Hey there..
Was wondering about the champ's guild (and its stores). Will it be available at launch? I'm suggesting you push its availability to later on in the game.
My point is, it wasn't available at RSC official launch, and it only was implemented once the economy was booming. It gave time to level mining, smithing, fishing, etc. which is a long and harder road than just questing for 2 days. If Champs guild and its store become available, people will be in rune plates, rune legs, and rune longs on day 2, which kinda defies the goal to let the eco build itself naturally, and slow down the high exp rates... by not having powerful weapons and armors so early in the game.
Let people fight with addy and mith for a lil while.
