Guilds

The current guild system that most MMOs have is one guild per player. A Tale In The Desert allowed a character to join multiple guilds, and it allowed guilds that were dedicated to a specific purpose to pop up. Some were chat only, some were for teaching, some were dedicated to a specific goal, etc. I like the idea and I think it should be more widespread.

A guild should be more than just a random collection of people each with their own ideas of what the guild should be doing. Instead, have many guilds each with a specific cause and let players join the guilds they are most aligned with.
