Our alliance shifting to Guild Wars 2

So in Guild Wars 2, as of now, there are no alliances confirmed, and just all guilds.

What will we be going for in moving over then? Shall we make one big guild of AoL, since they will make the cap higher if they don't implement alliances:
"How many members can join a guild?

Higher limit than in the previous Guild Wars, up to no limit"

How do you guys think we will transfer over? I really wish they put in alliances, if they do then we can just talk about how dandy that will be, but if they don't: how are we going to get about getting in Gw2?

(I juvv many peoples from our alliance, so I might multi-guild into AoL, Liar (of course), etc. etc. sorry I can't recall ALL of them off the top of my head because I've been off for a bit :O, nonetheless who I know is in which guild

im thinking we make a guild called army of lightness and everyone from the allience will join it , being all officers and leaders become officers ... but we still need to see how guilds are going to be organized.

from what i've heard you will be able to join multiple guilds and when you log on you choose which guild you want to represent at the time. So as I will be bringing RLR into gw2 ,I will also be looking forward to joining the other guilds in our alliance (*If they'll all have me of course*).

that sounds interesting

I just see that will cause some drama. One of the main causes of E-drama is guild hopping. I just hope it wouldn't be as it once was.

i have a better idea.... i make a guild called "Followers of the mighty zero" and everyone joins and gives me their souls.... then....i will take over out gw2 world!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



so who's with me..?

^ Me.

But only if I can be your deputy and retain 50% of my soul.

^ooh good idea, I kind of hope they have co-leader/deputy places :O

fine... ill take half your soul then and once i take over our world ull have your soul back while my minions iwll get half of it back

Okay so it doesn't look like Alliances will be in Guild Wars 2...
They might eventually

But I hope something gets happening so I can join in Liar and AoL for Guild Wars 2 !!!

The guild roster looks a lot better (to make your own ranks, and finding people) so I think it will be great either way.

We could at least get all the guilds on the same server.

I hope that's how it works. Then allies could be members of their own guild as well as the alliance guild.

For example: The alliance guild would be the guild all allies joined. That guild could be called "Alliance of Lightness." Then, GW1 members of Army of Lightness would join the GW2 "Army of Lightness" guild as well.

ooo, I wanna be in some other guilds from our ally maybe too then, if we do that . Friends are fun

We at RLR will be Happy to have anyone who wants to join us as well as join anyone who wants me/us.So stoked

I will be in AoL as I have been loyal to them for ever! (Kiera already owns my soul!) But I say when the time comes we organize an alliance roster so we can add everyone to our friends list if there are in different guilds. It would be cool if we could tag people into groups so I could tag them by their guild.

i would really love it if i could be in AoL as well as MC. My parents made a rule where i cant play guild wars (and im guessing gw2 as well) unless im in MC because MC has real life friends in it. And well, i dont wanna lose all the awesome people i've met in this alliance!
*glares at zero* NO SOULS FOR U!!!

I'll be in a guild with RL friends (1.), real good friend I need to spend more time with (made frends with her on gw1)(2.), old guild that people I know in RL and some I don't but I <3 (3.), and Liar (4.), and AoL(5.), other guilds from the ally if I can manage this many guilds!!!

But I think Liar and AoL will be the more active ones, and I'll flip to the others if they are on

I can't wait.
I just hope I can get invite to our alliance (Liar/AoL/whatever) right when I log in.

Dont know how big a guild will be, but hopefully we can get as many of the alliance into one as we can. I havent found any information about alliances yet either.

It is looking like they may not make release.

It really sucks that they aren't supporting alliances in Guild Wars 2. I get the fact that you can belong to multiple guilds, but you can only represent them one at a time, and you will only see the chat from one at a time. Also, if there is a member cap, which looks like 100 now, we won't have room to grow the guild and have every member of every alliance in every guild. Another negative to having members that don't represent is that they are taking up space and not contributing to the guilds influence. There just won't be room.

