It brings a smile to face just thinking about the initial beta/prelude days of L2. Talking Island (human starter area) zerged with hundreds of lvl 1-20's. Running to the elven ruins and seeing a red name...oh no...run away...then you run into other people and end up with a train of 15 people chasing after this guy with a red name in hopes you'll all kill him and get his gear. Or going in the Elven Ruins (kind of like an instance, except everybody is in the same one...its a different loading zone. Hearing "TRAIN!!!!!" then looking out in the hallway and seeing some guy run away with 20 mobs on him. 30 different people fighting for mobs over the Sword of Solidarity quest, fighting and flagging on each other when someone tries to steal a mob. Going back to the village to see 20 more people at the main gate, fighting each other and running back in the town when low on HP, trying to get people to PK and drop gear.
Some of the most fun I've ever had in a mmo...but yeah in a faction based game sometimes the start can suck, because of chat (the barrens) and nothing you can do against your own faction
