It's OK, I understand now.

Wehrmacht wants a Teams server so he can join whichever side the "Heresy zerg" (made up of people who fought each other for the last year) is on, thus preserving his relative anal virginity. Sounds pretty blue, brah.

I also never saw you yt anyone. Except Knuckle.
If I had to guess, I'd say the only reason a pvp server is being started is because eqemu currently doesn't have one (at least not one with a respectable population), and Rogean wants to keep eqemu somewhat diverse. Vztz's population wasn't all that impressive, but at least it was consistent (52 on average according to this link: http://www.eqemulator.org/index.php?...fo&worldid=807 though keep in mind it's been at 0 players for for a while now, so the average should be higher). Combined with the number of people here who have asked for a classic pvp server, it only made sense to make the server classic as well.

So if his likely goal is to start a popular server that further diversifies eqemu, it will (and should) probably go with Teams, even if that's not the preference of the pvp-tards who have swarmed the forums in the past few weeks (you guys are going to play on the server either way - don't kid yourselves). Teams are more appealing to people who don't organize into guilds right away and team up to mitigate class imbalances, so the "bluer" players as you would call them are less likely to ragequit after a few bad experiences. That being said, I think it's silly to lump everyone who is pro-Teams into some category of unskilled bluebie pussies just because you don't prefer that type of setup.

I don't see what all the bitching is about, since a popular server is in everyone's best interest - if there's more population, that means that there will be more pvp encounters because there will be more victims from which to choose (and the zones will be more densely populated).

wait.. why am I posting here?
