Hi Abbey,
A teams PVP server would be Great!
All anyone ever makes are either blue or Free for all Red servers & they're getting real boring.
I think a PVP server with 3 or 4 teams would be best. 2 is not enough & more then 4 is to many.
The #1 thing you have to do is make sure the teams are Balanced! If they're not balanced it won't work.
Hard coding the teams is a must. No healing people from another team.
You could devide the teams by race &/or deity.
Race is pretty easy to balance but if you use deity you'll have to remake a lot of the deity combos to balance it.
I wouldn't think it would be that much work but if you didn't the teams would be extremely unbalanced like on Sullon Zek & really hurt the server.
If you did 3 hard coded teams. Evil/Neut/Good say.
This Idea I had on a PVP server forum is a really well balanced split for 3 teams using the races.
Evil = Troll, Dark Elf, Iksar, Gnome + All Human
Neut = Ogre, Erudite, Half Elf, Halfling + All Human
Good = Barbarian, High Elf, Wood Elf, Dwarf + All Humans
1. Each team has ALL classes
Having Humans on every team is Perfect for this
2. Each team has 5 races
3. Each team has it's very own look and feel and home lands
4. Each team has a Large Tank Race
Evil = Troll
Neut = Ogre
Good = Barbarian
Each team has a caster heavy race
Evil = Dark Elves
Neut = Erudites
Good = High Elves
5. Each team has a Short Race
Evil = Gnome
Neut = Halfling
Good = Dwarf
6. Each Team Has an Elf Race
Evil = Dark Elves
Neut = Half Elves
Good = High Elves
7. Each team has a Human Race
Evil = Human
Neut = Erudite
Good = Barbarian
This is one team setup that's very well balanced & I'm sure there are a lot ways you could split teams based on Race/Deity
depending on what kind of teams server you wanted.
I'd like to say more but it's late lol
