Ah, yes. Yes I am.
I assumed everyone was.

Nupe, normal Hell for me. Thanks anyways. Maybe I'll change later.

Pack up and get out of nofunallowedmoo and mosey down to hatemoo.

Flaky as in everyone does speed runs with shotgun + flamethrower + freeze grenades and leaves their teammates to die when they fall behind?

Everyone tries to do a speedrun and die when they run too far from their team.

There's a pay-to-play MMO called Mortal Online. It's basically a mix of Haven&Hearth and Elder Scrolls 3. Its skill system very much forces you to specialize: it's almost impossible to be both a high-level warrior and a miner, for example (though you can have three characters, IIRC). Guilds are very important because of this, so you'll have the miners who get the ore, the warriors transport it to the smelters, who refine it, and then they move it to the weaponsmiths and / or armorsmiths, who then actually make something. It's very long and overcomplicated, and I didn't particularly like it, but its fanbase seems to be pretty diehard. Probably worth checking out.

Oh, yeah, you can kill any player, anywhere except for the major cities (which have guards who will instapwn you if they see you commit a crime). I remember I once had to help my outlaw clanmate get into town so he could withdraw money from his bank, but any player who noticed him would have attacked him on sight. He had me hold his good stuff and he had me give him my newbie clothes. Nobody would check the noob, he figured. It was quite amusing.

That's news to me; the army prefer to use blanks and the MILES system in this country, less chance of accidental injuries. Anyway, I'll look into it. Wax bullets might be useful as less-lethals for the fortress guard as well as practice rounds, but I'm not sure ordinary beeswax in a black-powder musket would be as successful.
