Question about Teams PVP

I'd prefer teams, on FFA everyone flocks to the winning side and then quit when they're best in slot or take easy fights and shit on the little guys.

The server needs new life/guilds but the new pop will possibly just feed #'s for the next year of Nizzar's addiction of pixel farming.

Why so many like a one guild box farming the most horrendous PVE is beyond me like I've said before.

Personally i joined Nihi cuz i cant see myself playing with best of the best toxics like Slathar, Exed, the twinks in Unrest griefing newbs in cloth to the tune of "Nihi owns this place".

The problem with teams is that the teams are hard coded. Once a team starts dominating the only way to balance it a bit is to reroll a character on another team and probably you will have to delete your other characters to do so.

In FFA if your guildies are being assholes to you, If you feel your guild is dominating too much, you can always switch "teams" or start your own.

This question may have been beaten to death already i have no idea tbh, but i heard there is a teams PVP server in the making? If so do we have an ETA on it? and secondly some people have said they will just turn this server (red) into the teams one, but i find this very hard to believe as tons of people are different races/dieties that are friends and im sure they wouldnt want to just suddenly be not on the same team as each other. Can anyone confirm or deny this for me please.
Thank you.

welcome to ignore

future of teams server
3 large guilds (one for each side)
1 guild larger than the other 2.
largest guild keeps getting bigger while the two smaller ones keep shrinking (wonder why?)
1 side dominates to the point that the only pvp is griefing and dueling.

Why would anyone want to be hardcoded alongside anyone in this community

So you played on Sullon?

Only thing you forgot is the two smaller guilds will constantly fight for the scraps of the 1 big guild.

If they do the breakdown like Sullon I damn near guarantee that the Evil team will be dominant.

Wall of text on every post, write in your journal take key points and share them.

There are already teams on red, they're called guilds. Join one.

teams will fail rapidly because one side will get dominant and unlike FFA, you cant reshuffle the cards once in a while.

Not true at all. You can inherently balance the game better by making it so that the Evil team doesn't have so much power and the Good team (and to some extent the Nuetral team) has more power. There should naturally never be one team that ever becomes overwhelmingly dominant, because the other teams would actually have the capability of fighting them back.

You could also code the game so that the losing team gains bonuses, on a sliding scale. This would even further make it so that there is never a vastly "dominant" team, it would always be in flux or there would at least be a powerful underdog vs a slightly more powerful favored team. A lot of people would actually prefer to be on an underdog team in that scenario.

For a Team-based server, though, I'd really like to see it significantly altered from classic in terms of mechanics. Balance the classes better, have more class restrictions depending on alignment, and also have race restrictions within each alignment. The zones would also need to be balanced much better (with some new zones added in) so that Odus/West Antonica/Mid Antonica/Faydwer have more value, actually making them worthwhile in comparison to East Antonica and Kunark.

Zone balance is actually THE most important thing I would like to see improved across all servers (Red and Blue). In actual Classic EQ, there were tons of people in Everfrost, Qeynos, the Karanas, Highpass, and Temple of Cazic-Thule, and just in general there were more people floating through various zones and utilizing more of the game content, instead of everyone going on Wiki and rushing to the "most important" spots. The game needs to have a lot more options (and necessities for going to certain zones) and reward players more for actually exploring.

The epic quests should also be re-coded entirely so that every player's quest is different. You should not be able to initiate an epic quest until Level 50. At that level a character would go to the "epic quest giver" and be told 10 random items, which are difficult to obtain and no-drop, that need to be turned in for the epic. There would be 1,000 items on the list in total, spread throughout the game world. There would also be 3 different descriptions for each item and one of them would randomly be stated when the epic quest is given. Players would actually have to think for themselves and explore in order to figure out what item is needed for the Epic. That's how it was in Classic EQ.

So you want the red99 staff to remake the entire game? Cool idea.
