I mean like a new instance of Gemstone where there is no legacy player base. Everyone has to start by rolling a new character. The ladder season lasts only so long, like say a year, at which point your character moves from that ladder server into the Prime server with the general population. Imagine at the start of the season everyone is hunting rats together. Nobody has access to 10x sick weighted gear. It’s a competition for the top players who can achieve the highest level / most fame by the end of it, and a unique experience for everyone.
