Something I envy RED for...

For those that remember, the very early days of rallos zek were very heavy on roleplay going hand in hand on who you grouped with or attacked. A lot of that fell by the wayside as time goes on, just as it has here on red99. Has more to do with what happens to servers as they age more than anything. Race to the bottom with only the slime left on top, after they have "griefed" off everyone else for the "lulz"

But yes there are specialized toons made around a concept, and then go out into the world and fight for their faction/homeland, whatever. Most def pvp adds to RP.

My dream server? a hybrid of Firiona vie and Sullon zek servers.

The reason early Zek had a feeling of role playing for you wasn't because of the player base or time period. It would happen with any new game where there are not prior relationships among players. When a group of people are new in any setting and pitted against people they find the first reason to ostracize others for survival. You pick out the race that is different and everyone of the same race gangs up. It is an easy way to build a sense of team work on the spot when no prior knowledge of the players exist.

Later as relationships, reputation, and greed for pixels build the player races mean nothing and people find ways to segregate themselves into groups by common long term goals.

Giving the server credit for having a mature player base or the game creators for creating a game with this amazing phenomenon is delusional and just you hyping up a game you enjoyed a long time ago.

this is also the reason why red is as it is

pixel-frustration builds up, only the true neckbeards keep going at it, and they are hit hardest by it

a wipe would be a good way to force them to let go what happened on orc hill 4 years ago

Red is just too hardcore as it is already. As a new player you're 99.9% bound to quit once you make it into your 50s. No need to make it even more hardcore.

It's hardcore because PvP is basically only used to ruin people's PvE experience and no real fun fighting people with no consequences so the person with the most time to burn wins. Not a fun setup.

Hard teams are likely to be the same. Maybe if it was 1 toon per up address and bans for being caught trying to circumvent and randomly assigned teams and no character deletion / re rolling?

Seems far fetched but if any choice is involved I think it would devolve quickly there needs to be lots of changes to make a PvP server better than what we have and frankly with our pop I really think it needs to be classic era only with item loot to encourage all kinds of PvP once the PvE is maxed out. Classic PvE content is totally beatable and does t have tons of all all stuff that requires permanent raiding. It will give people more time to fight each other for fun or gain.
