It keeps you constantly spamming /who, scrolling out and looking around, etc. Being on edge the second you see some unknown name enter the zone. Who is he? What level is he? Is he friend or foe?

This is what made the launch so exciting [despite the 10000 fuck ups], and kept me playing.

What is not particularly exciting is scheduled tournaments, and arena EQ. This is not a great PvP game for that format. These garageboxes that try to make EQ into counterstrike: kaladim edition are missing the whole point of what makes EQ PvP great to begin with.

My 2 shekels.
RoZ is trying to recreate something similar to red. Even though beta and may change the exp rate is slower than red99 right now. There isn't much custom stuff on the server outside of things like resists, pvp item loot rules, anti plug, 20 min lockout from raid zone on pvp death unless rezzed to avoid bind rushing, etc. and it is aimed to recreate the scenarios you describe.
