Default Good vs. Evil PvP Server by Shin

I'm working on an experimental revision of the source to utilize a Good vs. Evil 2 sided faction based PvP system. I'm taking code I implemented when I moved VZTZ's old source to 0.8.0 and adding new weird things for added fun.

Right now it is purely experimental, I will be putting up a playground sandbox for players to instantly become level 30 with spells/gear and the ability to be transported to an instanced version of a battleground-like scenario where you need to siege a castle.

For now this server has no guarenteed up time, nor is it for any purpose other than testing, but later I plan to create a LDoN-influenced PvP point reward system you can "cash in" PvP kills for gear etc. I'll go into details on how this portion works later.

I post progress at my old VZTZ forums, http://gigaplox.com/cov/

Feel free to reply here or at my forums to discuss what you think of this PvP server idea, granted I have kept it pretty vague thus far.

Good will be comprised of High Elves, Wood Elves, Vah Shir and Guktan races, along with neutral aligned races that choose to be good.

Evil will be comprised of Dark Elves, Trolls, Ogres, and Iksar races, along with neutral aligned races that choose to be evil.

This allows each side full access to all class combinations, so bards aren't good only etc, while keeping races that are obviously lawful or evil in their proper spot.

It's not really up very long yet, as I'm still working on it.
But name should be.. "Good vs. Evil Testing (Shin) with a website link, look under G on the standard servers.

Quick list of stuff I've tweaked thus far:
Evil uses red names (PvP con), Good uses blue names (normal con), so it's very easy to tell alignment at first glance.

Custom con system .

It is utilizing a funky combination of 0.8.0 code and old VZTZ source code, it'll likely need a lot of hacking to make PVP worthwhile.

I've temporarily disabled all zone-based teleportation spells, such as Evac, Gate, Portals etc..

Out of Combat Regen works, but it takes 1 minute to apply, and regens you at 3% per tick. May increase regen or decrease start timer later if needed.

Almost done with the battleground system's alpha template, so you can try out the new mob system and have NPC's with you to help take over the estate of unrest or defend against attackers, almost DoTA style.

You guys were playing on a bastardization of a server I just threw up for fun, didn't realize it was going to be as popular as it was. It was full of bugs I couldn't fix, and couldn't find a staff to help me fix it. So I took it down.

This server is just me testing code, and is not a real server. It is done purely at leisure. I'm not dedicated to it yet, as it's just me testing and having fun working custom code in.

Will probably post any change I do so other servers can benefit from it if they like the systems.

Not sure it will ever blossom to a full server or not. If it does, I want a staff to help oversee it. No more one man project for me. :P too stressful.

Just to link, my changes can be found here for this code:
http://www.eqemulator.net/forums/showthread.php?t=29689
I have a SVN edition too somewhere, if you prefer that.
but right now, my biggest concern is I would need more devs to do any project.

lol. I don't think this will happen, frankly. I may keep throwing in some brainstormin ideas and such, but I know quite a few EQEMU devs and most aren't too interested in this project I've talked to. Plus, I'm getting some work with other projects so this may be one of those things that "may eventually happen, but not any time soon" sort of things.

I don't even like playing PVP EQ too much, I just enjoy writing stuff for it.
