Stale EQ is bunk as shit, fresh servers is where it's at.

After reading through this rapidly growing thread, I'll agree with the folks who say 3 teams. Splitting everyone among three separate factions is a good way to go about things.

Look at PlanetSide - they have a pretty nicely set up 3-team system. I'm sure the folks in charge here can create something I and everyone else on the server would be glad to log in when we get that hankering for classic EQ and PVP.

It'll most certainly attract new players because FFA PVP servers are intimidating, and therefore new players avoid it.

3 teams seems best. This way if one team got too large and started monopolizing content the other two could take it down right before turning on each other. Instead of just 2 teams trying to zerg each other they can also be making shaky alliances with the 3rd team, adding a whole other dimension to the battle.

Yes I have also been converted to this line of thought, however you slice them 3 is good.

aika is this terrible terrible asian mmo i used to play. the only reason i played was because the mass pvp was fucking huge. alot of 100v100v50 fights (5 teams but each team could have 1 ally, the strongest team was not allowed to ally so it was always 2v2v1 teams wise) it was always balanced and fun. the only reason SZ failed was because of the player base. i think this time around shit will be different. if not well fuck it. i guarantee you if 3 teams fails so will 2 teams.

the past 2 years has pretty much been a 2 team server. you have your nillys and your not nillys. sometimes there would be a 2nd or 3rd contender but never for more than a month.

the MAIN problem i see is that with red99, people can make unlimited accounts. on live your account was flagged to the first char you made. if you made an evil char you could only roll evil alts (unless you deleted all your toons) I guess there is no way we can enforce perma team selection but it would be nice.

Sam what team we rolling bro

FFA servers aren't intimidating, they're dumb. At least when people want to xteam and jump ship with hardcoded teams, they gotta reroll.
