If Sullen Zek was any indication, things would be seriously lopsided in favor of the dark team.

Listen man, I was there during the whole thing from day 1 so I know why things turned out the way they did:
The neutral team had Darkenbane and Tides of Wrath at server opening (although I don't remember exactly when ToW formed). The evil team had Ruin and Hate then a bunch of other minor guilds with no real sway on server power like Da Bashin Iggles.
Darkenbane (neutral) was probably the best PvP guild on the server at the start. Meaning they didn't have anyone in their guild that was just outright terrible. Both Ruin (evil) and Hate (evil) had people who were both good and bad. Hate was actually pretty terrible at this point in time when Milt was leader.
So what caused the drastic evil dominance? Darkenbane was the biggest griefer guild on server and they were on neutral team *not* evil. They trained their own team to steal xp spots from them and all kinds of stupid shit.
The high end evils didn't really have any of these problems like the divide between Darkenbane and Tides of Wrath. The two guilds could have easily joined together and overwhelmed Ruin while we were raiding or leveling but they didn't. The best attempt I even saw to stop Ruin from progressing was when we were standing in Western Wastes and a Darkenbane halfling started running at us with a train of 20 dragons. I saw him coming and we were all ready to nuke him to death but his computer lagged out and he just plopped into the ground 100 yards away from us. The skyshrine attack did end up stopping us for a day or two, but you're gonna need more than one of those to catch up.
The only team that was a failure due to population issues and not something else is the good team. They only had Black Prophecy. If you were to combine the good and neutral team populations together (which is basically what the original post is), they will easily be able to fight against the evils. The odds of them having an advantage are actually greater than disadvantage imo. All depends who goes to what sides.

Only whines on forums so far is melees lobbing to throw out levitate and root for the lulz.

Root and levitate should work to avoid Z axis melee damage. The only reason it didn't on TZVZ was because it was coded wrong by accident or just not giving a shit about it.
