A new guild isn't terrible for new players that are interested in progression. You are with like minded players that are at the same level as you. That way the focus can be on planar gear vs killing gods for other players with 6 months of dkp.

Also, all you need are numbers to do the tough stuff and 3-4 core members that are really geared. If they have high play times they will get geared up in a new guild in no time.

Why leave existing guilds to set this up?

Centralize Voice chat into one guild's mumble/TS or just use P99 public mumble and forge an alliance between leadership of all of these guilds.

There doesn't really seem to be any serious bad blood between Ni, Flowers, Bronson, Neriak Strip Club, etc. that we couldn't easily set aside for a few Sky/Hate/Fear crawls.

Getting these people to drop their tag might be a lesson in futility as no one wants to join another stupid one-noun-guildname consolidation bucket. Those guilds often end up with less of a real identity since they come from an amalgamation of several identities to begin with.

Most raiding guilds I've been in don't DKP planar drops anyways. With the numbers we'd have it'll probably be a random between 2-3 people on most items, though a simple google spreadsheet is all it would take to handle DKP if it was needed.

So then, why not an alliance? Have everyone free to PvP on the off-time but bury the hatchet at scheduled raid-time to get some people geared?
