The beginning, I sort of understood but then it started going over my head.

I do like the idea of having some sort of "Guild" established within the game but I don't think we need to over-complicate things with too much battle stuff in the beginning. We could always have some event where different factions and classes are randomly put together for some scavenger hunt/battle maze sort of situation which asks for fighting as well as wit and cunning, in terms of any riddles? Some sort of reward is issue to the two who finish it within a set time? Or something?

I dunno.
