Legacy of Elijah Officer
As I am sure you are all aware, our alliance is allied with the Kurzick faction in the Factions campaign. [SoE] made the decision to ally with the Kurzick side long ago, even before Factions was released based on the information ArenaNet released at that time. Our decision was based on a poll of the members and basically followed the "spiritual" nature of the Kurzicks over the "power" or "might" that rule the Luxons. As other guilds joined our alliance many were already with the Kurzicks, others changed sides to join in our fellowship.
The population of Guild wars, particularly in alliance battles and competitive missions has, over time, taken an ugly turn in the case of some individuals where the hostility between factions has spread from playful joking to much more mean-spirited rivalry. I have received some reports that this has spread within our alliance lately. Although I have not witnessed it directly, I truly hope it was intended in a playful spirit. However, I would like to caution each of you to consider your words before you "speak" them and make sure they aren't misunderstood as mean spirited.
The leadership of the guilds discussed the possibility of converting to Luxon on April 1 as a "April Fools" joke on the alliance as well as soften any faction-ism. However, after deciding that we liked the idea, we discovered that we would need to dissolve the alliance, switch each guild, then re-form the alliance. We did not receive feedback from a few of the guilds and didn't want to risk loosing them in the confusion. We're still considering it and work on getting every guild on-board before we make the move, so stay tuned, you may just log on some day and find that we are suddenly a part of the Luxon Armada.
