NPC Guild

[William]

When attempting to purchase food from an NPC tavern keeper I was told I'd get a discount for being in the guild. Now firstly I don't remember ever joining an NPC guild and secondly I don't know how to get into a tavern-related NPC guild without food-related skills, which I had none. Right after this the game crashed; literally 10 minutes prior to this post.

NPCs do not have any skill requirements for you to join their guilds, only that you request to join and pay their membership fee (however, you can only be a member of one NPC guild at any given time). They certainly shouldn't be enrolling people into their guilds automatically. I will look into this.

I gather you mean that the client crashed? The server has been up and running since the automatic restart at 3:30 am.

Yes, my client crashed and I thought it was the server at the time because when trying to relog myself in I was stuck at the "connecting" gump.

I thought a minimum of 60 skill and 40(?) hours of gametime required to join an NPC guild; maybe that was just the thief guild.

Yes, only the thieves are picky. The rest just want your money. Since you apparently became a member without paying, the merchant guilds have asked me to look into this serious matter.

NPCs that do not have merchant guilds will no longer discount their goods to players who are not a member of a merchant guild.
