Late it has been hard to find merchant to do stuff that that is required, ie
bardings etc for mounts and fws. Could small merc guilds be added to
good_relig,magical and nomads. Those would be stripped of the TRUE power.
Mmaybe each could perform certain duties, but not with 100% skills, but
sufficient enough to be better than normal mage fws. Nomads should be able to
lumberjack,mine and do blacksmithing. Good_religs could perhaps change
surnames and do legal stuff? Magical guild would get fw mastery to 60% or
something. This would greatly increase the player vs player interaction, since
we could perform services to each other. I would gladly go mining chopping
woods with my nomad while twiddling and waiting for parties. I dont wanna do
merc reincs, since that severely takes up other guilds that you can choose.

This is a small flame, but fws are a bitch to get!
