If we choose a team without Paladins then all of our paladins will just remake and regear in Velious as something else in preparation for teams. Not a big deal considering almost all gear gets replaced in velious.

While this is true, it's not absolute. I've lead a number of guilds across multiple titles, and specifically dealt with the transferring of an entire guild to another server. No matter how loyal the membership claims to be there will always be some that either do not follow you to the new destination or decide that during the transition is the best time to do something new.

I'm sure a lot of your core group will stay intact, but I'm not going to be shocked when the former-nilly satellite groups show up on opposing teams to try and do it better. And this isn't a knock against your guild or leadership at all, it's just the way people are.

Considering the teams aren't announced yet, but it is confirmed that there will be teams... How does Nihil know what team they will be on?

secrets roll on the good team with me :3

I think it all depends on the merger details. If they are very restricting, don't be surprised to see Nihilum members end up in all teams. If they decide you can't do anything to modify your Red99 character's race/class/deity choices, and you are forced to choose between going along with Nihilum or having access to your current ultra-geared toons, I think we'll see plenty of people say "I'd rather not lose the pixels" and strike out on their own.

May not even be a merger. Teams may be a brand new server that even starts pre-Kunark. I don't want want it to start pre-Kunark but that's not my call.

Yes, there may not end up being a merger. However, for the time being all we can do is work with the information we're given, and the only information we have is that 1) Rogean doesn't want to operate three servers and 2) It's likely the less popular box gets folded into the more popular.

And c'mon Sparkle, classic is fun! Especially on a Red server. All the most obnoxious classic problems (overcrowding at the camp you want, waiting with nothing to do, annoying people you have to deal with) can be solved with PvP.

For the sake of science, one can not run two experiments at the same time with conflicting variables. Once red is fixed and velious is underway, revisit teams. Until then, its just trolling the red server for something that will be out next summer.
