The other night while leveling in the crawlers nest, our pt decides to pick up a Bard, a great idea except that there is already 6 in our pt... Our monk says he'll leave so that we can have the Bard with our mages. Next thing I notice our monk has a couple Redmage buddies with him, and then a full alliance. I was suprised that our exp wasn't too bad, and the downtime wasn't bad either. The only bad thing for our alliance is when 20 crazed crawlers come through and wipe everybody out, and I can't escape alliance's.
The largest alliance I've been in was 18 peeps, we were going to get rank 4, so we all teamed up. This was actually pretty good, except everybody wanted to stop and kill everything cause that large of an alliance is pretty sweet. Plus the NM drops 6 key's everytime so we didn't have to wait to long to get key's =) Also everyone talks about what is a good 6 man pt, I wonder what would be a good 18 people alliance....
