I cant believe people are complaining at getting "pfe" and "banish demons" to
25% when many other racial guilds get NOTHING. Which would you rather have,
pfe at 25% which can still work GREAT as a templar with 100 MoS and cast
skills, or 25% attack? HMM....POINTS TO BRAINLESS FUCK. My problem with
racial guilds is 1) a lot of em give some nice useful stuff, a lot dont give
anything and are complete wastes..this seems poorly tuned/thought out...and 2)
the links on the web site are not hyper linked to the race info section...this
gives a visitor to the website a really confusing idea of "open" guilds and
what the hell racial guilds are all about.

BTW, I maintain my hope for Acidia to get a permanent ban to ideaswanted.

Well, many of the races have various combat skills that get superceded by real
guilds...if you pick a "normal" guild:race combo...but for example, if a
newbie goes merchant, maybe it'd be good for them to get the little bit of
combat skills from a tankish race guild that they don't normally get from
merch guild...

yeah yeah merchant goes jerking off around arelium, everyone knows, even the
ones who made the racial guilds that they just SUCK ASS and whatevery you can
imagine to replace the word ass.
Ive been wondering since the racial guilds were implemented, what the fuck is
their reason to exist, now im come to the conclusion, there is none.
So just bury the damn guilds or make them worth something but dont keep them
just to get -5 free levels from people.
Its easier just not to give those levels, but everyone who has played this
game (not including ooga) knows that racial guilds suck seriously and they
have no place in realy gameplay.

This place is reserved for something more intelligent.

my point here being that racial guilds should be made worth something for
newbies, but not as a mandatory thing for the highbies
Maybe newbie could get a bonus to attack skill from racial guild or some
magical shit, depending on race, but on higher levels, taking 5 levels just
because you have this "racial guild with useless shit" its just so
frustrating!

If I remember right, backgrounds used to be 15 levels and were changed to 10
levels and those 5 levels were introduced in a form of racial guild. One of
the reasons back then was to add some more flavour and offer some skills or
spells that in rare occasions might even prove handy. Sure the bonuses that
racial guilds offer are nothing overpowering, but let's face the facts: those
are levels between 11 to 16. If you want to learn something better than 40%,
join a real guild. I must admit that I was a player at the time when the
racial guilds were introduced, but back then I thought it was nice that
several wizards took time to enhance races which may look quite dull at times.

I would like to see the racial guilds give something you can't get from the
main guilds. Or as previously mentioned stacked bonouses for current skills.
Individuals would be more apt to travel to the various racial guilds if they
could give different bonous they cant get anywhere else. Make so race specific
skills then make then trainable only at race guild. I think u have a true
winner there.

Before racial guilds we had 15 level background. Come on people race guilds
were an uptune.
