That's pretty standard for MMOs, and so is in-game voice chat these days - though the latter almost always sucks more than a hoover. The guild systems in most games (clans/armies/guilds/etc.) normally come with anywhere from three to five default ranks, and then you can alter as needed. Whether that be renaming them, adding/removing permissions, inserting extra ranks, removing ones not needed, what ever may strike the guild leader's fancy. The IRC will help greatly with allowing the three seperate guilds to communicate and compare notes and make better entries to the Online articles. Some kind of voice chat for the PC/Mac players might be worth looking into if they're going to do any instancing together, consoles have their own voice chat built into the hardware that's better than whatever they'll offer in-game. Something like Ventrilo, Team Speak or Mumble are all great options for the desktop players. Those, however, are discussions for another thread and another day, we need to focus on the basics first.
