Reasons why removing alliances would be a good thing:Although people could still have their "allies" come to help them it would prove to be a harder task than it sounds, for the following reasons..No ally protectionsThis would prove to be a major challenge. Not only would DMG AoE's, CC, and overall tab-targeting be an issue, but the map would be a complete cluster****. It would be very hard to attack your enemy without having collateral damage.More solo-PKDue to the complications stated above, guilds would most likely be more inclined do have solo "1V1" PK, this would be good for forming loyalty between members and may even spike the overall PK on the server, having people not sitting in SZ all day waiting for their allies to log online.MergesSince players would be more inclined to join the more "exclusive" larger factions for PK, there would be less alliances, meaning less factions, which in return would give more PK.Artifex is the largest guild on the server, without Alliances it is very difficult to fight them using full strength for TW, DT, and Mass PK. Guilds are successful against them only when allied, or having roughly around the same numbers on the battlefield. Guilds would be more than likely forced to abandon their rivalries and ego's in order to defeat the "enemy", and merge together under one banner in order to have the PK that they are craving for. This doesn't only go for current factions such as Tyrants, Warning, Worms, this also goes for guilds to come in the future.. As well as the chinese guilds that are starting to get stale due to the reduction of Worms.I doubt that its "impossible to do this", however I'm sure that the staff are going to say that it's too much work, or that it can't be done because of the lack of "source code"..However, if this was implemented, it would make the server a lot more fun in my opinion, and perhaps even bring back some of the old mechanics such as TW that made PW much more fun overall.Notes to the GM's :I know that since this is a system that was added w/ a major patch, it is probably impossible to completely remove the system all together. However, would it be possible to deny the possibility of alliances?By either; ♦ Removing the listing of guilds on the diplomacy list?♦ Making the duration of alliances around 1 minute?♦ Something that would render the system completely useless?These are an alternative that I'm sure can be edited.
GM please remove elementclient.exe
