But actually not as a joke. It's been five years since full mage subguilds were removed and Elkrosians and Drovians were [REDACTED] and had their spells sold to the highest bidder or put into a lockbox somewhere. They were both kinda busted and mages always had their issues, but that was also kind of why they were interesting and fun. In moderated doses. Subguilds are cool too, but there's probably room for both. Or maybe there isn't. We cannot empircally know unless we do a trial, and it feels like it's probably been long enough to give it a go. What's the worst that could happen here?
Also it's been, oh god, over 15 years since Gin and Quick terrorized the playerbase causing psionicists to get some extreme adjusting still and over a decade since the Dragonthrall saga and the spate of fully-empowered psionicists, sorcerors, nilazi et al turned the game into World War Hogwarts for a while which ensued in those guilds (and other stuff) got adjusted into the substrata. We should see if players are still unable to handle the full power both braingod and nilazime on their side or if there is room for the Original Flavor mindworms now.
How has the magick/unknown/power level been lately? Is there too much crazy shit, not enough? Would it be kind of cool to make the old full guilds open for a week or two for shits and giggles?
Maybe this isn't the right year, but maybe another 5 years from now. Or next plaguetimes. Whichever comes first.
