Not trolling but do you even play here? If you don't why do you post so much don't you have another game to play or something?

I was around for SZ....

Evil draws more people by far historically (SZ was MOSTLY evil). Also 2 of the weaker (perception wise anyhow) are paladins and rangers....

So why choose good?

So lets say raid guild xyz says lets play on this server.... where you think they are going?

Has any server done region-based teams?

example 2 teams.. this is a rough example, plz excuse bad photoshop

[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

West side:
Erudites
Barbarians
Humans - Qeynos
Half Elves - Qeynos
Dark Elves
Ogres

East side:
High Elves
Gnomes
Dwarves
Trolls
Wood Elves
Half Elves - Kelethin
Iksar

Freeport - Point of contention. Humans spawning here can ally to either side.(?)

Just curious how this would play out.

Maybe an emu server has tried it at some point, but I doubt it. But this makes absolutely no RP sense.

EDIT: And this looks too much like EQ2.

Yeah, east v. west side not very roleplay.. but along those lines, I could type up 5 paragraphs about how the continental divide amongst these races has made them regionally love each other.

Not sure about the eq2 reference. I beta tested it for 2 weeks then quit. Never played it live.

I like it.. Although maybe it could be Erud/Antonica vs Faydwer/Cabilis.

Or even just Antonica vs everyone else

Did not want to put ogres and trolls on the same team.


Mostly I was just curious if it had ever been considered.

I Like it, I would play West Side Ogre [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]... both teams have access to all classes... and the Ogre split makes RP sense... To raise Grobb faction you have to kill ogres, to raise Ogguk Faction kill Trolls or Dwarfs...


Maybe add a Red team that becomes KOS in all starting cities, but you can form Guilds with whoever you want... Just make them take a small exp hit on PVP death because their city hates them now..

Add FV rules with almost everything droppable, RZ item loot... and Only the person with kill shot can loot, but anyone close by can lock the corpse first.... ( thanks Dr. Science ) so naked casters are at a big disadvantage.. with everything but primary, secondary, range, epics, Jboots, Guise, droppable( maybe allow 5 total augments per player so they can pick their 5 favorite items to keep no drop )

Also maybe so new players are never at a disadvantage, never nerf drops... always allow Thex Dagger quest, Circlet of Shadow, Jboot camp, Manastone, ect.. ( maybe in Kunark Velious make manastone 90 damage )

So NPCs won't let you in each other's towns on the same team? Ehhh, I dunno.

Wanted to paste this here because I think this could actually work:

So, regional three teams:

West:

Erudin
Qeynos
Surefall Glade
Halas
Freeport

Central:

Neriak
Paineel
Grobb
Oggok
Cabilis

East:

Rivervale
Kaladim
Kelethin
Felwithe
Ak'anon

Each team has one city outside its main cluster (Paineel for central, Freeport for West, Rivervale for East). The only thing you would have to do for class availability would be to add trainers and spell vendors to Neriak and Kaladim for dark elf bards and dwarf shaman. This actually works pretty well for me.

EDIT: This actually makes it sort of like original Race War should have been. Elves, from a class balance standpoint, should have never been their own team. But combining the elf and shortie teams and reducing it to three racial/regional teams instead of the four of the original race war, it makes it a lot more balanced (assuming you figure out how to give bards and monks to the evil team and shaman to the elf/shortie team). I'm liking this more and more.
