The code actually makes sense to me, incredible as it may seem (except that I don't know how promise works), but I'm having trouble running it. I copied the files to my Habitica root folder (above the habitrpg folder) and ran the npm install habitica@4.0.0-beta.1 uuid command and it worked fine, created a node_modules folder and everything. But when I do node guilds.js nothing happens, did I have to do something else? Oh and I did change the GUILD_ID value, and http://localhost:3000 is the right url.
Just to make sure I understood the code, it would still work if I changed var name = uuid() to var name = 'Test' + count right?

I've adjusted the script a little to catch and log any errors you might be receiving. Update it with the new file and see if it tells you anything.

In theory you can change the name section to var name = 'Test' + count, but since usernames and emails need to be unique, it'll fail to register a user if you run it a second time.The uuid function assures that it will be a random string of numbers and characters, so it won't fail to register the new users.
