If I were a betting man, I'd say that if two guilds both list each other as allies or adversaries, then the chances of those two guilds ending up on the same server essentially doubles, rather than just one guild listing the other.  If we want to game with RL and Jokerz, we should definitely add them as adversaries as they've done for us.  It would show the TOR team that we have a real interest in gaming together.

Honestly, I'd rather we only list three adversaries because that also increases our chances of winding up with the old MxO folks, since not many of them are going Republic.  RL, Jokerz, and Jen'Jidai together would be awesome.  We may not have immediate support from other Empire guilds, but at least we will be up against people we are familiar with.

I made a post here for MxOers: http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?p=9280221#post9280221

Here's the thing. RL and Jokerz don't have many members. Even if we end up on the same server, the chances of running into them are slim (there's no cross-faction chatter AT ALL). There'd only be two or three of them online at any given time. I'd rather group up with guilds that are about our size so that we'll have both a good challenge and good people to group up with.

As I've mentioned before, regardless of what server they put each guild on, I think a majority of MxO guilds will SWITCH to our server regardless, so there's no sense in wasting our ally slots on that.

I tend to agree with T in that I think when we announce (and we should IMO) that FA will be on a certain server there will be MxO vets that will know the name and the rep.  They will come to either help or hunt FA.  And while allies matter I'll go out on a limb and say they better bring all the reds they can dig up because the pain train is about to roll into their station.

On a secondary note this announcement means we're getting closer to launch because they can now plot out servers.  Consider that fact for a moment.  Also the following quote from EA in an investor's call:

"In terms of timing, again, we haven't given a street date yet. We won't do so for some time, possibly at our next upcoming earnings call towards the end of October. We're in beta testing mode. We're expanding the scalability of the testing. It's not about working to complete content. We feel very good about the content. That's ready to go. It's about tuning the game to make sure, for example, we can get the level of concurrent users per server cluster that we want. That the response time is what people would expect. So the factor, just to reiterate what we said last earnings call about timing, we expect to ship Star Wars by the end of this calendar year."

This says.. Content is DONE.  We're just afraid of 2 million players at launch.  

Close, to launch we are.  Meditate on this, I must.

I think this is a really good point. Gotta agree we should focus on guilds with similar numbers rather than logging on and only really a handful of them on at a time compared to the 90 members we have.

Empire has more players so we will always encounter high number of enemies no matter where or who we end up with... I would say we should stick to the good playerbase we know... However... Their low member count is... frightening.

Perhaps we could confirm their level of interest and dedication to the game? Manic? Could you get in contact with RL and Jokerz to see how things are going?

As to...

I'm sorry T, but i'm gonna have to go against you on this one... I think that people wont just give up their saved up Guild Name on the server they end up in, and take a wild shot at the cost of losing up all the preparation they have made, just to be with us...

But then again, I have been proven wrong in the past, so who knows...

If I had the source code... Life would be easier.

For a lot of these smaller guilds the adjustment will be minor if they move to a different server. For someone with our size, it's just easier to already have our members a part of the guild so that I'm not trying to send out 90 invites.

There is cross faction chatter in the form of /say though that is only local.

I also agree that we should try to find guilds that roughly have the same size of members as us, so we have the best Opvp experience we can possibly have.

That's not cross faction...that's localized. If you're close enough to /say, then you won't be doing much talking. Basically there's no way to ORGANIZE anything with the other faction except through PMs on the forums or emails and then just hoping they show up, I guess.

Hello "TheTbone," I am a second-in-command of the Grand Army of the Republic (GAR). As an acting ambassador/diplomat for GAR, I have been tasked with searching for viable alliances. It is in the best interest of the Galactic Republic that I request a triad alliance with "The Furious Angels." If you and the rest of "The Furious Angels" are willing to form an alliance with GAR and Kan Kop, and declaring the same adversary as GAR/Kan Kop, this would guarantee a strong Republic force on whichever server we (GAR, Kan Kop, and The Furious Angels) are placed on. We would be honored to fight by your side.

GAR's Allies:
Kan Kop

GAR's Adversaries:
The Legion of Darkness

GAR HQ: Grand Army

We would appreciate your response as soon as you are able to do so. Best of luck in TOR! :D
