Escalante of Archetheon, a new guild on the forum, has created a thread in the politics section of the guild discussion forum proposing smaller guilds to join with his in a guild merger. The reasoning Escalante gives is that to be able to compete with the more established guilds on the forum, (AI, FRC, Variance, KR, etc) a merge should happen as there are to many guilds currently competing for members with no hope to get the players needed to be a major force.

Many of the respondents within the thread are not overly enthusiastic about the idea, while Escalante is doing his best to defend his position. Respondents have a wide range of opinions on Escalante’s plans and the propsal. Everything so far from calling the merge proposal the creation of a zerg, accusing Archetheon of simply trying to propose this in order to obtain more members for his own guild, and just saying that merges don’t tend to ever work very well.

Escalante has replied in kind to most of the critics giving his explanation and counter-points to the arguments.