I would like to see all of our guilds full of active members again like the good old days, and I will really miss full alliance chat. Having to switch representation or PM people to chat or ask the larger group for help will be annoying. Not happy about this at all.

Yes, but not a centre of attention guild.

The one guild to rule us all (encompass all alliance members) should not be focused on in regards to influence but rather for social means. Then at times we can shift to our alliance guild if we can organize some sort of event; the main alliance guild will be fueled in influence from those alliance events.

I truly hope that happens early (the guild cap being very high).

If guilg cap will be no limit we can solve it that way I guess, one giant guild for allianc, events and each guild as it's own guild for their private activities.... And maybe eventually Anet will implement Alliance in the future

My two cents. Each Guild currently in Alliance deserves to have its own unique presence in GW 2 with people who are actively committed to pushing it forward towards whatever awaits, this is our legacy folks for the hours upon hours we've slogged away here in GW 1, taking pride of Guild and Friends housed within. This means porting over each GL and Officer to start for every respective Guild. Yeah it sucks because we're not use to it, but in the beginning of 1 it was all we had. Remember that? We HAD to talk to each other in guild-chat, we asked each other what was going on, got involved in the Guild and supported each other. It wasn't a matter of logging in and staying quiet, it forced involvement because if you kept quiet you didn't get much done unless it was with outside the Guild help. We were left with relying simply ON the Guild and new friends found in outposts to get through areas. We have become accustomed to Alliance as an alternative for pugging and the social aspect.

This is by no means discounting our Current Alliance, but it remains a fact that each Guild was created and has been maintained as a separate entity with a common bond that kept the AoL Alliance going, not ruled by "1 person with many alts" who's the GL of each Guild. As far as I'm aware, each Guild currently IN this Alliance plans to have an active presence in GW 2 so it is not fair to expect abandonment of that in order to join a "mega-guild" encompassing all and ruling the server world. It means more opportunity for people, chances to grow and shine, not sit back and twiddle the collective thumbs.

I would love to see a huge social guild we can all kick to when we're needing respite from whatevers, but as Beau has stated

Another negative to having members that don't represent is that they are taking up space and not contributing to the guilds influence

I strongly feel that while our ties are tight, we can't let it cripple our unique, individual Guilds from moving forward in GW 2 while awaiting a decision regarding Alliances. We have voice, we have forum, we have friends lists... there is NO reason ANY bond that's been formed needs to be disregarded due to GW 2. If anything this will allow MORE opportunity because we are not all on the same server, and while wvwvwvw w/e will be limited, there IS the Guesting option since it seems right now that their idea is whatever server you're on, that IS your Alliance. No reason though you can't hit up friends list to get people over to your server for help and fun during spawns.

It's not fair to get into the mega-guild mindset encompassing current Ally because that'd be like saying "OK AoL you are going to fold into "Fuzzy Bunnahhh Slippers [Bite] in GW 2." As a former GL and current Officer I'd be completely ticked off furious and spitting mad pissed at not getting a chance for MY Guild to strut its stuff.

We will survive whatever happens in the beginning of GW 2, so long as each Guild holds true to its self there is NO reason we can't keep the Alliance party going even if the game doesn't make it "convenient"

Edited: Also- this is an opportunity for those currently IN the AoL Guild, or for that matter any of the Other Guilds, to have a chance to step it and a part of the Leadership if the others so choose. For many that have returned or are new to 1 but chawing at the bit for 2 to release, they bring exciting ideas and goals, and I would love to see them shine, do their thing and excel in GW 2 where we all begin at a level playing field.

Woot I'm just happy the moment is almost here! AoL is my home for GW and always will be! Excited to kick up some new adventures and getting into new trouble with the gang! No red dots though but I am sure there will be plenty of opportunity to aggro every enemy in sight!

Lol awwww i miss red dots on the mini map!

me toooooooo
