i said i was against hardcoding because it would break up guilds if we decided to merge red into teams. however, after discussions i have changed to position to one of pro hardcode because the only reason to go soft would be to protect guilds, and hardcoded is needed to ensure pvp awesomeness long term/big picture. if guilds were split up, yes people would be very butthurt for a few weeks and QQ their faces off, sure. BUT the guilds will just have them reroll and PL them back to 60 in that time. and so the problem with hardcoding is resolved in a few weeks, but the problems associated with softcoding will stay with the server and last forever.
Fair and balanced are not the same thing. the teams will be fair. if u want balance go to WoW or GW2
also, Rogean stated in the public round table discussion that we have zero intention of running 3 servers long term. so one way of another (either red into teams, or, teams into red) expect a merge.

Jesus where to begin...
The idea that Teams99 will promote pvp is completely flawed. Let me explain what will happen on T99.
- First 2 months pvp will be great.
- The next 3-4 months most people will migrate to the side who has the most people. Pvp will start to shrink.
- 5+ months in there will be no mass pvp. The only pvp will be people who roll chars on the side with the less people knowing they will have alot of targets to gank. Those pvp fights will be gank, zone, log type of fights.
Right now with an average pop of 150 on R99 there are about 70 pvp kills per night. That is a 46% of kills to player pop per day.
I will bet you any amount of money that in 6+ months on T99 that number will be FAR less. Meaning less pvp... which is the so called goal of T99.
Why not solve this merge issue and balance issue now and allow players to choose their team at character creation?
