What happened to this announced feature?

I actually like this idea.

Course you could only alliance with FC's that are in the same GC alliance.

Would also serve as an excuse to finish the GC content, in this time of war.

Free company alliance ces were tied to a plan that revolved around actual free company content and was aimed at building free companies up into end game groups..

But without any content designed for free companies the concept of alliances becomes useless. As in the current state of the game an fc is basically nothing more than a chat channel..

They had lots of cool ideas even letting free companies summon primal as a kind of special limit break but yeah the whole thing got scrapped and the focus shifted to ultra solo friendly instead.

Indeed, the only FC based adventuring content, diadem, has been scrapped and repurposed.

Don't mean it won't show up again, I'm hopeful. ... and hope is a horrible pain.
