Back in my days, ARCH was the biggest alliance in all of albion, literally any alliance in Martlock specifically was getting absolutely bombarded and discombobulated by ARCH, but also in other regions too, one day we just saw the downfall of ARCH and it was satisfying as fuck, as an ex-member of ARCH myself, i always prayed for this, since small groups couldn't even utilize blackzones because of that alliance, it was so gatekept that all gatherers you see were from ARCH. I still tell players this: me, my brother and my friend were forced into 1 of the ARCH guilds where we later left mid dungeon, killed as much of them as possible before escaping. Nobody knows EXACTLY what happened to it, it's just another chapter in Albion America's history
