Group vs group or Raid vs raid actually sounds really cool, and could be balanced, albeit chaotic. For this to be truely great, you need 2 guilds on equal-ish footing though. Seems like such a waste to not have this happen. When populated, the top guild should have split, in an epic draft and fight, just for damn fun of it.
This is why EQ PvP was actually pretty great during the classic era. On Tallon Zek, for example, you always had two "Tier 1" guilds that were basically neck and neck, with anywhere from 3 to 6 "Tier 2" guilds chomping at the bit.

Velious is the beginning of the end of EQ PvP, in my opinion. NToV gear is so much stronger than anything that it totally upsets the balance. With 100HP and 15sv all on every item slot, there's little a Kunark-geared player can do to compete.
