My effort post from awhile back remains the most popular suggested teams server ruleset (probably because it addresses all the balance problems noted so far in this thread, as well as many more based on experience with classic SZ and Red '99).

Don't take this as anything other then what it is, words. The teams rule-set they set down with TZ / VZ actually was not meant to be fair. In all honesty, it was made so each team had a niche that brought them to the table. Evils couldn't get druids or bards or rangers / paladins but good teams could get pretty much everything until you broke it down by teams. Elves couldn't get monks or shamans but had access to pretty much everything else. Shorts could not get bards but had the highest majority of druids on it. Humans had absolutely everything, they were the most balanced of the teams as given except they were spread out from one starting point to another.
All the arguments I have seen for this have been from a raiding perspective. You don't NEED X class to group up and level. You don't NEED a class to do anything in this game. Illuvitae proved that on Vallon Zek by doing end game content with all elves. Does it make it easier? Oh yes, tons easier. However it's not a game breaking scenario to be missing certain classes like, ok here's a class people said YOU CAN'T DO PLANES WITHOUT IT: Bard. Bards we're quite literally the class that people said you needed in groups, monks being a close second. It can be done, and if you didn't have the class you would find ways to do it.
When you're making a teams PvP server then you're making a server where balance is not going to matter worth a flip. If you want' balance, go to red where you can have any race/class combo together to do whatever content you want and thump your chest and say you did it on a PvP server. By all means, go right ahead. I on the other hand would love to raid lower gun which is generally evil controlled with my purist elven guild while we fought our way down to assassin JUST to hold that camp against undead frogs and the hordes of evil.
Forget balance, give me VZ / TZ ruleset.
