I too am a paying/donating player of RK and have played for nearly 2 years. One of the best things about the game is the interaction that you get to have with the other players in the forums either about the family, friendships, romances and of course the politics. However! It has reached the point you can't say or do anything without receiving a forum ban for whatever reason they like to find. It has turned into forum administrative and censor team micro-management EXTREME. Once banned, forget having any appeal you may have looked at seriously, I contacted one of the creators on several occasions with proof that my most recent ban was unwarranted and only received one short reply back that did nothing to help me in the least. For it to be considered a "role-playing" game when people more times then not people are banned from the forum, there is no role-playing to be done. So I've decided to take my complaint about the forum functionality and governing to another level by registering on sites such as this and creating a petition (http://www.petitiononline.com/rk1pg/petition.html) in the hopes of getting things changed by the creators. We'll see if it happens, more then likely, I'll end up eradicated from the game entirely for speaking out the truth about how it is being run.
