If red were to ever be restarted, would you support PvP teams?

i really don't see teams ever coming in to play... yea it would be nice, but one team would be completely lopsided.. and it would need to be at least good/neutral/evil like sullon zek style.

two teams wont work, its basically setting up a 2 guild scenario imo. atleast give the option for a 3 guild end game...

you guys should be begging for them to fix resists, dual wurmslayers, whatever other broken shit there is, before you bring up the discussion of teams.

Additionally who ever is calling for item loot needs to be shot. Not only will no one play but the ones that do will just run around naked. It will ruin anything that ever was decent about PVP in EQ to begin with.

As for teams... There already are teams.

Team 1 Nihilium
Team 2 Azreal
Team 3 She looks lvl 18
Team 4 Start a new team if you don't like the team your on

If you want the server to Thrive just wait on Velious and then all that heavenly glory the server will be!

Lastly at 120+ pop on 99% of the server single boxing I would say the RED server is thriving right now! More people than any other PVP emu box has ever gotten.

And there is like 200 more reading the forums that don't even log in just sitting on the fence.

Most likely waiting on Epics or Velious

pop has been hitting 140 on the regular...box is thriving

ive said it before and ill say it again.

look at resists, implement YT.

and watch server blow up

ahahah you can do that???? thats literally better than the best two hander in the game

[Nirgon]

Rallos Zek through Velious ruined everything that was decent about EverQuest PvP to begin with.

A team PVP server would be AWESOME!!

I agree with everyone that 3 hard coded teams is best. Evil/Neut/Good. And things like resists have to work well.

IMHO the #1 thing you HAVE to get right from the start (And a place where sony FAILED big time) is team balance.

I think the races are set up PERFECT for three team balance.

Evil = Troll, Dark Elf, Iksar, Gnome + All Human

Neut = Ogre, Erudite, Half Elf, Halfling + All Human

Good = Barbarian, High Elf, Wood Elf, Dwarf + All Humans


1. Each team has ALL classes

Proverbs28's idea of having Humans on every team is Perfect for this

2. Each team has 5 races

3. Each team has it's very own look and feel and home lands

4. Each team has a Large Tank Race

Evil = Troll
Neut = Ogre
Good = Barbarian

5. Each team has a Short Race

Evil = Gnome
Neut = Halfling
Good = Dwarf

6. Each Team Has an Elf Race

Evil = Dark Elves
Neut = Half Elves
Good = High Elves

7. Each team has a Human Race

Evil = Human
Neut = Erudite
Good = Barbarian

I think a server with this kind of team setup would be perfect!

No one said red isnt doing well. We arent talking about a server wipe, We are talking about another progression server funded by and obvious demand from the community.

Its a different concept altogether then what red99 was to be so i dont see what the fuss is about? Your pixels are safe (i find that to be comforting actually) Rogean said he would never wipe the server, and he shouldent have to if its not what he want to do.

Some people want yellow text, a fair start with gaurds assisting, definite groups because of set teams, different kind of game i think,

If it fails, everyone just go back to red ne ways lol

why try to make up some team system when SZ already had the best one in place? SZ not only provided hard coded teams but the teams fit in with the lore of EQ and RP.

[SamwiseRed]

The 'Teams':

The Good Alliance consists of: Erollisi Marr, Mithaniel Marr, Rodcet Nife, Quellious, Tunare
The Evil Alliance consists of: Bertoxxulous, Cazic Thule, Innoruuk, Rallos Zek
The Neutral Alliance consists of: Brell Serilis, Bristlebane, Karana, Prexus, Solusek Ro, The Tribunal, Veeshan.



There are no Agnostics on Sullon Zek. With the new influence of the gods, those that had not declared for one deity or another have been killed. Everyone now worships a deity, if not out of respect, love or fear of the god, then out of fear for their lives at the hands of fanatics.

Barbarian Shaman and Warriors can choose to worship Mithaniel Marr. Mithaniel Marr was unwilling to abandon all of the noble barbarians that served the good, and many declared themselves in favor of an alliance with Good.

Monks will be able to worship Veeshan. The Temple in Qeynos has discovered some ancient writings that opened up new avenues.

We will be including a method for the Good and Neutral teams to use Summon Corpse or something similar in the near future.

Keep in mind that we will probably be making some changes to this server as things progress.

Enjoy!

i would definitely play if its teams, but wouldnt item loot just result in 99% of the server playing casters?

[SamwiseRed]

I would play anything as long as it had SZ style teams even item loot.
