I've never played on a server with YT but I like the idea without zone mentions. The zones can be revealed in OOC if desired. I think it adds drama and liven's up the community.
No to item loot.
I always enjoyed playing on the teams server. It added spice. I don't have any idea how you would implement it mid-stream. How hard would it be to give people a one time option to change races? I guess any faction work would be zero'd out and they would start with the base faction of the new race.
