The talks with Lost Souls are very early, and very limited in their scope. I spent some time whispering to one of their officers while he was doing a Maraudon Run, and I was in AV, so that limited our talk some, but I can say this:

They tried a guild "merge" before, and it was an ugly thing. They do not want a merge. I assured them they would not be "absorbed" into the Lurker guild. What I told them, was we were looking for people like us...good solid players who had a good guild thing going, but weren't able to see some of the higher end content. They expressed they had had similar thoughts, but wanted to be careful about how they proceeded with an alliance, if they did. Sounds like my attitude, so I have no problem with that. The officer I spoke to is familiar with Agh, having spent alot of time in WSG with Agh in recent weeks, and liked how Agh played, so that should be in our benefit. To this point, I don't know if they use Vent or not. I have used Vent recently. It's a little more complicated than Teamspeak, but certainly not difficult to use. It's a free download. It appears to work much like Teamspeak, ie someone will have to host it, and then share password/server information. It appears to be effective. Again, my talks with them have been in the early stages. I know they wanted to talk it over with themselves, and see what the consensus is of their guild, but it appears they share similar hopes for continuing content.

As for my personal stance on this....traditionally I have never wanted to get too involved in the big BWL and MC 40 man raids. I derive the most enjoyment when I feel I'm a needed and neccessary member of the group. I enjoy my role as backup healer/combat rez duty. Fazuul rapidly became my toon of choice over my hunter Gorkuk, mostly due to the fact that I feel more useful to the group as a druid than I did as a hunter. However...my enjoyment of the druid has opened up new things. I now want to take him to places I hadn't worried to much about before. I still doubt I'll ever see places like BWL, but I would like to farm ZG some (if you can use the word 'farm' to describe trips to ZG) and get some nice purples. Should the opportunity present itself to see places like MC and BWL, I would like the chance to go, just to see it. I am looking forward to FINALLY getting Fazuul his epic Frostwolf mount. He's just a tiny bit past halfway between Revered and the needed Exalted status, so he's getting closer. However...the time and work I've been putting into Fazuul, first to level him up to 60, and secondly to work him up to Exalted status with the Frostwolf clan has made me want to continue with Fazuul for some time. I don't like the thought of getting him his mount, and then having to retire him shortly thereafter to roll an alt to have something to do. I'm very interested in the 10-20 man raid content the game has to offer. I have hopes something will work out with another guild who may be interested in the same things, and like us, lack the numbers of regular, solid 60's to make it happen. I also am very interested in the Sinister Rogue Sisters (Ooh and Aah), and our planned group PvP work in WSG for the 20-29 range. But I too would like to see a guild alliance work out for the mutual benefit of both groups.
