See that's exactly the sort of thing I want to avoid for DotaQuest I want a flexible server that isn't designed around hefty requirements in order to compete and sporadic enough that no one can easily just dominate and be king of the hill indefinitely.
I really want a different kind of PVE/PVP hybrid experience where it's not simply a case of a player coming along and zerging you or ganking you at low health. I'd like to design a little of that randomness into the PVE as well so it's hard to know what to expect. A group might be planning a gank then get blindsided as a result of a quest turn in another zone.
A lot of PVP/PVE gaming is a bit stale in my eyes and in need of innovation from developers daring enough to step outside the box a bit and try out brash and different new idea's. Some games are bit too linear or predictable and boring due to it.
