West side:
Erudites
Barbarians
Humans - Qeynos
Half Elves - Qeynos
Dark Elves
Ogres

East side:
High Elves
Gnomes
Dwarves
Trolls
Wood Elves
Half Elves - Kelethin
Iksar

Freeport - Point of contention. Humans spawning here can ally to either side.(?)

Just curious how this would play out.

So NPCs won't let you in each other's towns on the same team? Ehhh, I dunno.

Wanted to paste this here because I think this could actually work:

So, regional three teams:

West:

Erudin
Qeynos
Surefall Glade
Halas
Freeport

Central:

Neriak
Paineel
Grobb
Oggok
Cabilis

East:

Rivervale
Kaladim
Kelethin
Felwithe
Ak'anon

Each team has one city outside its main cluster (Paineel for central, Freeport for West, Rivervale for East). The only thing you would have to do for class availability would be to add trainers and spell vendors to Neriak and Kaladim for dark elf bards and dwarf shaman. This actually works pretty well for me.

EDIT: This actually makes it sort of like original Race War should have been. Elves, from a class balance standpoint, should have never been their own team. But combining the elf and shortie teams and reducing it to three racial/regional teams instead of the four of the original race war, it makes it a lot more balanced (assuming you figure out how to give bards and monks to the evil team and shaman to the elf/shortie team). I'm liking this more and more.

I've seen more boxing and exploiting than ever before post Amelinda so not sure why you'd equate Sirken with staff who take a hard stance on things, there aren't even posted rules 1.5 years later.

Long story short Instagib, I'm the guy who tries to make sure the retards aren't allowed to have the sharp stick to play with that they so longingly gesture and drool for

3 teams that are decided at the ding of lvl 20 or something; When you ding lvl 20 you get assigned a team so that all the teams are getting the same numbers.

Lvl 20 is harsh enough that you dont wanna redo over and over again to get a shot at "the winning" team.

I played on Sullon Zek, and it did seem like the good alliance just played at a severe disadvantage. I think you would need to do two races, but besides that, a smiliar rule base system like SZ. It will still end up one guild (nihilum) vs all though, except it would be more hard coded.

2 teams.

Plus, we do not have the population for 3 teams either.

who the fuck is going to play a game where a RNG determines if you get to play with your friends or not?
