I in no way want to join all three companies, I muchly prefer to be loyal to one and have a sense of "home" in the game.

However, I'm really really praying that you can do the content be they leves or quests with people from other countries. I remember the days of trying to track down a full party of Windurst citizens for some inane high level quest in XI. However they work it, I just hope that every body present to help kill things doesn't have to be of the same alliance.

I admit ... a lot of this hope is because I'm the lone Gridania in a group of stinky Uldah lovers and I don't want to be forced to join the company I don't want just so I'm able to take part in content/not left trying to find a PUG.
