If I recall correctly, you can currently take the long route or the cross 
country route.  I don't really have a strong opinion on this, but having some 
things off the beaten path would perhaps be nice.

Perhaps instead of a great highway, use the path type archetypes, and perhaps 
have the path not be continous (fades from view, no path through a mountain, etc).

  If I recall correctly, there are guilds in basically each of the cities.  IMO, 
the purchase place for the key should be in that same city - in other words, a 
guildhouse inc in each city that has guilds, selling the keys only for that guild.

  The pricing for guilds is odd.  What needs to be figured out what the goal of 
the guilds is.  Simply put, there is a limited number of guilds in the world. 
Making prices high basically just means it is left to those group of players who 
can amass large sums of money the fastest.

  I don't really have an answer for that problem.  I'm just making some 
observations.

  Maybe an idea would be to have some different level guilds - add a level 
checker object.  So maybe after level 25, your not allowed in guild XYZ, so you 
need to move on to a new guild.

  I haven't played much with guilds (being I typically run on my test server to 
find bugs and whatnot), so not sure of all the uses/advantages of them.

  Certainly doable.  I'm not positive how much it would get used, but that 
shouldn't stop you from doing it.  I just make that comment in that you can 
convert to gems for a 5% (overall) fee.

  However, if you do add new coins, either the material or weight would need to 
be appropriate.  It would be perfectly reasonable to have platinum bars with 
some amount of money, but if a platinum bar is worth 25 platinum, it should 
probably weigh 25 times as much, so may not be as useful

  You could certainly add things like 'mithril pieces', or we could convert gems 
to be more money (eg, that royal is made from platinum & diamond for example).

  I personally don't see a problem with any of the above.  Note that I'd have to 
double check the code - I think if you sell something, you would still only get 
silver, gold, platinum.

  Note also that if denomations were really an issue, the entire money spectrum 
could be shift, eg, add 'copper' at the bottom end, and thus silver, gold, and 
platinum get shifted up in value.
