In the original game design, players could join '''NPC Guilds''' as members of a specific trade organization, such as miners or tailors, or just for [[roleplaying]] purposes.

The system was never fully implemented but was to include discounts on goods sold by NPC vendors within a guild to the members. Guild insignia-specific house signs were created for buildings as well as player homes to signifiy NPC guild membership. Guild halls to foster a sense of community within each guild were created in various towns as gathering spots and were often the location of the NPC guild's leader, the guildmaster.

Only the [[Thieves Guild]] was ever actually fully fleshed for characters to join, enabling them to steal from other players as well as to purchase and use a [[disguise kit]]. Joining the guild includes a set of requirements regarding character age and [[Stealing]] skill level. Unlike other NPC Guildmasters, the [[Thief Guild Master]] roams all over, never found in the same location.

Some of the NPC guild halls are quite massive and grandiose. They often serve as settings for [[quests]] with intriguing characters.
