BRIEF description of a hybrid hard code/soft code 3-faction ruleset

[Rokannis]

Dwarves were originally neutral on SZ. Barbs could be good or neutral I believe. I know we had them on team neut.

Sorry, bad bad ideas. Teams so lopsided, no ogre warriors for pve, no bards for pvp and pve. Its always been horrible, and will be even worse today when everyone knows how to exploit these fundamental imbalances.

Make no mistake, there needs to be a ffa team, but racial/deity teams just suck in Everquest, and they always will.

Lol pushing for that FFA team so nilly can Zerg that team and raid with no problems of having to xteam
Stop trying to fuck up every server you have red99 stay there

The inspiration here is to avoid the imbalance you had on SZ where evil team had multiple starting locations that were exclusive to that team, while good and neutral mostly shared starting locations and had to PvP from the jump.

Barbs could be neutral shamans, as Barb was the only non Evil shaman race.

Shamans could worship The Tribunal (neutral) and Mith Marr (Good).

Nilly could "zerg" any team genius. It only means you and your pals can't troll us and use protected characters on our team to train us or find ways to grief. Having a FFA team doesn't effect either of the other normal teams, only players who accept the disadvantage of being on the FFA team.

Stop trying to fuck up the server and allow ways to grief.

[nerfed]

the evil team is always going to attract the most players

Very naive statement.

The best option they mentioned was the choose team 1, 2, or 3 at character select.

[runlvlzero]

I like Aenor and his ideas. Alot.

[gotrocks]

this is pretty solid. if we were going to choose teams based on this kind of system, this would be the way to go EXCEPT

i agree with everyone else, swap barbs/dwarves. Dwarves are traditionally neutral anyway (in eq lore and other fantasy lore. also, they tend to get along with gnomes)

[Bogart]

Teams suck.
