I know something similar has been suggested before but I wanted to elaborate and give an idea of what this would be. First of all, most people who have played a free shard know what server wars is. If you don't, it was, essentially, a time period where suddenly anything went. You could fight anywhere, GMs would spawn random things or set all players' skills to GM skills, etc. Once the period was over, the server rebooted and you'd go back to where you were just before the server wars started, so anything that happened during that time never truly counted.
This would be a completely different concept. Just like the name suggests, this is loosely based on the idea from the film, The Purge. In the movie, it was deemed that one night, ever year, all laws would cease to exist and you could commit crime, including murder, without any punishment. Once the period was over, then everyone would go back to their normal lives. What I am proposing is similar to this.
The idea is that, let's say, once a month, there'd be a Saturday where for a small period of that day (I'm thinking 5 hours), all guard zones, no cut zones, safe zones would go away. Meaning reds could go wherever, fight whoever, whenever. It would be PvP everywhere. It would give incentive for PvPers to have a fun thing to do and show others how fun PvP can be as well as allow non-PvPers to see this huge thing going on and, perhaps, want to join in the fun eventually as well. I know there are issues to all of this and I will address them.
Not Everyone PvPs
While this is true, people who only PvM, crafters, thieves, etc. don't regularly engage in player versus player situation, I still feel this would be a decent event for PvPers to get to partake in. Let's face it, most events on this server are PvM based. This would be a change for PvPers to have a time period (and it's not all the time, it's once a month) to really let loose all they want, wherever they want.
How Is This Different From Server Wars?
Well, this would actually count. Meaning the server wouldn't just reboot and you pick up from where you were before the Purge started, as if it never happened. No, everything would actually count. You kill a bunch of blues and loot all of them, that now belongs to you. You kill a red and stat him, then he's statted.
Zones Going Away
The biggest element to this would be guard zones would completely go away. That means all of them. Anywhere there's guards, they would go away, making fighting anywhere possible. Obviously that is more catered for reds. Well, in contrast, the no cut zones would go away too meaning if a red dies in a no cut zone during this period, he can be statted. And all safe zones would go away, meaning no where is safe is hide (except your own house or a house you're friended to.)
How Would No Safe Zones Work?
Simple, really. The Purge gets broadcasted to everyone an hour before it's set to start. Gives people time to get ready and be prepped that all zones will cease. West Britain Bank is heavily filled with afk players. Once the Purge would commence, any and all players at WBB would be logged off immediately so they wouldn't be killed while afk. Same would go for duel pits, etc. If you're afk anywhere else in town once the Purge commences, you're fair game.
Reds In Town Once Period Ends
When the time of the Purge ends, if a red is still in town and attacks, then he will be guard whacked. Well, just like with the start, once there's only an hour left in the event, it would be broadcasted the Purge will be coming to an end. It gives reds time to get some last fights in but once it's over, if they get guard whacked, then they get guard whacked.
I know this is a lot to read and take in, and I'm not saying there won't be issues and things that come up that need to be addressed, but it's just an idea to float out there. Anyone can put in their input whether they like this idea or don't. I want to hear what everyone thinks. And, obviously, it wouldn't have to be called the Purge, just what this sounded like haha.
TL;DR Server wide period once a month for 5 hours where all guard zones, no cut zones, and safe zones go away for a giant PvP spree.
