The same exact conditions would exist on a purple server. You'd still die if you went afk, you'd still be never safe. Unless you're talking about adding safe zones which would be a bad idea imo. The fact of the matter is you have a better chance at being left alone on a red server than a purple one. On red, people generally have to think if they want to kill you. Here, more times then not you're gonna die, but at least (assuming you're unguilded/unaffiliated and have a clean history) the thought of "I'm not going to kill this person" enters their mind. Purple servers (assuming hardcoded teams) there is no thought...you just kill them.

ill explain. the type of "purple" server i am talking about would be teams based on cities. that would create areas of the game where you know you will be moderately safe, as the adjacent zones will probably be filled with others from your team and if someone from the opposing team were to cruise through, the defending team's chat would most likely buzz (teamdefensechannel) and a hit squad would come to eliminate said target. sure, going afk at KC zoneline might end you in a death, but if you were to go afk in or near your starting city then there wouldnt be much of a chance that someone would have traveled all that way for a kill. on red, since its free for all, anyone running by could kill you.
that being said, i have no idea how to prevent people from switching to a toon on a different team in order to grief, but thats a different issue entirely and one of the main arguments against a teams server. shitty players.
cross-team grouping should be allowed, not sure about guilds.
sorry to rant, but i think this idea could work well, if only i could explain it correctly (retareded).
