Granted, i had a great time playing in an all elf guild killing everyone else
but that greatness was matched in how bad it sucked at times to

Examples: (playing elf)
* cant kill other elves who are healing the other team while you are engaged
* 2 elves kill your duo buddy .. cant kill em
* someone on your team bein an ass in a group.. cant kill em
(could be anything)
* loot whoring .. cant kill em
* uncalled for /ooc? .. cant kill em
* boots you from group? .. cant kill em
* says your fat? .. cant kill em

whatever, theres been a few times i loaded up SZ, RZ or a FFA server. but each time i had some 50+ who wouldnt let me get out
past the newbie gaurds before i got one shotted. (tried for hours!- did get 20+ a few times but said "F" this)

Essentially teams won out in my head.. it was fun being part of a race guild (team) anyway
the whole guild philosphy of defending those that were weak, hunting PKs or engaging other races on sight without a cause was fun
it seemed to hold more of a sense of purpose then just PVE everquest and FFA PVP
and that sense of purpose kept me from joining FFA
but the server wore on, and eventually everyone realized things needed to be done together
and new content didnt warrant teams so x-teaming came in.

imo, teams had its heyday and EQ endgame holds no place for teams
its only fun 1-49 or in classic but will die with further expansions
If you want or desire that sort of purpose, create a guild or team with that charter in mind... make PVP fun!
