Do you disagree because class dependent max attiributes is a poor
technique to distinguish classes or because your proposal is a
better technique for distinguishing classes?

You mention this a number of times, each time in response to some
game characteristic that guilds would provide.  I encourage guilds
for two reasons:
	- forcing players to return to a specified location before
	  advancing their skills prevents players from obtaining
	  skills _during_ combat.

	- guilds provide a training location for learning non-combat
	  skills.  Ex: increased hp total, pricing gems/swords/wands,
	  curing poisons.
