I'm going to try and dribble in bounds.

When this all started on 1.0 Rexx was the biggest persona on the box. No one should deny it. The box was unbalanced then. The handful of better players out of the 60 people playing where all in the same guild. (Heresy) Once eq emu started to gather fame and more people started to play those players along with the swedes started to compete. Eventually it was a race to who had the most people. (as we learned on 2.0 with Fish Bait) More people generally win. This is one of the not so wonderful scenarios in PVP. A guild just adding people to compete. The real pro's (I hope) won't cower to this scenario and will accept the challenge on the new box!

This won't be 1.0-3.0. We have never seen such an influx of new players to our community that will come day 1. That's why it is so important to get the rules right this time. This may be our last shot.

a good situation would be 2 populated guilds of causal players followed by 3-6 smaller talented guilds. But once people start to lose they will inevitably merge or add people they never intended on playing with just to win. A doomsday situation would be if the talent add and add people until no one can compete.

For those of you possibly coming over from the blue server that have never experienced mass pvp over a raid target. It's epic!! and worth the time starting a new character!

Most of my gaming time over the last 3 years has been spent with the vztz community. I think were all glad to be apart of the 99 community now. And together I expect big things.
