I played on both RZ and SZ and both servers ruleset had its charm. I liked the "make your own alliances" aspect of RZ and I loved the "roleplay/diety" alignment aspect of SZ.
The other two servers, VZ/TZ had what looked to me from the outside looking in, the most retarded ruleset of them all. Gnome SK and Halfling Paladins on the "same team" ok whatever.
Diety/Alignment teams make far more sense then VZ/TZ ruleset.
The whole thing about Evil team on SZ getting so far advanced had a lot to do with the failure of good/neut team. In a three way contest, if one side gets too far ahead, the two weaker sides should of joined forces to hold them in check. This never happened on SZ. I guess it sounded good on paper when designing the ruleset, but did not pan out that way.
SZ ruleset would work very well though, on a server that stops in Velious (like this one.....) Of course the devs would have to find a way to limmit peoples new accounts, or everyone will have several acccounts on all three teams.. (this is something I hope they address in general anyways, the whole "lol im banned, let me open up a dozen more accounts then" syndrom.
