Teams was and still is absolutely the way to go. Prime time population is down to UNDER 70 PLAYERS. That is unsustainable. Basically, the diehards have two choices now: watch the server go down in flames or mix up the guilds a little by hardcoding racial teams.

I believe in the team paradigm over the FFA hopelessness that nobody fucking wanted to begin with. And I am shocked that Wehrmacht of all people saw this clearly. Yet... the two-team model is much weaker than a three-team model.
With two teams, there will ALWAYS be a stronger team. Whoever has more and better players will always win and begin to grind down the others. In the three-team option, whenever one team starts to wax truly ascendant, the others will cease their bickering and join forces against the real threat.
Three teams also provides for more targets. Nobody on a PvP server wants to feel safe and superior at all times. When you join the dominant team on a 2-team server, you've got it made. When you join the dominant team on a 3-team server, you become a target. The progression slows down as the two weaker teams invest the leading team in grief and pvp every time. It is inherently the stabler model. It can also be made to be just as balanced as a 2-team server, if not quite as canon.
