Remember, opposing alliances cannot group together, so there is little reason to be able to communicate with each other in the first place.

All members of the same alliance start with the ability to speak to each other.

If this does not smell like a Team based sytem then i don;t what is. He SAID we cannot even group with people of the opposite alliance.....then what DO we do with them? I suspect some killing!

[Keta Mean]

so what do we do when some of us want to go another race? how do we communicate with others? this will make things a little difficult for us ;) if it happens like this we are gonna need to have a nice long discussion on how we approach this.

Yeah, I am going to be orc...

If they make it tyeams, we will pick a team and play that team. Just like on Sullon Zek or PS, if you want to play another team, then you will obviously not be in the guild for that game as we gonna PKorzer you :)

But it will not be race based anyhow. Notice he said "alliance". My guess is several races will make up an alliance. There will prolly be no more then 3 Alliances, possibly only 2 (Evil and good).

One can assume the Undead and Orcs and Night Elves will make up an alliance....which is likely what we will play...however i gotta see what KAAOS is gonna play first (cause i just have to kill those guys :D ) altho i dunno if I can be a goody either..... damnit.

Oh, and before you say they don;t have Night Elves and Undead, I am making an assumption they WILL make those races....

I am also beginning to think ALL of the server will be PvP with alliances vs each other...or at the least, this under big discussion. Again, just MHO. But how can they not let you group or even communicate....and NOT let you PvP? What would you do? Stare at each other? hehe. Of course not.

Another thing I am nervous about with picking the evil faction is game balance. THEY (blizzard) will have learned from Sullon Zek where EVERYONE and their grandmother picked evil for the "cool" factor of playing on that team...i guess....(altho the simple power of the teams was inblanced in favor of evils too...whiich was retarded)....they gotta be careful that not everyone will want to play evil.

I am hoping they pay attn to team balance better then the tards who made the SZ teams.

[Fizzletwit]

why did you put elves with undead? you didnt play WC3 did ya =p

my guess is tauren/orc evil team
human /dorf /elf good team

and undead added to evil team when they are added (at release or expansion)

[Xondio]

I'm sure undead will be added at release, I doubt they would pull this stupid Star Wars Galaxies shit.

Blizzard is a better company and know how to make games... it just takes them longer lol. One thing you gatta give sony is their pioneering into the MMO world though, and it's funny I'd rather play EQ than any other of these MMORPG pieces of shit. (notice MMORPG not MMO heh)

[GrayRage]

Sorry meant Blood Elves.

[Astoron]

Wow this sounds great hehe. Good (anti pks) vs evil ( bad asses).
Sounds good to me. This will also keep things from getting boring. We will have to deal with different type of spells, races and creatures not of our team. I think thats very cool. Sounds like a raid party in the making. Taking over all their zones and holding it. Corpse camping, zone camping. IT WILL ALL BE THERE! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

I will miss my daily knife fighting with Exxodus though *sigh*
