       I think this really depends on what you want the guilds to be doing.

      IMO, guilds could still provide the following even for single players:

     I didn't understood what you put under the term "guild". I was speaking about 
groups of players Uniting Their Forces to Fight the Bad. You were speaking 
about guilds implemented "inside" the game (with buildings and specific rules 
maybe). Sorry for that confusion. And I agree with what you say about "ingame 
guilds".

      I think the big thing missing in the reward outside the quest.  Now
     
     I had no time to work on script stuff last month. I'll implement functions to 
give you experience in a particular skill now. Maybe it could help for quest 
rewards ?

     I don't like the idea of "classes". It is a concept from AD&D and I think it 
is too rigid. The problem is that it is now too easy for a Warrior to find 
Wizard Knowledge. For example, it would be better if spells could only be 
found in Wizards Guilds or in the depths of a Dungeon. If a warrior wants to 
learn wizardry, he'll have to prove his valor first. Only very simple spells 
should be in common shops. After all, as Merlin said: "Magic is not like 
eating an apple: it is a little more difficult".
