 * Guild members are able to send short messages to one another. Does not work within a dungeon.
 * Guilds have customizable emblems which appear on the guild members' top left interface, next to the player's HP bar, as well as next to the player's HP bar from another player's point of view.
 * When guild members are in the same party, the players receive a slight increase in their stats.
