Hard Coded Vs Soft Coded Teams Discussion

[Giovanni]

Rogean was working on phone authentication for eq logins. Could that be used in conjunction with hard coded teams to help preserve true teams?

93% to 7% so far.

While I like the results, I expected a different ratio due to the eventual merge concerns.

What merge concerns? clarify plz?

We'd like to know so we start new characters in the same team or something and stop wasting time gearing characters on other teams?

It was suggested that teams 99 may be merged into red99 at some point in the future of the server. It's not 100%. The servers may merge, they may not.

Teams ruleset not even an issue after the merge because by then people will understand why FFA is the better ruleset.

With velious on red, it will become the dominant server soon as classic content gets stale on teams after the dominant guild is able to go FFA (using 3 50s in each team) to put a stranglehold on the box (this is what we will do).

Lets focus on how to make the servers we have better rather than catering to the defeated masses and their dreams of hurting red by pushing for a new server.

i think FFA would be better if servers merg but that could be another poll for a different time,

Velious will do NOTHING for red99 expect nilly will have 150 in tov while 50-100 others in 3 different guilds randomly farm thurg quest armor/ lodi when they can .

server will be even more dead and harder to find pvp, not to remind everyone that the gear gap in velious is retarded and no other new clans/crews will have a chance

server pop would NEVER be over 250 and i doubt it would even get that high if it was released tomorrow.

teams99 only hope for real pvp during velious

best part of velious was pvp EVERYDAY over mobs unlike 1 or 2 days a week like in kunark.

no idea why u guys wanna just farm everything uncontested , why do u even play on red99? unless its an easy way to get pve cuz TMO and other guild run blue99 and yall would have 0 chances at pve there

Best outcome for all parties is no merge and just keep Red running for the foreseeable future. The vast majority of Red players will restart on Teams, but Nihilum any anyone else who wants to stay and keep their gear can do so. Red pop will gradually dwindle over time at which point a merge could be considered. By then (and this means over a year from the launch at least) Teams should be established enough to consider a geared merge from Red.

Sorry, I was typing my post when you posted that.

Even though Soft coding Teams helps Elderan's desire to keep his guild together, he & everyone else are right when they say Soft Coding causes way to many problems.
