Terenas Friday, February 3

My assumption was that this is a feeling out process for both guilds.  If they both seem to be good alliance partners, then we have to introduce them to each other and that should open up possibilities for the 40 man dungeons which would be cool.

If only one of them seems to be a good fit, then we should have ZG enabled soon.  If neither does, then we have at least discovered that.

I HOPE that both guilds work well with us, and then work well together, and we can give some 40 man stuff a go with them.  But it's very early.

That was my impression as well. One of the things we explored with both guilds was what they wanted to do if we got numbers for 40. Both are interested in the 40 man instances, and so my hope is that both work out, and then to bring them together. Especially since Lost Souls is unlikely to open any doors to instances, due to their small size. If we bring 10, LS brings 5, and Synergy brings 15, we have 30, which should be enough for at least early work in MC. Diesirae is already FR geared, we'll need tranqs for the hunters from Luci, and more FR gear for tanks. 30 should be enough for that, and if the guild alliance (it would be one alliance of 3 guilds at this point) is in MC, it should make things easier for Synergy to recruit other players, or guilds. All 3 guilds have expressed a desire to play with mature players, so I don't see any major issues in uniting both guilds, if both are a match for us. However, in the evaluating period, we need to keep it to 2 guilds at a time, so each guild can accurately examine the other guild. We are certainly in that period, which is why I've suggested the one week with LS, one week with Synergy. It's probably best if both guilds know that we are working with another guild, so there aren't any surprises. Synergy already knows we have plans with another guild, and I think that Lost Souls should be told this Friday. They may have been reading these threads and already know by now. Either way, I think that both will be interested, provided that each guild can preserve what is most important to them. I think all have expressed wanting mature players, and to ensure that when they log, they can play with friends.
