Your hopes for a 2.0 server?

The real fear with a teams server is that we end up with a Sullon Zek problem where one team dominates the server and the other team(s) don't get any raid content. Or depending on ruleset, having a Tallon Zek problem where crossteaming is so rampant it basically just becomes a FFA server with extra steps.

I believe any issues though would be basically resolved with timely fresh starts. All the red players have been wanting for many years now is a new server where everyone starts at level 1 again. If the server automatically rolled all their characters into blue at the end of the Velious timeline and started again, I think we would see a very healthy population regardless of ruleset.

Red players like to point out specific issues with the ruleset and blame that for the poor population, but what really killed the server is stagnation. Starting things over again on even footing would bring most people back, and again bring in some bluebie types to experience the chaos.

Anyway, thanks for your thoughtful reply. Idk why most bluebies get so mean whenever pvp is mentioned.

I played on Tallon from 2000-2004, crossteaming was largely focused on "Humans, Elves, Shorties" (Lighties) vs the evil team. And there was some cross-teaming guilds that had all of them. There were also some that were team specific. And from what I recall most were okay with pvping other "teams". So I don't recall cross-teaming being a major issue. It created a great dynamic in the game, and I remember my best EQ experiences on TZ.

Seems Pande never got the memo. Also ask the dark team guilds if they thought x-teaming was an issue lol.

I'm VZ, we were very similar but managed to do it better imo.

Yeah but everyone hated Pandemonium, and often were hostile to them.
I was on the Dark Team, my main was an Iksar Shaman. We had a lot of solidarity - a lot more than any other team.

Sorry, I gotta give you some shit bc VZ pride.

Sadly I think the magic we experienced with our soft-coded race-based teams will never happen again. If that exact ruleset was introduced now I feel pretty certain that everyone would just xteam immediately instead of doing the fun RP stuff. Gotta go SZ hard-coded; also deity-based is actually a cooler idea imo.

I was never dark team. Elf purist while leveling, then xteam scum for endgame. Did the dark team people not hate the "lighties" for their xteaming hypocrisy?
