So, although I'm sure everyone has heard it by now, as has been
endlessly discussed on the forums, we're going to be taking class
control away from guilds and allowing people to select their class
independent of being in a guild. We'll be creating a system of Houses
that will be sort of like guilds, but with no class restriction (and
different advantages for being in them).

The changes to enable this divorcing of class and guild have been
happening for the last 5 or 6 days, and we plan to be finished within a
week with opening up classes.

Houses, on the other hand, will not be finished for a bit, though we'll
be starting on them as soon as this change if finished.

Finally: Don't Panic.
