Well, ok it's not "classic", but Luclin had far nicer character graphics. I think everyone can agree on that.

#1 on things I'd like to see nerfed list, followed by epic quest turn ins being accepted at sub-50, and Chest being allowed to play on this server.

A locked test server more important than red, apparently :p

Cats on the moon will never happen on this server.

And that is a good thing. Luclin models were so terrible, for the most part. Although I did like the Ogre and Iksar models, I still used old-school ones for both.
teams99 will crush all opposition

We cant. The new character models looked retarded and half of them didn't move correctly. I had them turned off when I played live.

I wish they had put dwarves on a separate team, though. Dwarves suck and should always be kos. But with elves being the objectively coolest races, it looks like we'll be stuck holding hands with those blah dwarves :(
shorties are suppose to love their fellow ugly shorties

that image is pretty much exactly where staff is at, although we have a plan in the works to ensure that the pecks/elves have something to replace the shaman slow.
we'll give more info on teams after velious. right now thats where all the devs are focused.

Does anyone know where the teams server will start, in terms of timeline?
Will there be guise/manastone etc on this sever, or will it start in these place as blue and red are currently?

Sirken said that teams will be spoken of AFTER Velious launches.

Shorties / Elves were separate teams.

Not anymore.
3 teams, consolidating the two least populated teams into one for balance purposes.

Better not. Shit ain't classic.
No balance in 6 races vs 3 vs 4
True balance in 3 v 3 v 3 v 4

Its going to be a 3 team server, that much is certain, like SZ. However, unlike SZ, it is going to be split along racial lines. Unlike VZ, its going to have item loot. Worry less about adherence to any one of the classic pvp server rule sets and consider it more of a blending of the best qualities of all the servers rolled into one team server. Applying lessons learned from the failings of the current red server, and what worked and what didn't on previous pvp servers both emulated and live.
Previous teams servers saw total Evil hegemony, with good, neutral or shortie / elven teams respectively being crushed. A way to mitigate that is to combine two traditionally smaller teams into a larger, and more able to compete team i.e. elves+shorties. This not only allows for more players active in that team, but allows for the same ability to get through newbie levels unmolested as Qeyonsian Humans, or Ogre/Trolls do in their isolated newbie areas.
It doesn't seem balanced if what is traditionally the largest team, with its Ogres and Trolls are leveling unfettered through their low levels in guk, whereas the two least populated teams (If elves and shorties were stinct teams) are battling over crushbone.
Newbie pvp is some of the most fun I've ever had in an MMORPG, Red99 launch day in Blackburrow was amazing, but something that has been learned since then is one needs to foster a support-network for lowbies to get off the ground, make pals, and get pseudo established before thrusting them into pvp for long term player retention purposes.
They should be brave and take a poll, 4 teams would crush 3 teams

99.9% chance that this test environment has nothing to do with Teams server, probably like a 50% chance that it's not a P99 test environment at all.
You guys missed the polls and the huge long discussions about teams makeup 'cause you never come visit us in the red forums :(
It gets lonely there without you.
I saw all the polls we never had one that put 4 teams directly against 3 teams as the only two options
1. What advantage does the elf/shorty team have? The only pullers for pve will be gnome necros.... dumb.
2. Preventing evil team from having bards will create a similar, retard-level imbalance.
3. under this scenario, the human team is way over powered.

A server testing the Eqmac client I hope :-)
Human team isn't overpowered because most of the good looking races and "best" races for each class are all on the other teams. Vanity and min/maxing will put the team of men in last place

This seems unlikely, but ... is it necessary? I'm running the "normal" client under Wine on a Mac with no problems.
Ok, one small problem - if I set and ignore the game for a while; 15 mins or so; it sometimes freezes up with the spinning beachball. So I avoid doing that. But generally during "normal" gameplay it works very, very well.

I meant because it is much more classic graphically and can be used on pc. Not likely anytime soon though.

Ah, cool; I didn't realize that. I only had the current mac and the 1984 mac so didn't have one then.

This. Despite the humans having access to ALL classes, its balanced due to aesthetic preference many have towards Elf/Short races and the desire many have to min/max on an individual basis and play a ogre warrior, iksar monk, troll SK, halfling druid, or whatever they feel is the best combination for their play style, etc.

I bet Nihilim/TMO etc go Human, maaaaaybe evil, but if I was a betting man I'd say the Human/Erudite/Barbarian Team.
