Shorties / Elves were separate teams.

Its going to be a 3 team server, that much is certain, like SZ. However, unlike SZ, it is going to be split along racial lines. Unlike VZ, its going to have item loot. Worry less about adherence to any one of the classic pvp server rule sets and consider it more of a blending of the best qualities of all the servers rolled into one team server. Applying lessons learned from the failings of the current red server, and what worked and what didn't on previous pvp servers both emulated and live.
Previous teams servers saw total Evil hegemony, with good, neutral or shortie / elven teams respectively being crushed. A way to mitigate that is to combine two traditionally smaller teams into a larger, and more able to compete team i.e. elves+shorties. This not only allows for more players active in that team, but allows for the same ability to get through newbie levels unmolested as Qeyonsian Humans, or Ogre/Trolls do in their isolated newbie areas. It doesn't seem balanced if what is traditionally the largest team, with its Ogres and Trolls are leveling unfettered through their low levels in guk, whereas the two least populated teams (If elves and shorties were stinct teams) are battling over crushbone. Newbie pvp is some of the most fun I've ever had in an MMORPG, Red99 launch day in Blackburrow was amazing, but something that has been learned since then is one needs to foster a support-network for lowbies to get off the ground, make pals, and get pseudo established before thrusting them into pvp for long term player retention purposes. | ||

99.9% chance that this test environment has nothing to do with Teams server, probably like a 50% chance that it's not a P99 test environment at all.
