After watching the roundtable discussion in full, I have a few of suggestions:
1) Forget all the talk of "keeping it classic." If you really want to attract more players, make the best custom EQ PvP server that has ever existed. Nerf items or tweak resists as needed, but please do whatever it takes to design the best damn EQ PvP server ever. Otherwise, this is nothing more then a wipe where we can transfer our characters after 6 months has elapsed.
2) Balanced teams. I know this is likely obvious, but on VZ some of the race based teams were so disadvantaged not having particular classes available. I personally kind of like the idea of being able to just select what team to be a part of at character selection screen (e.g., team orange, purple, green, whatever).
3) Make the teams hard-coded. Cross teaming just sets up exploitable situations (e.g., immy healing).
Anyhow, I am skeptical that any of this will get done, and I feel like this is a pseudo wipe. Time will tell.
