What's the point?

Alliances are classic. On Cazic Thule, the top guilds of the Classic–PoP era were The Relentless (allied with Element of Darkness) and Shadowed Soul (allied with Divine Alliance). I never fully understood why they didn't just merge. But I liked the idea that perhaps they had some fundamental differences in the ways they carried themselves, yet the leaders were friends and so they always raided together.

At least I guess that's why it was the way it was.
