Will there be NPC-run organizations or guilds that players can join, as opposed to the player-run guilds?asked by Mercy

Yes, absolutely. If you remember Privateer, there was a Merchants Guild and a Mercenaries Guild, and they're going to offer various benefits. Players will be able to run it, for sure.

Don't forget Bounty Hunters.

Bounty Hunters. You'll see me there, too.
