The "new" guildsystem sucks. The "old" one with lots of small guilds was way
cooler. I know it was a pain tunewise, and yes, the new guilds are much nicer
than the old ones. Still, all the cool features of the new guilds could exist
in the old system too.

Background restrictions are stupid and fabricated - or at least there should
be a variety of backgrounds, and most guilds should be open to several
backgrounds. Better yet, make guilds have racial restrictions, like the old
rangers did have. Some guild-combo restrictions like nun-evilpriest or
druid-barbarian should also exist. Or you could just allow all backgrounds all
guilds but give a handicap of 5-10 levels or so for choosing a different
background guild. So a civilized fullbard could only be a level 25 loc etc.

You could also categorize skills and spells by types and make different spell-
and skillmaxes for different types according to race and primary guild (or the
new background system).
