Were there cultural differences between servers on live?

Saryrn used NFP too, "selling a bag of stuff at the bank, open trade window to inspect!" [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

On Tallon Zek, by the time I started playing (Kunark), the major markets were OT for evil races and Gfay for good races, and it was sometimes hard to get a hold of items that predominantly dropped in "good" territories if you were buying in OT, and likewise for "evil" territory drops in Gfay. There were some dungeons that were primarily occupied by evil races and some by good races, and then some that were always contested (Guk comes to mind).

When I started playing on the server, cross-teaming was very frowned upon, at least between good ("lighties") and evil ("darkies") - it was trolls, ogres, DEs, and iksars vs everyone else for the most part. It wasn't until Pandemonium was formed from a merger of lighties and darkies that the walls started to come down, then it became guild vs. guild basically.

One thing I noticed on Tallon Zek is that we called Golden Efreeti Boots "eboots" pretty much exclusively from what I remember. I had no idea what GEBS were when I first started playing on P99.

Tholuxe Paells was NFP, at least back in 2000 when I started. Always weirds me out a bit to see the bank area empty.

I tried all 3 pvp servers (well 4 counting Sullon but training does not = pvp to me and I quit that one quickly) and I stuck with Vallon due to the overall attitude of the server. VZ first developed loot n scoot (player driven not gm driven), people seemed to have more honor in pvp, the overall shit talking was so much lower. it wasn't until people exploited cross teaming that finally ruined it.
Rallos was just a blue server where you could get ganked and lose your gear by "pks". Tallon seemed to have more of a "SZ before there was an SZ" attitude. I believe they started crossteaming much earlier than VZ and Pandemonium ruled with an iron fist by any means necessary.
On VZ I started as a lightie but switched to the darkies because being the underdog was fun and attacking anyone not on your team was much more fun than these strange RZ like lightie alliances where you could still get ganked by people you thought were on your team (why I like hard coded teams so much better than FFA pvp)

From my memories of Kunark-GoD on Mith Marr:
Auction was NFP until Bazaar went live.
Lots of PUGs used 200-300 for /ran.
Afterlife and Forsaken Realm (distant #2) ran the raid scene, but I was never close enough to even contend.
