  For normal objects (swords, keys, etc) I would say they should all be lower case.

  Normal English would dictate that things like Arena Guard, ticket vendor, etc, 
should all be lower case, since as noted, they are not proper nouns.

  OTOH, if other conversations refer to these NPCs, it would be nice to give 
them a proper if a particular one has to be talked to, eg, 'talk to arena guard 
John'.  Otherwise, if there are 5 'arena guards', but only the 'Arena Guard' 
holds a conversation, that just gets confusing.
