (haven't seen ChaosOrcs go yet, since he just started yesterday).

Give Samurai to Majin, or Napkin. It's sad how inactive Conqueror and all of Samurai besides Majin/Napkin is.

Zormite may do well with ChaosOrc as leader, he's never failed me before. Good guy, recently a bit inactive, but everyones got a life.

I feel like Nullify is acting like we've never had a stable 20 playercount before. We just have to work with what we have.

I feel the need to defend nullify, and present another point of view a majority of you are missing out on.

During the summertime you can say kingdoms had a steadily player count, no? Tell me, where were the epic battles to be done? Only taunting and pointless mouthing with no real planned action to be done.

Why?
What's there to do nowadays, RPing has long been pushed past it's due date by a newer generation and any kingdom wars are really total carp, yes, carp.

I gave up on both gold servers completely, hoping one day administrators log on and see a pathetic player count of 0 on both prized servers and decide to take action.

We as the community have tried countless times over and over to bring back a good server with lots of potential, with no results. It's about time we change our ways of acting. Who's to say that if we all quit the server for a period of time action won't be taken? Who's to say it will? I'm not saying it's going to happen, but I do know it sure does beat trying to revive a server after years of futile effort.

So, to you all who idle on kingdoms and try to make it look good, I don't believe you are helping.
Let the server have a proper burial, move onto another server preferably classic. And than maybe, one day, we'll see the revival of our beloved server.

no

[scriptless]

if i remember correctly.. the em's were pretty active when i was playing a while back.. it's just the players are to lazy to participate.. to them bomboria is just a giant virtual chat room to show off in

[Gothika]

Thats kinda true, they don't want to participate in any event that requires work. They are happy to do raffle, alters and musical chairs but cringe at the sign of a skilled event like sparring or waterglass and never bother with time consuming events like escort NPC and scavenger hunts.

[Felix_Xenophobe]

I'd love to participate in scavenger hunts. Would be pro if you would somehow limit people from just standing in trade buying the items. Make certain monsters drop special items for the scavenger hunt like SMOKEYS EYE (n make it untradable or like god given items) or watever i dont care wat it is as long as you dont have to compete with the people shelling out thousands of dias to win

If the playercount has to be forced (as this thread suggests), then the server is better off dead.

You need to understand though that you're one person. You'd love to do this, as you say, but others do not want to do this.

If we show some motivation, maybe administration will.

Administration is the reason for low player count. TBH, if they are going to steal the entire source from Crossfire, the least they could do is make the source work as intended, or use the most recent source.

I think a major problem with GK is that the economy. Crossfire has a vast selection of items and gives players far more player class and race combinations. Not to mention, metalforge has had individual skill levels, beyond the skill "categories" and a 115 level cap for years.

I think the bottom line is, if they want to rip off an open source game, at the very least rip it off properly.
