For Rogean: A Primer on Teams

And it's hilarious to me that you think getting merged into blue elevates you to bentley status. Once a bluebie, always a bluebie.

If you don't understand why then I can't help you pal. It has nothing to do with the actual playing of the game tho.

Sullon Zek didn't fail till they added the pop books. Then it failed

Did you not get the memo? We don't need to pick a team because we get to farm more uncontested loot for six months then be merged to the server where we get to kill it. Though it does seem like there's a strong amount of nihilum who will all play together there and with team rules, its pretty safe to say they'll dominate again. Won't be me tho, me and my child / wife / dog will be playing wizards.

Was basically confirmed in TS last night by Zade that merging to blue was a mistake by rogean and that it would be the two red servers merging, though ill be trolling about it nonetheless on blue forums for great luls.

Can anyone else confirm this?

Triple post rage but here's what you don't get. You aren't going to beat people who treat eq as a real life job in place of the job they don't have. The vast majority of nihilum are all going to play the team server and are more dedicated than ever. Except this time when they have 200 members you'll only be able to recruit from two teams to fight them, and if you roll their team? Enjoy having to reroll to compete.

The more teams the more you help a highly organized juggernaut like nihilum. Most people will roll with their friends or whatever team seems coolest to them. Pop will be dispersed throughout the teams. Nihilum on the other hand will have a 100 man roster all rolling the same team plus all the new blue apps who can basically be safe from pvp on a team server. Since you can't x team you would need a similar force from one of the teams. Zero chance at that.

Big guilds can be defeated with variance + boxing + high rate of exp with all three being dependent on one anoter (variance without boxing only fuels the problem further) that's about the only way tho.

With velious and people getting geared you'd likely see some nihilum defections down the road. On a team server? Who can I defect to I'm hard coded to my team. Some of the best red99 moments have been defections.

Nihilum is not the reason were doing a teams server.

Were doing a teams server because theres players that want to play on a teams rulesset and think the FFA server is toxic.

Has NOTHING to do with zergs. Sirken doesn't want balance (I agree to some degree). Its EQ. The rest are considering some balance tweaks to teams so we just dont end up as heavily zerged.

Teams server is to attract population BACK to the project as well as fresh pop. And move some of the die hard SZ/TZ/VZers from blue etc.
