SZ had some very advantageously hardcore mechanics going for it that were seemingly not considered for R99:
No Play Nice Policy: players are more invested in a game they can feel like they can make a difference in, as opposed to being constantly hobbled by some fairyland ruleset that causes GMs to come rushing to the aid of the bluest of the players. Take care of business yourself or GTFO.
No Artificially Limiting Level Range for PvP: God, this just makes no real sense. You have a plethora of problems that come along with it, such as OOR healers, groups haphazardly engaging, exploiting the utterly nonintuitive system.
Last but not least, Teams: gave players something bigger than themselves to be a part of without the punishment of having to be in a (dumbfoundingly stupid) player-run guild. Teams fomented grouping, PvP, and most of all, community.
