The Guild: A Web Show about MMORPGs and Gaming

If you are addicted to MMO's and have a sense of humour, then you will love The Guild! The Guild is a show you can only see on the internet. It's about a group of online gamers from the same city who are all in the same guild in an MMO. It stars and is written by Felicia Day, a gamer and actress best known for her roles in Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Dr. Horrible's Sing-along blog. The show comes from humble beginnings. They had to ask for donations from fans to finish the first season. Thankfully the show persevered and now enjoys a huge following. The Guild has now wrapped up two seasons which can be seen at watchtheguild.com. Please also be aware, there are a few spoilers in this article for seasons one and two.

Season one of The Guild had a cast that wasn't used to working together, they had no budget and had a of ton volunteer help. It also

turned out absolutely perfect! It has a funnier script then most big budget sitcoms. Even though some of the acting and production is a little rough around the edges in season one, it only adds to the charm of the show. Season one is the story of Zaboo, a Gnome Warlock and his stalker-like love for Codex (played by Day) who are both a part of the guild “Knights of Good”. Codex, “real name Cyd, it's not short for anyting”, convinces the rest of the guild into meeting up in hopes of talking some sense into Zaboo. Hilarity ensues.

Since The Guild is completely streamed online, the episodes are pretty short. You can watch the whole season in under an hour. For any MMORPG gamer this may be one of the best hours of their nerdy little life. Season one is also available on DVD through Amazon.com.
