Here is what I do not get. The 3 teams were done before in Kings and Bandits. They had the teams system with custom stuff, then everybody quit. I do think the 3 team system works, but then you get the "It is not classic" crowd and everyone quits. It is just a flavor of the month syndrome. Will be fun for a few months, then people will go back to red 99.
People didn't quit K&B due to the teams system. The faction system on that server was amazing and the pvp was some of the funniest I've had. What made people quit was that the server had custom zones, pvp loot NPCs, the Nexus, Translocators/Spires taking people around the world, etc. K&B was crazy fun for how easy it was to pvp, but that server was really far from classic. Custom servers are super fun until a month or two passes and you want to feel nostalgic. Which is why we have to be careful here not to make things too customized.
Now the reason their next server failed (Red69--turned into Legacy of Zek) was because 1: the competition of Red99, and 2: the xp was too fast (kind of funny because that's what most people complain about.) I love Image and Devnoob and wish they'd come to Project1999 but Image refused an offer from the P99 team because he firmly believes that you should share your code and the community should benefit from that. P99 is a closed source project.

I really like the idea of 3 teams we just need to find a fairly classic way to accomplish this. As I said in my previous post, we don't need to add things such as murderer tag and a few things, but these super small custom changes may enhance the game. Kind of why I think we should have shit like compasses.
