I'd definitely be interested in this. It'll be interesting to see how they break down the factions. That said, I'm more interested in Velious for P1999.

I think it is going to be an abbreviated progression. I.E. 3-6 months of Classic, followed by 3-6 months of Kunark followed by Velious.
Get your guise and get on with your life type of an arrangement.

Alecta, PvP dev, posted today..
The 'non-management' staff members (no Nilbog or Rogean) had a call to discuss rulesets a few days ago during which we mainly reviewed some of the better community-contributed posts.
We're going to hammer some more details out over the next week or so. I would then like to gather some community feedback on the proposed ruleset.
This weekend I am going to be making a WBS (and hopefully publishing it) so people will have a clearer idea of what needs to be done / what has been done.
So stay tuned for some Teams99 info next week or so

From other of Sirkens post, it looks like they're examining this thread
BRIEF description of a hybrid hard code/soft code 3-faction ruleset - Project 1999
for the basis of teams in their dev internal discussions

Not taking it seriously if they don't make all classes available to all teams. That shit was gamebreaking and retarded the first time around, and now it'd be even worse as the neutral team is self-evidently guaranteed to utterly dominate the server from day one because they have access to all classes and thus not only have agiganticadvantage in direct gameplay but will also be the team of choice of every single serious guild. What a monumentally stupid, wasteful system. I hope they're not seriously listening to that hilariously ill-conceived post. They have the opportunity to actually make a good, balanced PvP server, and choosing something profoundly idiotic like that will only result in another DOA PvP emu that never stood a chance because the developers are fucking morons who refuse to do the sensible thing and insist on breaking shit for no reason.

I'm hoping they find a way to do this as fairly as possible. I mean, ok, evils shouldn't have paladins and druids, and goods shouldn't have shadow knights and necros. But all three teams need to have access to bards, shamans and monks.

Teams PVP - Race/Class Distribution Ruleset - Project 1999Origin_sl said:
My team setup proposal on the P99 boards.
Is there some kind of collective retardation flu going around that makes people think it'd be a good idea to do a teams server where only one of the teams has access to every class? I mean, really. It's the most unintelligent thing I've heard in emu PvP history. It'd make SZ's teams look balanced and equal in comparison. How is this not immediately obvious to some people?

So you want evil paladin and good shadow knight type shit? Or do you want to break completely with EQ lore and have some weird ass shit where no Gods exist?
Anyways, i think the idea is to have teams pvp while maintaining some degree of EQ lore.
Base the teams on something other than deity or race or whatever. What on Earth gives you the impression that it's worth ruining the server from the beginning in order to satisfy Everquest's extremely basic and irrelevant lore? Do you seriously think a server where only one team has every class will ever be anything but an utterly imbalanced, broken, PvP-less waste of development time and resources? 95% of the playerbase would be on the same team. I can't believe this is something that needs to be explained to you.
