Your idea is good in theory, but i dont know if it would work in practice. I
think more has to be built then a couple of guilds. I think a guild should be
for one specific type of Castle (Forestmen, Knights Kingdom, etc). In it would
be storys, mocs, etc having to with JUST THAT GUILD. This would only work,
though, in a larger pre-fabricated world you could go around in making storys.
In that realm you could make armys, have battles, go on quests for gold,
wahtever.
That is the only way i could see a Guild thing working, to tell you the truth.
What you have proposed, as i said works good in theory, but it really needs a
more general community to work in.
