I was thinking of a complete overhaul of the Team Server or the creation of another server. (But I think there are enough servers)
The idea would be to have 5 person teams, however, randomize who is in each team. (ala Utopia) This would create an interesting dynamic in terms of strategy, politics, and social aspects to the game.
There could be forums installed into the game menus where people could work on their internal team politics, while using Team Talk forums for their foreign affair needs.
A lot of people are bored or don't like the current set up of Team Server as one alliance has taken up pretty much the entire server, even people in that one super alliance. This new dynamic would cause people to work together for the common good.
Of course, there would be downfalls. People may not socialize, people may suicide or work towards the common goal, trying to teach new players, people who vacation/quit, etc. If there were a way to vote for someone to be a leader and ways to vote people off the team (who are then sent to another team) I think it would help the internal issues a bit.
Personally, I don't care if it is implemented or not. I don't really play Team Server anymore, it bored me with the large alliances of 5-man tags. It just felt like alliance server so it felt redundant. However, if it were implemented or tried out, I would definitely be one of the users to try this new style.
Of course there were other issues when I was bouncing these ideas off GeneralEarl a few weeks ago, but that was the basics. You guys can work on the rest if you think it's worthy of trying out. Or ask the community, there are some smart people out there.
