everyone posted so much while i was at work. gotta catch up on posts :P

the reason i dislike this is that it doesn't make any sense at all within eq lore, and a healthy pvp server should be equal parts roleplay, positive community, and team balance.

i say do the sz teams, but bend the rules just a *little bit* to give each team every class. sol ro necros, and the like.

Eh...you could bend the LORE a little bit to make sense of it.

- Trolls and Ogres are at odds with each other in EQ lore, correct? The shadowknight guilds hate each other.

- Dwarves and Gnomes are already cousins, that's easy. Dwarves have long standing grudges with Ogres in EQ Lore.

- Dark Elves are already the natural enemy of all other elves, per Innoruuk.

- Erudites thirst for knowledge, and study all schools of magic. Necromancy originated with Dark Elves / Neriak? That's where Miragul went to learn it. Ogres used to be the most powerful race before they were struck down by the gods. Perhaps Erudites seek to discover some of that hidden knowledge?

- Halflings are sneaky, thieving little bastards and have forward bases in Nektulos forest already... not as an invasion, but to help their sneaky, thieving dark elven brethren.

- The insanely evil iksar are accepting this alliance for now with ulterior motives to enslave the world including their own team just as they were once enslaved.


I could go on... but I won't.

Just make it simple. Make it like WoW. People understand the simple 2 team setup.
