Sirken assured us that would never happen.

Dont go back on his words now.

Not sure what he said, but will ask him about it. I do not believe there would be a way to avoid it if there was a hard code.

Keep in mind, if a merge of red into teams happens.

There HAS to be a way people on red can choose their team no matter race/class. You CANNOT split up guilds.

Yes you can.

A merge preserves characters and their gear, not guilds.

Of course this is ignoring the fact that a geared-merge of Red into Teams is a fucking horrible idea to begin with and should never happen. A merge into Teams should be with naked characters or not at all. Send geared Reds to Blue or Teams instantly becomes a joke.

Or just transfer all Nihilum to their own server since that's basically what they want.

Also if you would finish with the fixes to red, stop talking about teams 99 and add velious red will average 350 a night and teams 99 wont be needed.

The second option for the merge is to allow for race/class changes on the merge...

The race change is possible, but there's a lot to consider with that (factions, base stats, racial abilities.)

I don't see class changes happening, even if your desired team doesnt have your class.

Why is everyone so against just allowing the choice of team a/b/c at character creation?

This solves so many issues.

naw.

Make the teams server Good, Neut, Evil/"Discord" where the evil team is essentially FFA and can attack eachother. this will keep the team from being too zergtastic and overpowering the pixel farmage, because you know the evil pop will be higher b/c it's the "easy" choice.

THEN, when teams merge, make all Red chars join this "Evil/Discord" team. even the bards, etc. that would have been on the "good" team. make some kind of exception, change their deity or whatever.

This keeps all FFA red toons FFA, while also preserving their chars. The fact that they all merge onto one "team" is negated by the discord. Make Evil team have red colored names. make goods+neuts have green/orange whatever.










or.............. would it just be better to split the old mains of some "friends" up? not sure.


PS gms please shut down red while teams is active, only merge red toons just before velious, and keep the eventually merged population safe from empty-box pixel farmage/population splitting. SHUT DOWN RED99 FOR TEAMS

Also, make legit zone control maps.

Been discussed. I don't think we will provide a leaderboard, but I would like to provide a feed for those who want to create their own statistics.

93% to 7% so far.

While I like the results, I expected a different ratio due to the eventual merge concerns.

What merge concerns? clarify plz?

We'd like to know so we start new characters in the same team or something and stop wasting time gearing characters on other teams?

It was suggested that teams 99 may be merged into red99 at some point in the future of the server. It's not 100%. The servers may merge, they may not.
