I remember making the switch from Normal to PvP realm. I couldn't wait to kill all those allis walking by, instead of having to watch them /rude /spit as they strolled by. And it was fun...but a bit deceiving. For instance, when I strolled into an Alli town, eager to slaughter more Allis, I got in to find about 80% of them not flagged. "huh?" i thought, "why can't I attack them?"
As it turns out, there are areas you can be in that does not require you to be flagged. I was a bit disappointed to find a could not kill allis in their own citys unless they choose to be flagged for it.
So this is my idea for a new realm type, i decided to call it the "
Onslaught
" realm type. In this realm, you can be killed at any time, anywhere by the opposite faction. Think you are safe hanging out in that Storwind Inn having a drink? Or taking a relaxing fishing trip to the Thunderbluff pond? Well, watch your back even there, for a rogue is right behind you, deciding which poisons would kill you most painfully.
To me that would be a true PvP realm, what do you guys think about that?

So the
only
difference is that you're flagged even in friendly zones? Just choose to stay flagged and you've got your server type already done.
Except that doesn't force everyone to be flagged. What if I am flagged but that opposing faction member is not? They can essentially just wait until I turn around and Nuke me, when i could not attack that person first, or at least simultaneously.
and in regards to:
First: Sanctuary Areas should stay Sactuary. For lore reasons, and simple possibility of going AFK without dying all the time.
I was thinking this but forgot to add it in, and agree with the sanctuary rules. If people could fight over Dal, it would turn the city into a neverending gang war for control pretty much.
And as far as Second: Players should either have to have a character of a certain level on another realm to go there, so they're informed and aren't newbies who are going over their heads. it could be stated clearly on the wow website along other realm types what the rules are, so enter if you dare...

I like the idea, but I'm not sure that Blizzard would ever do anything about it.
To my knowledge they've never made a different type of server, its always been pvp/pve with a few that are RP as well, and changing previous game codes for such a small minority of players would probably be too big of a hassle for them to even think about.
Well idk. I'm no game designer.
But I'd definitly join if they decided to make some ;)

It's a cool idea... But... Maybe that should only apply to max level or something? At least you should have to be, say, 20+for permanent flag. If you could attack anyone, anywhere, then you'd have horde players camping Northshire and allies ganking in Mulgore. This would make leveling so unpleasant that no one would go to these servers. Plus, since friendly 80's would no doubt protect starting areas, it would quickly escalate until all world pvp was concentrated in starting zones. You'd come to capitals and they'd be mostly empty... Not that fun.
So it's cool in theory but would definitely need some limits.
One of WoWs most appealing and fun aspects that drew me in to it was World PvP, which is all but dead (WG excluded.) If it did provoke all out war, then to battle! LOK'TAR OGAR! FOR THE HORDE! only another reason why it would be cooler.
