Guild Wars 2

There are a great many thing “in the works” at the moment but would like to ask this.

When will Alliances be available in game?

There are several guilds on each server that have teamed up to work together in WvW as one would expect. The issue is not everyone can get on a voip or afford a large client like a TS3 or vent server with monthly fees. Even using “/Team” or “/Map” channels can be confusing when there are multiple operations going on. What if we need reinforcements, being able to access a chat channel that reaches all guilds in said alliance would be beneficial to all.

I truly believe that a great many guild would benefit and see this as a useful tool for all aspects of the game.

When will alliances be available in game, regardless of WvW.

There are very many original/historic alliances that have transferred from GW1 and new alliances that have transferred from games like War Hammer.

My guild currently has 4 guilds, yet they have to rely on external tools to communicate with each other, whether for general communication, creating groups from the membership, co-ordination of guild social events, co-ordinating in WvW, etc.

This is a very sad omission of the excellent guild alliance mechanism from GW1 that is vital for social communities in this game.

There is another thread about adding the ability to see “unrepresented guild” chat. I see this as an additional feature that should be implemented as well.

Ok apparently that thread was removed, oh well.
