One thing I've learned from Velious release: Nobody gives a shit

They tried that on EQ2 and it worked out terribly (from a teams aspect). It basically became the only faction an end game raiding guild could be on due to the fact they could contest all 3 factions for open world spawns and had access to all race/class combos. It had its own charm, but it definitely undermined the entire idea of teams to begin with - your team became your guild, just like a FFA server.

I expect this would happen yea. In my idea undermining the idea of 'teams' isn't a bad thing, I just think its a bad idea in general on a small population box. It wasn't even that great on live with xteaming guilds eventually forming.

if you want a balanced teams server you have to make it so that if a faction has more than 5% than the lowest populated faction at our above level 20, you shut down the ability to make characters for that faction until the numbers correct themselves.

R99 is basically a two team server anyway. Only thing hardcoding it does is let people run chardok AE groups.

Great idea! An evil team where the evils can't be evil and attack each other ruins my immersion!

Good idea! Hopefully we'll get a teams beta server once the Velious dust settles.

Seasons box would be nice...we pitched it to Image/Devnoob. My thought was to have certain goals to meet in order to "win" the season. Also had teams, but that did not work out too well
