Obviously, I can only speak for my guild and maybe assume Contents POV as well. Many people in both of our guilds did not want a massive alliance as it seemed fairly unnecessary with the game being so dead, and neither of our guilds wanting to really pursue TC seriously. People were also tired of having very little PvP due to having such a big alliance (this was a big reason). Whatever happened on the two days of the initial split just resulted in it happening at that time, as it seemed convenient. I don't hold any ill will against any of the guilds that were in the alliance as I liked all the leaders and most of the members in all of them. There are obviously always some retards in every group. We tried to end it with as little salt as possible and for the most part, it was successful.
