A third type of server, something between PVE / PVP

[Fleurty 0]

I suggest, a new type of realm where the zones switch between PVP and PVE.

Examples:

Some zone could switch between PVP/PVE in a 3 hour cycle. While other zones could last 24 hours before it switch.
Some zones is connected in a cluster, so they switch together, or relate to eachother.
Some zones count the amount of player-kills (?) and switch to PVE after the number of kills is reached, and a cooldown is started (while another zone that is connected to this one, is switched to PVP).
If there was a way of counting the completed quests in a zone within x time, that could also be used as reference for shorten the time before a zone switch (PvE<>PvP).
Some zones would not change at all (and always be PVP. Like STV).

That is just examples, but you get the idea.

I think like this, because there is a lot of ganking going on in zones, where it can come to a point you want to go to an alternative place that time/that day. And where there might not be an alternative, because there is ganking "in just every zone". (Except for the alternative to change to a whole new server.)

I experiance honor-ganking in WPL at the questgiver-place, Burning steppes, and Searing Gorge. And where 3-4 level 60's farm ungrouped lower level players together constantly in all these zones, and also waiting at the flightmasters to gank incoming players. As for a vanilla-exerience, this feels more like an anarchy-server than a PVP-server, (especially if combine it with killing the questgivers / flightmasters).

But a PVE-server, would also feel to flat, where PVP is also part of the game -alliance vs horde.

So therefore, I suggest to make a third type of server, where PVP instead is ruled by a system, and where zones switch between PVP and PVE. It would feel interesting with a type of realm where PVP/PVE does not feel as static, or a server where PVP-rules is not given away to the players to much, and PVP is instead part of a game-ruling-system. And also give alternatives to players like me that want both PVP and PVE, but where PVE-only is to flat, and PVP is to much player-anarchy.

I don't think the time and effort for this is worth it.

You want to PVP without being ganked? Simple. Roll on Darrowshire and do BG's, like every other person that swings that way.

Elysium servers aim for blizzlike.  Why are you suggesting something blizz never did?

There are private servers out there that do custom content like this, but this clearly isn't one of them.

Not possible.
