You think they will just be like okay I can attack this guy in PvP now, can't raid with him anymore?

No.

Worst case scenario some people have to form weird groups, or make healing macros. In the event they are able to code out being able to buff/heal people outside your team, this would only effect healing.

They'd cross team you so hard and see this as an opportunity to power level up chars in AE groups (oh look, can't hit same team anymore). You can't out grind them at this point, nor will the rest of you who are left here, ever. You don't have the asses required to sit in the chairs to do it or the taste for Dr. Pepper to carry you to the promised land, nor will Lord Kringe return to carry you on his strong back and farm you things.

Teams here = Nihilum becomes twice the nightmare PDM ever was because there is a much smaller population to fight back, worse, they have more free time on their hands than your average poop socker with Obama's continued support of neckbearding pixel lust. The checks will come to their mailboxes, your tears will rain, lols will be had over late night hot pocket dinners in Nihilum team speak. You know not what you wish for.

Chardok AE groups would be so sweet here with the exp bonus...

Yeah like I said, they're really going to just all turn on each other with teams being implemented. There are hungry pixel mouths to feed, and they will not bite each other just for PvP.

What is funny is how people claim to not be about PVE loot.. Yet all they want to do is contest Nihilum over bosses so they can get that same loot.

I know of who you speak. Those who truly appreciate EQ for its open world mechanics, and implementing a truly classic resist system are few among us.

The few and proud I believe are: Coach Cast, Kringe, Zyrino, Nilbog, Dullah and myself.

The rest want root spam, bags full of fungis and 10 alts in Phara Dar loots. Yuck.

People refer to PDM as such a nightmare clearly didn't play TZ, or had their head in the sand.

I keep hearing this reference, but do people know that PDM couldn't level in KC/Seb because of the darks/lights? Do you remember the first VS kill where they had like 30 people guard the entrance of KC after killing most of the lights?

I remember them coming with dark elf clerics and still getting shit stomped in Seb - most of them hit 60 in velious levelling in fucking wakening lands or whatever off those gem rock monsters in the saves low key as fuck - but was the most succesful/strongest raid force.

It wasn't trendy to be PDM at first, and most of the darks had a fairly isolated road.

The Good Alliance consists of: Erollisi Marr, Mithaniel Marr, Rodcet Nife, Quellious, Tunare

The Neutral Alliance consists of: Brell Serilis, Bristlebane, Karana, Prexus, Solusek Ro, The Tribunal, Veeshan.

no agnostics. where do i donate again?

Teams will only work if NPC faction works like it did in classic. Guards would aid the person with highest faction and allow you to slay someone in front of them if your faction was higher.

This allowed players to split the map and control zones based on faction.

What I think is best is to make the various tweaks already discussed (tstaffs, resists, bugged spells, etc) and leave everything else the same.

I know there is a group that is calling for a wipe, but I don't think they are the majority, rather a vocal minority who feel that a wipe would favor them and hurt their opponents. Don't give in to the forumquesters!


P.S. I really hope that the original post from Sirken will go down as one of the greatest trolls of all time, getting the forumquest crew all worked up over nothing. Just look at the sheer volume of posts over the last few days. Kind of sad really.

i present 3 indisputable facts

fact 1: FFA has always been and always will be the worst and most boring ruleset

fact 2: this server will be ruled by nihilum no matter what ruleset is in place. you can't beat that which has no life ambitions, job, social life, or girlfriend.

fact 3: team-based EQ is fun as hell

Would be really interesting if they allowed blue transfers (with gear) after implementing teams. Lots of bluebies seem interested in teams pvp, and the fears of Nihilum making the server a one team blue server (which is about where we've been at anyway, pve-wise) could be somewhat alleviated this way. Nihilum goods/neuts wouldn't need to reroll evil if the blue transfers gave us more hope of raid guilds on those teams.
