I found it hard to interact with the npcs/other guildmate (also technically npcs in this case), how important are the guild npcs to this story? In momon's case, they were the closest things to other players he had (and were higher level than any other npcs of tge new world) hence the focus on them. In this case, we have actual players.

Also, if they are imprtant, could we have a very brief description of their immediate appearance?
