In the similiar vien, i think the race guilds were a superb addition,
though i wish a bit more useful thought went into the skills so some
interesting combinations could be made.
I'm sure many a raceguild coder accepts original ideas for skills/spells for
specific races as long as they're reasonable. Brainstorming something original
for 30+ guilds and then implementing it is cumbersome, and if we did that from
the beginning the raceguilds wouldn't probably made it into the game yet.
