First off let me say, nice post.

However, removing alliances entirely, will not remove them from the game. They would still be there, just not in the current format that you see them. To be honest though, it might be refreshing change. After all, this is how the game originally started. Having not played myself for a long time I was suprised to see that Alliances have taken to the in game system, as it was rarely, if ever used by the top alliances. But then surely that must show that it has come a long way?

I like the idea of bringing back private galaxies though.

In a game with the current player base, I am all for smaller alliances. An 80 member limit is obviously advantageous and I can see why people wouldn't want to get rid of it.

Although this being my first (part) round since R13 or whenever it was, I am somewhat out of the loop so my comments may be irrelevant.
