Creating Alliances and Choosing a Side in Factions

Hi,

A couple of quick questions about Factions and creating alliances and choosing a side Luxon or Kurzick.

BTW. I am the leader of my guild.

1) How can I choose a side?
2) Does the guild have to have a guild hall to choose sides or make alliances.
3) How do I make an alliance?

thanks.

1) more like, how do you chose the FIRST side.. because inevitibly you, your guild and your whole alliance will never be permenatly loyal to one side.

2) Dont think so, you can get to the out posts being battle over through pve traveling (ie, Fort Aspen), the alliance battles can also be got to from the Main City.., so I think its safe to assume you dont HAVE to have a hall.

3) we dont know until the game is released, however there is a new 'alliances' tab when you press 'G'.. presumably inviting a guild into your alliance would be the same as inviting a member into your guild. It may cost money.

A More difficult and pertinant question will be:

4) How do I go about recruiting other guilds to join my alliance?

Its gona be pretty tough.. I can see every guild leader out there wanting to be leader of their own alliance.

oh, and another question...

5) will the leader, of the Guild who is leading the alliance be able to kick other guilds out?

If so, what is to stop under-hand guilds recruiting small guilds, getting them to pay their faction points to the alliance.. and then get kicked out!

Oh, man, that would be wrong.

Hopefully, Anet has thought of this!?
