I had no intention to post this as I really didn't give a shit. But as you challenged my honesty, here it is. Warzone trolling a noob. To me, that and your instantly aggressive response sums up my experience with your guild.

Looks like staff already has teams pretty well hammered out.

I would play the shit out of that.

Agreed that Good & Evil have access to best heals / best slows (cleric + shaman) and the demihumans don't... That's an issue. Giving Bards and/or Enchanters a racial specific quest spell that matches the Shaman slow isn't a good answer either. Best of luck figuring that one out.

I'm also curious if Kunark would be at server launch for Iksar, or if that would have the mandatory wait time for progression. Evils would start off slow for sure, only to get a massive shot in the arm once the Kunark release date was met.

Looks good.

Will play.


Serious question in such a server: how to maintain balance between the three teams?

Shammy slows.
OT Hammer
Evils getting starting cities with high level loot bags in their backyard.

I tend to play DEs and Trolls as my go-to races, but evils, especially with Kunark, got a big advantage on such a server.

Its a pipe dream, but I'd love to play on a balanced version of such a server.

This is silly/doomed to fail with clear late game winner as MEN. Shorties and evil will lead the early-mid game, then MEN will emerge to claim victory as the other sides lack required classes to do some of the content. Shorties and evil will get occasional end-game mobs in Kunark but be severely limited. Neither side will be capable of doing end-game Velious.

tallon zek worked in a way maybe u aint thinking here, teams server thats it what tallon zek was. at lower lvls u just stuck to your zones/races and u were good, meet people like if it was a blue server and lvl up, from time to time u could wonder in the lands of the enemy races for some pvp, or they could come to yours and everyone started using shout and gathered to push them back, it was a lot of fun, darkies against humans on nektulos, shorties against elves on gfay and crushbone etc, it was damn fun, it makes the lower lvls easier on a pvp environment cos not everyone is kos and not all zones are dangerous. But then u get to high-end, u just joined the best guild you could, having lighties, darkies, shorties etc. Then when high-end pvp happened it was a mess all around, i remember playing in xanadu, fighting sanctimony in some place of luclin, pdm came to help them and indig to help us, it was a big fight across many zones, i remember that in the zone i ended fighting we ended up only darkies, noone from indignation could hit a pandemonium, or xanadu or sanctimony, all darkies, weird as fuck but that happened. Just throwin in how teams worked back in the day, not perfect at high-end but how the low-end part worked was AMAZING. you are changing everything here and i dont think thats neccesary

im thinkin that if red was a teams server many of the issues we have could be gone.

once the MEN get on top there would be no stopping them. While skill does count in EQ, gear more than makes up for the delta. Once MEN get geared and start end-game, shorts/evils will realize they never had a candle of hope from the start and we'll be in the exact same situation.

-shorts lack of FD means they will have trouble breaking planes, dragons, etc.
-evils lack of bards means they too will have serious trouble getting through AE dragons, etc. and never be able to do all VP dragons/Tunare
