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?

While I'm not playing at the moment I know that while I played the amount of mass PvP here was scarce at best and I doubt it has changed much ever since.
The greatest thing about a team-server is that it actually promotes community. The mindset of MANY people here have been that if you aren't in my guild, you're against me. Teams give people a bigger incentive to be friendly toward other people since everyone you meet is a potential ally against your natural enemies and they can never really turn on you.
Another problem that it addresses is that people can attack others without feeling like assholes. Will there be more PvP on the new server? I doubt it, but I think and hope it could attract another type of crowd.
