1. Aelana is cool, but it is not a rogues guild in the way that many of the
players here are familiar with.

2. In order to have a rogues guild there would have to be some serious
changes. First, you would need to streamline the "trap" code and make all
areas consistent so a rogues finding/disarming traps would actually be useful.
Second you would have to implement "sneaking" in combat, which is something I
have NO idea how to do here in batmud. Third you have to have an appropriate
"flavor" things that rogues could do, such as intimidate NPCs, extortion,
pickpocketing coins from PCs, bag/floating disc trick (love that spell), and
other things that might make them useful and interesting as a real choice
here. Right now batmud is way way too "run and kill everything with a sword"
orientied. There is no real areas where you can use stealth to accomplish
your goals, which is too bad for those of us who love to play assassin/thief
type roles.

My 2 cents
