I thought about this, but I want players to be able to, after they joined a guild, change guilds. So, a level 1 player enters the game, and fights himself up to level 5, at which he's able to join a guild. (My mud has 100 levels, plus 5 special levels) Then he joins the paladin guild, gets some of the skills/spells, and quits it at level 30. The player will now have some basic skills from the 1st 5 levels, plus some spells/skills from the paladin guild. Then the player decides he likes the spells more than skills, and joins the magic user guild. He will have now have the several basic skills, and skills from the paladin guild, up to level 30. After that, the player will receive the magic user skills from level 30 to level 70 for example. There is an endless amount of variations possible, so that's why it's better to save the skills and spells, instead of just the class numbers. >Start as a generic class, join a guild (if you meet the requirements) and >then the guild master changes your class to that. > >--Ziz -- +---------------------------------------------------------------+ | FAQ: http://qsilver.queensu.ca/~fletchra/Circle/list-faq.html | | Archives: http://post.queensu.ca/listserv/wwwarch/circle.html | | Newbie List: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/circle-newbies/ | +---------------------------------------------------------------+
