Throne and Liberty took a big cut out of its alliance system this past week, halving the number of guilds that could join an alliance from four down to two.
“We will be monitoring the ongoing impact of this change and feedback from the community as we understand there are a range of opinions on Alliance limits, and will consider additional modifications if necessary,” the devs said. “To support this change, existing Alliances will be disbanded to allow guild leaders to re-form alliances with the second guild of their choice.”
