How about guilds being able to designate each other as "sister guilds". Guildies would be able to see the status of members of those sister guilds. This way, guilds that have a lot of co-operation would be able to hang out more without merging (and losing their identity).
Thoughts?
I really like this idea especially considering the guilds have a size limit.
And all the guilds will merge into one mega alliance.... followed by civil war, succession from the alliance, name calling, some more fighting, and eventual collapse as one of the players infiltrates the mega alliance, climbs its ranks, and dismantles in the middle of the night while selling all its assets for profit. The collapse will be studied by economist to make computer models of real economies, which is later proven wrong by the government dumping billions to keep the mega alliance afloat, while the guild leaders collect that money and buy trips to the Bahamas.
maybe not that much, @Starlinf, but it'd be interesting to see a large-scale battle with multiple guilds in lockdown.
With the new siege map in Lockdown, they could expand on the idea by creating a new clockwork map composed of Guild outposts, and have the links between different outposts rotated every 15-20 minutes. Depending on how the links line up, will determine the next match up.
A nice feature would be to add deployable item pads for both sides, as well as special offensive/defensive items like Cloak jammers, Portable Gun puppies, block barricades, shield generators, artillery, and perhaps 2 new classes of Mecha Knights to add hazards to the match.
Haha, let's not get out of scope, guys.
I just want to hang out with KoE easily without giving up EoH. I don't think there will be that many megaguilds.
Bad no bad bad thinking no bad bad Spiral Knight
We need Mega Alliance Guilds!
@Stalrinvf
Long live chaos and disorder!
I'd love to send someone from my guild to go and destroy an enemy guild through a series of months.
"Why not just increase the guild size?"

Alliances!
