| I think one important difference that needs to be noted is that between an alliance and a hoarde of people. An alliance is a group of people/guilds that always work together to achieve goals (ie my guild, Winter's Light, and our ally, Crimson Twilight on Drinal). A hoarde is a random slew of people that decide to post that x mob is going to drown under 250 people on x date on y server. Alliances deserve just as much credit as single guilds IMO, and in fact, in examples like our Asian alliance (commonly referred to as Voltron), MUCH more administrative work goes into making them work smoothly. |
