This does not really promote much pvp at all. I guess grobb vs oggok but thats about it.

Iksars having a whole continent for themselves is a little bit OP

It seems to me that nilbog is looking for a way to limit pvp at the lower levels, allowing for safer exp while people establish themselves. It's a pretty good idea with a ruthless bunch like we have here. Safe exp at the lower levels would do wonders for population on a new server.

I like it. It's a good balance. Would roll a troll and fight for the horde.. I mean the east.

Antonica really does look like an Arathi Basin 5 cap though at first glance.

Yeah personally Id be more for some fully customized system with two start cities on antonica so there is a lot of focus early on and battle for faydwer than battle for lguk.

Edited post because I re read..

Really just a question..

Was not sure if anyone had ever considered region-based pvp.

The minutiae of details wasn't the point.. :T That stuff is easily resolved.

It's fun to throw ideas around, but I don't think I could bring myself to play on a teams server where elves would associate themselves with evil races.

I played some dungeons and dragons less than 3 weeks ago. :P If words can change things, that's easily done. It would be easier to explain the above than traveling to the moon to fight nagas alongside mooncats. (sorry luclin fans)

I had more of an overall world in mind.. with separating natural teams. While I'm at it..

Still timeline-based.
Item loot until Kunark released
Freeport (Red Team) until Kunark released
Freeport contested when Iksars available/Kunark release.
Team languages - aside from humans, can't understand other races not aligned to your team

Hate on me. Doesn't have to be us that makes it; I'm just curious. I don't play eq, and it doesn't look like I will until I'm done with p99.

Don't have to hate to disagree, and I feel that anyone not into the RP side of things at least a little bit should play on blue.

The worst idea you posted, imo. Don't limit the ways people can interact with one another; pvp is great partly because of the RP trashtalk opportunities. Could give each team a unique language that the other can't understand, but at least allow communication with the enemy. This topped my list for reasons I disliked WoW.

I'm sorry, but the region-based teams nilbog is asking about are completely lacking in romance. This is a fantasy roleplaying game, right? :P

[Nirgon]

I mean yeah its a good idea. The problem of the whole thing is really the draw to be an evil race on a pvp server and that the evil team boasts Ogres [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.].

If you did something like make all warriors immune to frontal stun like ogres on this server, you could probably go with a region based setup. Happy to theorycraft if you have any serious interests in doing this.

[Gustoo]

No stun immunity, and making kick have stun effect like slam (getting kicked in balls stuns you just like getting hit in face with a forearm)

Thatd work for racial imbalance.
