     Is someone actively working on the new Python-based guilds? The base

     Yes, however a bug in the python plugin with the trigger hook (crashes 
the server) is holding things up.  Work on the python guilds is awaiting 
a fix for this.  The trigger was to be used for enabling special guild 
features (like the pet kennels) as guild points reached certain levels 
as well as granting access to the different Rank Halls (the unlinked 
maps you mentioned are 'lounges' for guildmembers of each ranking) and 
as another way to assign guild 'quest' points via a trigger on a map 
(the other way to give guiild quest points is to use the 'say' hook).

However, in the meantime there is no reason that more maps cannot be 
developed which contain more special items which give access to guild 
features (I believe that the prices for things like the cauldrons are 
not all set yet) as well as any quests that give out guild points.

     The citydeclouds was committed and some work has been done on the other 
maps as well.  I am/was working on the outlaying lands (valleyofrock 
etc...) and trying to decide how best to split the maps into smaller 
chunks.  Anyone is welcome to help so long as they try to follow the 
basic map making guidelines.  It's better to do small pieces which can 
be easily tested and committed.  Special attention should be given to 
the shops and very large maps with lots of items on them.  The 
apartments are something that I would like to look over more closely 
however.


Also I'm out of town for a few weeks so things are even slower than 
usual for me...
