As far as the "wipe red" and "diety change RP quests" ideas go, you all have inspired a couple gears to turn in my head, and come up with something truly interesting sounding (at least to me). Team-based PVP server, like Sullon Zek, but slightly different than anything seen before... Hear me out, I think this could be really freaking cool:

1: There will be 3 'Teams' or 'sides' - Good, Neutral, and Evil.
1a. Unlike Sullon Zek, the neutral team will be the true pacifists, and are not flagged to be able to engage in PvP. The real struggle is a battle between good and evil, and neutral people just do not want to get involved with killing each other (or do not want to do it anymore...).
1b. The 'Good' team will be those player characters that worship Erollisi Marr, Karana, Mithaniel Marr, Prexus, Rodcet Nife, Quellious, The Tribunal, and Tunare.
1c. The 'Evil' team will be those player characters that worship Bertoxxulous, Brell Serilis, Bristlebane, Cazic Thule, Innoruuk, Rallos Zek, Solusek Ro, and Veeshan.
1d. The 'Neutral' team will be those player characters that are Agnostic. (Agnostic would need to be enabled as an option for every legitimate race/class combination)

2: Team members can do RP based quests to either follow or unfollow a deity, and can effectively change teams.
2a. Any time a deity is picked, including at character creation, a lockout timer begins counting down from 336 hours (2 weeks) of played time, or 672 hours (4 weeks) of real time, before a deity change can take place (again). This would be in place to prevent too much team-swapping.
2b. The difficulty/complexity of these quests will vary based upon level range. **Possible Examples, open to ideas/suggestions**: under level 30, you may change your deity (or go Agnostic) by simply handing in your Tome of Order and Discord to a Priest of Discord, and can simply re-pick. After that, someone level 30-49 must complete a larger, more dangerous run-around quest, and receive a "Greater Tome of Order and Discord", and can again simply re-pick who they follow. Anyone level 50+ has to do a legitimately difficult/drawn out quest in order to change which deity they follow, or to go Agnostic, which quest would be very specific to your deity of choice.
2c. Players may only follow deities that they would normally be allowed to select at the character creation screen (with some possible exceptions for balance? Further discussion needed...) and of course allowing all players to be agnostic if they so choose.
2d. Characters will not be able to group with anyone that is not on their Deity Team. Characters will not be able to invite someone to join their guild that is not on their Deity Team. Beneficial effects can not be used on members of another team.

Lastly: Wipe Red, reboot with this underlying ruleset, and keep pretty much the rest of Red's ruleset. Red would be a lot more fun with A: a reboot, and B: a more fun ruleset like this. I remember back on Sullon Zek, some instances of needing to depend on certain team-mates who were were (at the time) in guilds I didn't particularly care for, and ended up making some good friends out of it. Team pvp creates a new level of hard-coded inter-dependency, which makes for a really fun, dynamic, and even immersive experience.
