I am here to report the disbandment of the recently DoE'd alliance Kingsglaive. Please carry on.

Moving to gameplay discussions, Alliance Announcements is for in character inter alliance discourse. That said, I have mixed feelings when it comes to creating new servers. I think a major downside it presents is that it fractures the player base. If our operating theory is that many people would be off put by a full reset (due to years of invested time), creating a new server that siphons off younger active players would only seem to accelerate problems as it further weakens the replacement rate on the original server, while the new server remains under adopted.

Adjustment to Our Policy on Spam

In some cases yes an image, even a reaction gif could be a meaningful stand alone contribution to a discussion. However there are at least as many other cases where it would be contentless and fall into spam territory.

Adjustment to Our Policy on Spam
