I was initially going to reply that the formation of a guild/ss is within the lord's bailiwick. The ability for anyone else to do that undermines the lord's authority and powers.
However, I think I actually agree that advies need some form of communication ability. My trials of the advy class have always been severely affected by the lack of communication. Even the ability to send a message to "all nearby advies" isn't really adequate. It's great for finding more people around you , but not good for maintaining a long association, especially among a group. And in a guild, advies need to pay money for each letter they send.
Maybe some kind of enhanced communication for advies would be a good idea. I'm just not sure how it should work. Some kind of limited advies-only group with very limited options/flexibility?
