I like the idea of everyone being able to communicate by being in the combined alliance guild, but I had been looking at it the other way around. Where the smaller guild units are the primary and GWOA is secondary more for chat and coordination of groups.
Partially this is because of guild identity and partially because of different rulesets within each guild's chat. I know I'll be spending time in GWOA, but that might end up being more when I'm logged in and not doing much rather than when I'm out-n-about being all mesmery. :)
Maybe it is just me holding onto an "old" way of doing things, but I really don't see the downside if ANet had put in an actual Alliance function with an alliance chat channel. Has there been any detail on why that was not done (other than the, "guilds can be bigger now!" statement)?

The idea of a super guild was tossed around, but most people aren't in favor of representing it all of the time, for a variety of reasons. I believe we're still going to have one, but it's a secondary thing.

I made up my mind, I'm going to give the US servers a shot at launch. Therefore...
