Team PvP rarely works. It can, but it usually doesn't. 2-team PvP is especially terrible and I can't think of a single game where it hasn't just made non-instanced PvP pointless because one team automatically grows much bigger than the other. 3-team can work, but the main concern is whether there'll be enough players to sustain it since it'll have to be hardcoded if we want to avoid bullshit like healers you can't attack. Teams that restrict class/race choices also just promote lopsidedness because the classes and races are nowhere near balanced. If there are to be teams, it should be the player's choice which to join, unrelated to their class/race choice. Just have characters spawn with three books and at level 6 they can turn in whatever book represents the team they want to join. Then give +20% XP to the smallest team to encourage roughly even numbers.

As much as I enjoyed teams on VZ, and even more so locked teams on SZ, you can't form teams without a guaranteed population. I imagine we will have 2 power guilds battling it out. That should be fun enough... Torrent and Defiant battles on VZ were soooo sick.

Why would you want teams? That just means less PVP. I don't really see any advantage in hard coding teams.

Here we go again..
Same old shit dog, just a different day

I loved SZ and all, but it was a shit-hole.

I remember a point in time, well before EQ really died, when you could /who all on SZ and not get "list too long".
