Teams till level 40, after 40, you auto-guild into your "team guild" but the ruleset is FFA

This is just a con game into a FFA rule set and does nothing to "appease both sides".

this helps new players gain friends, experience some pvp, and level with a bit of safety for awhile before they become "big boys" and move into FFA land

If you had played EQ live PvP then you would know that Rallos Zek was a joke and Sullon Zek (the teams server) was where the "big boys" played.

sullon zek wasnt around when i started on a pvp server and when it game out, mid/late velious?, I had friends and a guild i liked. Sometimes i wish i went to sz when it came out, it would of been nice to start over with everyone and have almost 3 years of experience under my belt so that i would not of made the day one newb mistakes and i would know where to go for items and what to kill.

Wehr what class did you play and what team on sz?

After P1999 PvP launches and dwarfs the population of P99 blue, what should happen to the blue server?

It will be shut down and replaced with Asheron's Call 1 server...
I was also told on good authority that Bill Gates himself will be playing...
He might even consider donating if devs replicate AC1 well enough.

heh.. sullon was because of the "no rules", not teams. vallon/tallon were also teams...

and teams till 40 sounds better to the pro-teamers than no teams at all right? to make teams workable you'd have to be able to attack your own team/be able to switch teams even. i tried coming up with a teams idea that would let ppl play both team and FFA style, where you basically got flagged FFA if you killed your team enough/they killed you enough. posted about it somewhere else but no one seemed too interested. most likely because if it's not simple, then it wouldn't happen anyway. teams till 40 sounds like a simple idea that at least gets some of the biggest benefit of having teams - which is fostering some kinship between ppl, who many believe would otherwise automatically be enemies on day 1 (i dont think this is necessarily true but whatever).

I also liked the idea of an auto-guild that every level 1 created would join, so that newbs could be in a guild and connect with eachother. and maybe even some higher levels would remain in the guild to try and help them. suggested this for VZTZ and i believe they were considering just before the server died


just trying to come up with things that make everyone happy, so we can have the most pop. but just having teams as they were on live would not work, it would need some customization and at least FFA zones (raid zones)

The only rule set that matters is the one at level 50 so your post was nothing but an attempt to con people into FFA.

Teams wouldn't work? Give up the stupid lies dude. There were multiple teams PvP servers on EQ live and only one FFA because FFA is the one that doesn't work.

Did you even play on an EQ live PvP server? RZ was the trash server with the worst PvP out of them all.

Pretending like FFA is the more viable option is delusional at best and propaganda at worst.

I miss Asheron's Call. I would actually play that game right now just for the nostalgia. Too bad it's dead....

during your time how would you rate the teams? Even? Close enough? Very lopsided?

Was there a Team that was the pvp leaders by a good amount?

A team that was taking all the pve targets?

Sullon Zek - August '02

* Good: 1485 - 33.2%
* Neutral: 1201 - 26.9%
* Evil: 1783 - 39.9%

With 3 teams you get a population disparity between the most and least populated side. With 2 teams the difference is negligible which is why having only 2 is much better for balance.
