The server isn't going to be wiped, they've told us this multiple times. I'm thinking they're either making a new server, or are going to implement teams here with our existing characters.

Well its all the same anyway, i think it would be weird for them to launch a new server that would eat away at the already low pop of Red, and server is still down, which hints that some kind of nuclear-scale incident happened to the server farm.

But yes, it is all speculation at this point

Some staff feel two teams is best (ie: WoW, SWToR), others feel that 3-4 teams is much better (ie: Sullon Zek, Vallon Zek) So which do you prefer, and why? (if your post does not include a reason, it will be ignored).


2 Teams

3 Teams

0 Teams


(yes i could do a poll, but that would encourage people to vote without posting, and anyone that doesnt post a reason deserves to be ignored).


thank you very much,

0 teams: No teams.

EQ was never designed for teams, it was clearly an afterthought. Also keep in mind "raid" content.

No matter how you slice it, it's nearly impossible to cut it in any manner without losing raid or pvp prowess.

If your talking about a game built from the ground up, I would say three teams and complete/open PVP.

After reading through this rapidly growing thread, I'll agree with the folks who say 3 teams. Splitting everyone among three separate factions is a good way to go about things.

Look at PlanetSide - they have a pretty nicely set up 3-team system. I'm sure the folks in charge here can create something I and everyone else on the server would be glad to log in when we get that hankering for classic EQ and PVP.

It'll most certainly attract new players because FFA PVP servers are intimidating, and therefore new players avoid it.

Teams are a pipe dream people! It will not work. There are too many ways to abuse it and it is too much to monitor and keep in check.


Guilds are teams. If anything just make Guilds have a member cap and do not allow buffing or healing outside of the guild you are tagged.

You think as someone who already knows who he's going to play with. You have to adjust the server to embrace the average joe's who just start playing without anyone else. FFA helps fostering the paranoia where people alienate people from groups and what not because they are potentially (going to join) the enemy.

Stale EQ is bunk as shit, fresh servers is where it's at.

Sirken trollen us hard probably - but I've got a partial.

Well 24 pages later and not a single workable idea better than my page 3 idea.

Okay if they made teams right now and everyone had to re roll or be stuck that would be pretty hilarious.
