also: teams

TEAMS



Light/dark, 4 races, SZ style - whatever. Those servers were more popular than RZ.

Casual players have a better time. People know where to go (Karnors = lightie dungeon, Guk = dark, etc). Zone control is meaningful. Guilds reaching critical mass is less impactful because allying smaller guilds on the same team is more viable.

It won't happen but I would never leave this box if it became the striking image of 2000-era Tallon Zek (or VZ/SZ).
Those servers also didn't have item loot, which was a bigger deterrent than race wars was a feature, imo. Not really against race wars servers, they always sounded great to me, but I was already fully invested/immersed in RZ. R99 doesn't have item loot, so I feel like this arguement is mostly moot, aside from the fact that it would be almost impossible to implement at this point.

Another reason why teams would not work on this server: everyone has 20 accounts with one character on each one (or so).

Back on the EQ teams you of course had limmited character slots and limmited accounts (had to pay for each one, and most did not have multiple accounts). You were restricted to making toons (at least on sullon zek) on your account that all shared the same team.

Here, everyone would have their "evil" account/toon, their "good" account/toon, their newt one etc.

It would be pointless. Would be no team spirit/pride like early team EQ and early DAoC realms had.

Just would be a great mess in general. And besides, for a real team server you have to have way more of a pop then we do now.

What does it matter to you? Nothing will please you, you are waiting for that perfect server in your head. Stay lvl 40 and stay on LoZ, please.

yeah I don't really care enough to post more about this for the 4000th time in this window of opportunity where Rogean is presumably giving a shit again, so I'll just defer to the remaining blue server converts who clearly have a better idea of what works on a red server than I do

let me know how it goes with getting people back from LoZ

How are you going to implement teams on a server with already established guilds? Are you going to break up those guilds? That's obviously silly.

The one big guild left on the server? Yep. Break em up. Change is necessary sometimes.
