Conclusion: It's a bad idea.
It's only my opinion, but people flocked to a particular team because it had a distinct advantage from the start.

The biggest drawback to any FFA is psychological. There's no real "purpose" beyond normal EQ gameplay to bring people together. So there's no hook...no reason for blues to play, because they're not interested in PvP as a singular motive.

I don't know what a good solution would be. If coding and time isn't an issue, then the rest is creative process.

EQ had 4 PvP servers, 3 of which were team based: Sullon Zek, Tallon Zek, and Vallon Zek. Combined the populations of the team based servers far, far exceeded the 4th server (Rallos Zek). There was a reason for that...FFA is essentially pointless PvP, and that doesn't draw the blues.
