Teams - whats better?

[KB_Trader]

Also, the team thing should be handled in a innovative way instead of the old mantra of "SHIT AINT CLASSIC." The shit ppl can do with eqemu is REALLY impressive so I know it wouldn't be difficult to set up some sort of system to assist in team balance. Someone mentioned Planetside 2 - I only played the sequel very briefly, but the first game had a system in place that granted the team with a lower population various bonuses. Something like that would be cool - a scaling xp/drop bonus based on the percentage of the population that each team has. Say the evil team has 100 people on, news have 70, and goods have 50 - evil would get no bonus, newts would get a small bonus, and goods would get a fairly substantial bonus.

Whats the point of a thread like this unless there is an agenda for another server? Or is it just another Amelinda-style thread where ideas get batted around for 6 months until the thread is put out to pasture? Maybe Rogean demands that the GMs get a certain amount of page views in their respective forums every month like a cop needing to get enough tickets...

Regardless, whatever the makeup of the server is, I'd play on Nizzarrs team (side) because you cannot compete with something that has no outside world communication that it is almost like playing with the undead. Once you get Battle, Tune, and the other 350 days /played crew up there, it's pretty much a lock at them recruiting a zerg and despite thousands of deaths to players, they will still acquire pixels.

would be cool to have team based ooc instead of global. got some ideas that would immerse the immersible.

Inside sources are telling me that the R99 database went poof on Rogean, please see my RnF thread regarding this and why it is good for the server (though maybe not the 5 pixel kings in Nilly).


*also chuck dont try to suck up, we're on the skids.

Was just talking to Germanic earlier about stuff like this. I'm ready to abandon my bluebie shell.

Yeah, I mentioned PlanetSide - I played the crap out of the first game and have CR5s on all three empires. PS2, I didn't get into.

Totally agree with what you say here, bud.

2 teams are worse than 0 teams, because at least with 0 teams you have the possibility of guilds ganging up against the uberguild that is ruining the server. With 2 teams you prevent that from happening because people are far less likely to reroll.

3 teams is fantastic because you can have 2 teams ganging up against whatever team gets too big for itself. 4 teams seems to just encourage crossteaming and invulnerable healing. Vallon Zek held off on it for as long as possible, to the neglect of the evil side.
