Guild has quite a different meaning in BatMUD than in other games. Instead of simply binding characters together, they are the main source for skills and spells thus they define what kind of character you are playing. In other words guilds are like classes in many other games.

All characters will start with ten levels of skills from their background followed by five levels from their racial guild. After that players may choose to progress in one or more guilds that match their background.

There are also three other types of guilds in BatMUD:

  • Background 'guilds' - These don't actually give any room for training or study. Levelling up simply gives you set of skills and spells.
  • Racial guilds - Mandatory for everyone before you can join a real guild. Some of these offer serious skills and spells, others are more or less pointless ones. Luckily you don't have to train in them if you don't want.
  • Societies - Also known as secret societies or simply SS's. They are player managed guilds that may offer a channel, stat boosts and skill/spell max risings. Usually gaining access involves cash, hands, friends or all three.

Guilds by background

The following are tables that map open guilds to different backgrounds. Some guild appear in multiple backgrounds i.o. they have less restrictions. E.g. squires can be joined from both civ and nomad background.
