Server wipe

[Sear]

No, an FFA PvP server is completely capable of having a strong war that goes on for months with good pvp over targets. It happened on RZ and could have gone on for longer.

A teams ruleset forces a minimum # of competing sides.

One will be dominant, but you always have X number of teams.

Would you rather have that zerg-limiting constraint in at character creation (based on race), or as a hopeful pipe dream for players to create competing guilds?

Teams also throws casual players a bone and gives them clearly-defined zones to fight for and players to ally with or attack. As opposed to "just group with everyone till 60 and then join the zerg guild".
