3 Teams:
Fay Team- All Fay characters begin in Felwithe. Includes High Elves, Half Elves, Wood Elves, Gnomes, and Dwarves. Team Fay “owns” Felwithe, Gfay, Butcherblock, and Dagnor’s. Team Fay also begins the game “occupying” Crushbone and Unrest.
Dark Team- All Dark characters begin in Neriak. Includes Dark Elves, Trolls, Ogres, and Iksar. Team Dark “owns” Neriak, Nektulos, and Lavastorm. Team Dark also begins the game “occupying” Najena and Sol A.
Human Team- All Human characters begin in Qeynos. Includes Humans, Barbarians, Erudites, and Halflings. Team Human "owns" Qeynos, Qeynos Hills, and Everfrost Peaks. Team Human also begins the game “occupying” Blackburrow and Permafrost.
All zones not noted above begin as “neutral.”
If your team owns a zone, it is heavily stationed with NPC guards and "death squads" from your own faction that are hostile to all other factions. Travel through a zone owned by another faction will be possible but dangerous. PvPing in a zone owned by another faction will be very difficult due to NPC guard assist.
You can only "own" the zones you start with, but most other zones can be occupied. Occupied zones have guards from your faction at zonelines and a small "contingency" of NPCs from your faction somewhere within the zone. PvPing in a zone occupied by another faction will be challenging but possible. Succinctly- you can do it, but you better bring friends.
Top tier zones- Guk, Sol B, Mistmoore, and Kedge- cannot be occupied by any team (these are the big battleground zones).
Aside from those, just about every other neutral zone can be taken over and occupied by the teams. Your team can occupy a zone by finding the right contingency of neutral NPCs within the zone, defeating them, and installing a faction of NPCs from your own contingency. Another team can take over a zone you occupy by killing your NPCs and installing their own.
Occupying certain zones (or combinations of zones) grants your team advantages. Does your team hold the Karanas? You get the “Breadbasket” benefit, which gives you more NPC guards in every zone you occupy. Do you occupy Rivervale? All members of your team get “Blessing of the Vale,” which gives you a constant Regeneration buff. Occupy Freeport, and everyone on your team gets the “Trade City” benefit, which deposits a certain amount of plat in every team member’s bank each hour. Etc.
Each team has a color: Fay- Green; Dark- Red; Human- Blue. The server website features a big geopolitical map of Norrath showing (by color), which team controls which zones.
When one team manages to occupy every zone that can be occupied, that team wins and the server resets.
Limit of 2 accounts per IP- no exceptions. You can box (but with just 2 PCs), you can play with your wife, whatever you want- but you can’t have more than 2 connects per IP.
