Asherons Call: Allegiances Unaffected by Purge

Those of you who have logged into Asheron's Call after the worlds were brought up have already noticed that your allegiances were unaffected by the purge. This doesn't mean the purge didn't work, Microsoft and Turbine did the purge in such a way so that existing allegiances would not lose members or otherwise be changed. Ken Karl had the following to say about it:

The accounts were purged...but we were able to do it in a way that would not effect active player's allegiance. We thought one or two people might actually like that ;-)
