I hope this gets read, as I think the teams aspect is the most important to any PvP server. Specially one that will rely on LOW numbers.

FFA PvP only works when there is a large population. Red does not have that. In the beginning it did and live was good, but numbers slowly dwindled, and in order to regain those numbers, the FFA aspect needs to change.

FFA gives too much power to 'Internet Toughguys' who like rolling around at level 20 with Rogue epic's screwing with actual new people. Teams, with SZ rules, negates those fools, since you can bring in a high level and wipe them out for screwing with your team.

Teams allow people to gather in closer area's and promote grouping and leveling together. I can't tell you how many friends were made because Neutrals could only group in HHK or Crystal Caverns. Also, it promotes PvP. Since as an Evil or Good, you know where the other teams are to go screw with them. Currently, people whine about 'never finding PvP.'

As for what teams SHOULD be and what the ruleset is... that is up to the Devs, but I always liked the Sullon Zek style.
Teams lets you have a wider range of PvP. No OOR healing.
SZ had the limits of Diety. Necro/SK vs Druid/Paladins/Rangers. You don't need to have anything other than that. Evil was limited to Bard Track.

However, the only thing that makes teams WORK... Hard coding. No buffing, grouping, etc. Teams are there for a reason.

Teams will only work if NPC faction works like it did in classic. Guards would aid the person with highest faction and allow you to slay someone in front of them if your faction was higher.

This allowed players to split the map and control zones based on faction.

0 teams, knuckle and skacat summed it up pretty well

immersion > balance.

players will ultimately decide balance. if 100 people roll evil and 10 roll good well ofc its unbalanced. if you make 2 teams, there is alot better chance of everyone rolling on the same team. 3 will split this shit up real nice. just look at what everyone plays now. there isnt as much min/maxing going on as you would think.

need teams so when newbs join they have a built in support and community

barrier of entry on red pre-wipe was so insanely fucking high you either had to be a wiz/dru/mag or be handed an epic and fungi
