Not bad but what makes you think most of the servers pop can work together, making teams better. I really dont see a bunch of lowbies serving as meat shield for a guild not even for Nihilum. Maybe if guild starts to merc it out.

And if there isnt a level restriction, i really dont see the PVEers from Nihi etc missing a raid to play white knights against the meanies griefing their teams lowbies.

I think it will be even worse on teams for one reason: Teams are hard coded

So now on red i read that Heartbrand defected "to the other team" and will try to start something. On team, if one team starts winning, its pretty much done. Its hard enough trying to put some people together when people gravitate to the zerg like a black hole, imagine if u had to delete your char and start over lol

It would take a ruleset i cant think of for it to work, and i have no idea how they think they will handle a 70% 30% hard coded pop balance.

It might work, but i dont see how.

I guess well find out soonish

1. people will be relegated to a team, by IP, and a dominate guild will form within each team.

2. +/- 4

3. No cross teaming for the formation of pan-team zergs.

4. Heartbrand could potentially be a heavy hitter on t99 if he chose to play it and lead red dawn, maybe some charles bronson etc folk to a 3r d team option not populated by nilly or former holocaust. Theres 3 teams right there.

5. It will work, blubies and casuels are already expressing more interest in t99 than they did r99. r99 had a 660+ pop for weeks, that diminished because of...

a. the server languished in disrepair, rogean was engaged in SWTOR
b. the exp loss / exp rate was too harsh for many
c. the banning of holocaust and rise of nihilium (Instantly removing all server competition not due to one party being better at pvp or pve, or one party having a cleaner whistle. They were both exploiting Nagafen pathing, Nihilum just had a Dev in their Guild.)
d. the lack of availability of exp groups for people not of the initial population burst from launch (hardcoded teams fixes this)
e. lack of anything to differentiate it from blue (for non-pvp enthusiasts i.e. casuals and blues), except it was a pain in the ass. Item loot, teams, and FV style no-no drops fixes this.
f. null's custom resists, etc

i could go on but, you get the idea.
