Never understood why people think teams pvp is more "blue" than FFA. I pvp'd way more on Vallon Zek then I did on Rallos. On teams if an enemy team is in your zone (or you go to their zone) you kill em no questions asked. Rallos was super blue unless you wanted to be shunned as a "pker". For 95% of the people, Rallos was just a blue server where you would get ganked here and there.

Because not everyone played on both for a true comparison. I can't say I blame people for thinking a teams server would be more blue, at a very high level I think people envision it this way:
R99: I can kill anyone
T99: I can only kill 66% of the people (assuming even team distribution)
In reality it's more like this:
R99: I can only kill about 10% of the people I see, because X% are in a friendly guild or one I don't want to piss off, this guy rezzed me once in Guk so I owe him and I'll leave him alone, this other guy is a friend of a friend, I don't want to kill this guy and get labeled a random PK and get ganked everywhere I go, etc.
T99: I see someone, are they attackable? Yes? Attack!
As a long time RZ and SZ player, I will agree with your statement 100%. There is FAR more PVP on a teams PVP server.
Another piece of it was a much larger level range, although I'm not sure how well that would work with a small server population. I think it would become nearly impossible to start a new character and play on this server if level 60s could roll through and wipe out all the newbies in crushbone or something.
