That dark vs light thing has me thinking--what if we divided something like this:

Dark:
Troll
Erudite
Dark Elf
Dwarf
Halfling
Iksar

Light
Ogre
Barbarian
Human
Wood Elf
Half Elf
High Elf
Gnome

I'll add it to original page on my post after I double check it to make sure there isn't some kind of serious malfunction.

/duel = x-team healing on most servers.

That can easily be fixed.

FFA is way more fun and realistic, but because most people won't rise up themselves when they can't just simply join the top guild, teams supports more population.

First semi-logical Macken post. You REALLY underestimate how low the population would be for FFA P1999 though. EQ is a group based game for PvE and this server will be 1 IP per player. We had boxes to help PvE and level on TZVZ and this server won't, leveling takes longer too.

Do you think anyone not in one of the large guilds will want to play on server like that? Or any new players to the server in general? They aren't going to want to solo to 60 with normal xp rates, especially if they play a pure melee. People will flee from the server faster than Salty from a naked woman.

Once again, Heresy destroys the server by all their guild voting FFA. Have fun playing with 40 people online.

FFA is better, if ppl are gunan QQ so much drop the level range to +-4 lvls to pvp instead of 8, i mean if you all want teams we should just have vile do his QvF server again...i mean what if you dont like the people that rolld on ur team, you cant even kill them cause there on your team + i think everyone will flock to the side that the pro basketballers chose

I added another possible choice for teams (if the server goes teams) on the long ass page I did at:

http://www.project1999.org/forums/sh...ad.php?t=31288

Race War using race as selection variable: Probably the best choice since each team gets every class. Some people will whine because one team has troll and ogre tanks. Trolls aren't even good on a PvP server because they have 5 fire resist. Barbs are just as good if not better due to practically the same stats and no gimped fire resist.

Dark Elf Alliance (evil)

Dark Elf
Troll
Iksar
Ogre
Half Elf
Erudite


Human Alliance (good)

Human
Dwarf
Gnome
Halfling
High Elf
Barbarian
Wood Elf

Hey, if you want another completely empty server with just 30 heresy and 30 random other people, go for FFA instead.

lol yea, half elves would need a new starting city if that was the case lmao... nobody would hit lvl 2, surrounded on all sides by the good guys -- therefor no rangers, druid, paladin or bards would ever survive to play with their evil compadres

btw, what "good" race get SK? gnome sk isnt classic eq. sorry man i don't like that team split at all. people need to get off this "good vs evil" stuff, nobody cares about roleplaying (at least the people who are interested in red emu server, minus the harbingers people!).

so ya, sorry wehr i don't like that breakdown at all.. IMO, even teams would be like:

would be cool to break it down by "hemispheres" of the old EQ map... antonica on one team (with erudites in Odin, or whatever its called), and the other side would get the other continent i dont know the name of and kunark

team antonica
ogre
troll
barbarian
human
erudite
dark elf
halfling

team kunark
iksars
gnome
dwarf
high elf
wood elf
half elf


team antonica still has the slight advantage for PVE imo, but not by much.... no matter how u split it, whatever side gets ogre war is going to have a slight edge in PVE just because.

let me know what u think wehrmacht and other friends.

That's such a weak excuse. Goods and evils both start in freeport so it's not like everyone isn't going to be battle royale from 2 seconds in.

Humans duh

Okay, so I'm reasonably shitty at pvp and won't claim to know that much about it, but I think the server should go with teams. This isn't really my preference, but I think it's just better for the longevity of the server to give people more safety. The people who post on p99 every day about how much they want a pvp server aren't representative of the whole population that likes pvp - most pvp players are more casual and would prefer a server that was a little less hardcore. Notice how quickly Mortalquest's popularity went down, and how often people ragequit on that server. If you're a casual pvper and everyone outside of your guild (if you're even in one) is a potential enemy, you probably won't last that long. And yeah, it sucks that if someone is on your 'team' and you get into a dispute with them or otherwise can't stand them, then you can't do shit about it unless you have an alt of the opposite alignment, but I think if eqemu is going to have another pvp server, Rogean is going to want it to last more than a month and have a consistent population of more than 50 people.

I have some ideas about what the teams should look like, but I need to think about them more. Basically I think it should be based on class, race, and religion, with there being a "one-drop rule" regarding evilness (ie, being the slightest bit evil (belonging to an evil race, class, or religion) puts you on the evil team).

Teams just opens door for poopsocking and we all know we love that aspect of p99
