Surf Parade 1st 15 :
So what's the difference between having many guilds under the same name and having academies though? I might be opening a can of worms, but just curious?
They are viewed the same by the BMRS, only the people in the guild proper count for the guild numbers. Now if you and your academy both make the list then both will be listed.
For game purposes an academy is usually with the goal of promoting to the guild proper, whereas the WWP seems to be an alliance not an academy system. In other words they view each other as peers and not teacher student. I'm guessing WWP have agreed to not challenge each other but I could be mistaken, haven't looked at their schedules to know for fact.
