RVR Etiquette Question - Phoenix Freeshard

I saw the post on 1v1 etiquette but it didn't seem like there was a specific policy recognized by the server admins. Does that mean Red = Dead is ok? I love the look of the server and all the changes but it comes down to the community really.

Trying to start over (me, wife, brother, father). My whole family played on igraine and at ToA moved to classic and on both servers people generally thanked us for adding. It wasn't until Uthgard that people yelled at us for helping-- to the point where every friendly would die in clumps because no one was helping one another-- and 8 mans wouldnt help on retaking keeps because it wasn't 8v8 -- but then enemies (that the 8mans wanted all along) would swoop in and clean us out. It felt toxic and isolating, demoralizing to see friendlies watching you die or getting yelled at for saving someone's life. We didn't last on that server, a lot of people confused fair play and realm pride for elitism. Is that going to happen here?

I will be a mixed bag. Solo, duo small man elite 8v8, casual 8v8, 16 slots, and zergs. There's not a right or wrong way to do it, and that's part of the what makes the game great. B

The devs don't take a stance on how the game should be played, beyond don't help the enemy.

R Be the change you want to see in the world. Play the way that is fun for you.

There will be a lot of solos/groups that won't be interested in adding sooo fights or smaller groups because they play for the competition and enjoy fair play, which give those smaller groups the opportunity to find a fair and fun fight. Or because they don't want to be engaged with 1 enemy and not ready for the full group that is near by.

On the flip side there will be tons of peoples who are RP hungry that will run from larger and equal numbers while swarming lower. Ultimately leading to them logging off or quitting all together. When done constantly this hurts the server population as a whole.

I'm someone who wants to solo, wants to get fun 1v1 fights, or even some 1vX fights that I can pull off. I agree with the above and I won't ever yell at someone if they add my fight. I will say, it's super cool when an 8 man of the enemy realm doesn't insta-kill you.
