You probably aren't going to get many blue players (let alone people to stay beyond a week) under FFA as opposed to teams.
I know it's not what most people want to hear, but the reality of the situation is that FFA EQ is a guild-centered game and the majority of people trying out the server will quit rather than put forth the effort to find and join a guild. Rallos was an anomaly for reasons not even worth mentioning.
That's not to say that I'm advocating teams or anything, just be realistic with the sustainable population potential for a FFA server. It's going to be mostly former VZTZ players and the rare former Zek'ers who haven't moved on with their life or game. There's enough of us for this to last a good while.
