Teams - whats better?

[Agatha]

I like the idea of teams but i dont know. i still rather have no teams and it just be guilds vs guilds

[SamwiseRed]

3 teams is best. odd number keeps it from being these guys vs these guys. also fits in with EQ lore. altho things got zergy on sz, i dont think thatll happen again. 2 teams will always fail, ALWAYS. just like 2 guilds. one dies and all is lost. im not saying we have to adapt all of SZs rules but their teams made the most sense of all the teams servers.

This sums up my thoughts.

1- The differences in power balance is MUCH smaller on a 2-team server compared to a 3-team server.
2- Everytime it's been tried (whether on live or EMU) 3-teams has lead to one team doing NOTHING.
3- Your team is supposed to foster the new player and nurture him, 3 teams further alienates the new player compared to 2 teams.

3 teams sounds good on paper but doesnt work out in practice

Where besides SZ have 3 teams been tried in EQ? I feel that legal training is what shut out good team more than anything.

With FFA right now on Red99 low levels are spread out and it is very hard to find groups. I agree that 2 teams would help with the 1-50 grind but I like 3 teams for late game. If there are 3 teams about 90% of the people within your level range on your team should be in the same zone as you. It funnels people on the same team to the same area.

The idea of having 3 teams is that the 2 weaker teams will always team up against the stronger team. With a low population this is much easier to coordinate. Of course there will always be drama and traitors with alliances but that is part of the fun.

2 teams cuz of pop

Both 3 teams or 2 would be awesome - would allow for people to feel safe/grp with others on their teams.

Pls say this means it's wiped Sirken.

??? we want 2 know

EQ needs atleast 3 teams to try and keep the strongest team in check. In my experience two teams leads to one team dominating the other in every aspect. People will say they want to play the underdogs, but people also say they want item loot; neither works.
