I sat in Misty Thicket for about 3 days straight doing nothing but tstaffing level 5 halflings to death. Killed probably 1000 of them in 3 days back when server population was 3k+.

Holy Shit bro I wish I had something like that to put on my resume.

I forgets but I don't think the evil team had halfings and they def didn't have druids or rangers.

You could roll an evil team halfling warrior initially, but they patched it.

SZ didn't come out until Velious.

Not much of a Marvel, unless you are wanting to debate with wormoct. I'm sure you and he can get together and make up alot of false memories together.

45-50% Evil
30-35% Newt
20% Good

Your numbers are off. Goods weren't a tiny team, they just had no organized, powerful guilds.

August '02

* Good: 1485 - 33.2%
* Neutral: 1201 - 26.9%
* Evil: 1783 - 39.9%

# January '03

* Good: 2310 - 33.9%
* Neutral: 1675 - 24.6%
* Evil: 2834 - 41.6%

I feel like with teams, you always end up hating your own team more than your enemies. With that said, teams are probably going to be necessary if there is no boxing allowed. Solo players starting on a non-boxing server are pretty screwed. This is only amplified if they are a pure melee class or a class that doesn't solo well.

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

Okay.. so now that the teams idea is dead... let's talk levels... 4? 8? 10? 15?

I think 4 is good. It stops people in classic from entering the planes unless they are within range of 50s, but it keeps things relatively balanced as far as resists and what not go. When Kunark goes live I'd be all for bumping it up to 8 levels.

Dead? Clearly more people want teams.

Only those who already have their 100-man Zerg force (Heresy) ready to go on launch want FFA. They want to control the server knowing that the chances of another 100-man Zerg force forming up will be slim. With teams you can have a couple of guilds forming up to even the odds.

Teams is more favorable for mass pvp. And fuck level limits. Only way level limits would work is if there is a way to tag someone for open pvp (no level restriction) if they heal a person who is fighting someone out of the healers level range (invulnerable healer). I don't know if that's possible since there doesn't seem to be an "in combat" tag like in wow.

Clearly when you say more people, you mean the 10-15 people who regularly troll these forums?

Heresy a zerg? that's news to me, and I'm actually one of the few people who would always fight AGAINST heresy for the last 3 years.

I kind of have mixed feelings over this. if you have no level limits, you'll have low lifes lvl 50s ganking poor lowbies in mistmoore/sola/paw/etc. But then again, level limits do create those invulnerable healers. I think we would see more 50s ganking 20s than invul healers, but that's just me.
