Team based 1-50.
I am intimately familiar with the plight of the good team on Sullon Zek. Black Prophecy didn't exist until almost a year into the server. The first big guild was Sect. Then Sect exploded because that wood elf warrior whose name I can't remember and Miloie were ripping everyone off. Then there was a time of only shitty guilds like Northern Lights of Halas and Bringers of Retribution. Then there was Divine Vigilance which was pretty good but... Miloie drama again. Then there was the short-lived Trump, which was arguably the best of the good team guilds. Finally, Black Prophecy emerged under the leadership of Damiax. Everything comes down to two things: not enough clerics and only one warrior, Frosthound. For a while we had another good warrior, Katrina, but during the early days the leadership made it clear that she was never going to get gear so she rerolled to an SK and joined Ruin. She was an awesome PVP partner. Love you, Kat, wherever you are! The cleric and tank problem was insurmountable. Remember that dwarves were neutral, so our paladins were shitty stats combined with no gear. We had no SKs, leaving only a handful of warriors. We literally maxed at three clerics for a long, long time. To top things off, we had no good guild or raid leader until Damiax. I don't even remember who was the supposed leader of Trump, because it was very democratic.
tl;dr The failure of the good team on Sullon Zek had nothing to do with races and everything to do with missing necessary classes and terrible leadership.
That dark vs light thing has me thinking--what if we divided something like this:
Dark:
Troll
Erudite
Dark Elf
Dwarf
Halfling
Iksar
Light
Ogre
Barbarian
Human
Wood Elf
Half Elf
High Elf
Gnome
That's off the top of my head; I'm trying to figure out a logical way to get rangers on the dark team. I think every other class is available in a decent race to both teams.
