A proposed PvP Teams ruleset: Modified SZ (long)

[runlvlzero]

I liked SZ teams on live. Don't want it to replace this server. But if there were like 600 posts from unique accounts. I'd say it would be worth some investment.

Stop posting, you have no clue at all what you are talking about. You "think" they suck, you don't know. Those who have played SZ ruleset KNOW its great

Very convincing argument. Except almost every single MMO has had a team pvp server. It's like you're from the past and you have no knowledge of anything that's transpired since 1999.

It's a terrible idea to think the Evil side won't dominate again. You can spout all the supposed veteran sentiment all you want. As long as necromancers and sks are unique to one team that's an incredible lure and boost on a pvp teams server. The counter lure is suppose to be druids and paladins but as long as they are split between two teams, it just becomes too dilluted of a force strength. I think sullon zek was my favorite EQ experience, I am with everyone on everything else just 2 teams instead of 3. Those that fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it

I think you are underestimating the impact of the team balancing changes I proposed. FFA PvP among the Evils would make them a less cohesive force. Smaller numbers of Goods and Newts would have a greater impact than they did on SZ. And the bonuses for those teams would attract more players to reduce the population discrepancy further. Also, most people coming from Blue would probably roll Neutral or Good to avoid the prospect of FFA PvP on evil.

That being said, I would rather see this server with 2 teams than not at all. But I think 3 teams is best and provides the richest experience, despite the inherent balancing challenges.

I saw your changes, we're all on the same side I think, trying to get to the same end result, just have different approaches that's all.

tldr

nothing he has to say hasn't been said. Teams offers nothing for the server.

Literally the greatest .jpg in all of recorded history.

didn't read but i don't think any ruleset changes can save the server without a complete wipe at this point and there's never going to be a wipe so server dead

perhaps blue transfers could get it done, but what would keep nizzar from absorbing all these bluebies and just make a bigger nihilum? Nothing. There's no rules again'st recruiting everyone, and since getting pixels is the most important, that's what's going to happen.

Yuk... let the blubies copy over
