Now some of us that has played in alpha remember LoD (Labyrinth of Death) but for those that didn't play alpha let me describe what LoD was. When a newcomer became citizen they translucated into a noobot. at which point a global message went out telling all the players that a newcomer became citizen. They then had to go into LoD to get to Sar. Upon entering LoD another message went out telling everyone so and so enter LoD and countdown had stated. You had 30 minutes to get to one of the pads at the end of the labyrinth full of mobs and twist and turns or you exploded. Now you could travel this as a noobot but what usually happened is the new citizen had been set up to meet another player in LoD that was called a courier. They would pick up the noobot and try to deliver the noobot to the pad and if suceeded they would global and get a scout check.
Naturally LoD was PvP and when the global went out that a noobot was about; Couriers raced to LoD. Battles ensued teams where made. There was adrenaline, excitement, death, team work feeling of accomplishment. and at the end of the run people said congrats even hunted together after they had just tried killing each other. Now not all the time there was some bad blood between some players. But LoD gave players the added excitement that was lacking in the rest of the game.
I think this should be brought back in Survival. It sure couldn't hurt it. Survival needs some excitement in a very bad way. I don't recall seeing anything about LoD from the devs in survival but I could be wrong. Just saying would be nice to have some fun like this again.
