Guild Wars 2

One of my favorite things about the original Guild Wars was that guilds could form alliances. Even at 500 members per guild there are many GW1 “guilds” that had many more members than that and were able to consider themselves one group by establishing alliances. With the way servers work, the limit on guild size and the lack of alliances, many of our former communities are being divided. If you are going to limit guild size, please bring back Alliances so we with larger groups can still game easily together and enjoy the community we once had.

I am a member of MARA which has been represented in GW1 for a very long time. We are still present in GW1, with very large and active guilds on both the Kurzick and Luxon sides. Without the ability to ally with another guild and the alliance chat that was available in game, our 1000+ members on GW1 would be a string of unaffiliated gamers with the same Guild tag, unable to communicate, coordinate or converse without going through a ridiculous process.

In GW2 we are encountering this same problem. Our first guild has grown to the maximum allowable members which has forced us to begin a new guild – which is not a bad thing at all really. The bad thing is that we cannot talk to each other. That is more than bad, it’s downright un-Guild Wars.

I would love to see an alliance ability added to the game ASAP. I urge everyone to pressure Anet into getting it done!
