The Guild
“The Guild” is my baby, I’ll say it shamelessly. Sometimes I still can’t believe that I created the idea for this web show, wrote down the words, wonderful people gathered together to make it, and now strangers quote the lines back at me. It sometimes hits me as surreal. Certainly no one could have predicted that a life-long addiction to role-playing games could provide the material to sustain a show that has, to this date, garnered over 12 million hits on the internet. The mantra “write what you know” is truer than anyone gives it credit for, so if you are looking to create a web show of your own, please don’t make it about a bunch of funny and attractive white people who trade quips in an urban coffee shop. You know you have a more original story to tell. (Watch someone make a web show about just that and get 13 million hits just to spite me. Whatever.)
The thing that makes me most grateful is that so many incredibly talented people have contributed their skills and vision to make it something I never could have imagined in the beginning: My producer Kim Evey had the idea to make “The Guild” a web show, not a TV pilot; all the actors worked for free over a year, no complaints; Donors gave money through Paypal to continue season 1 because we couldn’t afford to fund shooting ourselves; A fan named Andrew Gleason donated an apartment complex to make season 2 happen because we lost Codex’s location; I drafted an artist (Matthew Brackney) who randomly made a piece of fan art of the characters, to reanimate the opening credits for season 2; Dani Figueiredo from Brazil made Portuguese and English subtitles and helped open our videos to the world….the list could be a mile longer. That’s why I love film making, it’s a truly collaborative art form. Well, web video is even MORE collaborative, which I couldn’t be happier about.
Also, the deal I made with Xbox / Microsoft to fund and distribute Season 2 of “The Guild” is also something that I’m very proud of. We held out over a year, turning down dozens of offers for the show, because I was adamant that I keep the rights to the show (definitely not the norm in Hollywood). After my experience with “Dr. Horrible” and seeing Joss stay independent and outside the system and then make it a web phenomenon, I was even more determined to stick to my guns. I got nervous a few times when I turned down a deal, I admit, and we actually started shooting Season 2 out of our pockets on the proceeds from the Season 1 DVD, but Xbox came in at exactly the right moment, with exactly the right vision and support to make the rest of Season 2 a reality. Not many corporations think outside the box like that, especially of that size. I’d say it was fate, but I’m not superstitious like that. Well, maybe a little.

I absolutely love The Guild. It’s so very entertaining, and an excellent timekill over my lunch break! Keep it up! <3
I absolutely love The Guild…damn, only two comments and already there is repetition…I stumbled across it while searching for the “girl in the cougar cellphone commercial”…one of the best things I have found while doing random web searches. And, of course, that led
to Dr. Horrible (NPH was great on SNL, when are you going to host?) and this website.
Great work, keep it up.
This series is wonderfully done, the awkwardness and isolation the characters portray is very well done. Felicia, brilliant work as Cyd and as Penny in Dr. Horrible.
Thoroughly glad I found this series. Keep up the great work.
I love very much The Guild…It’s…It’s…It’s almost better than drop PURPLE……
/cheer at the staff and /love /flirt at Felicia…Zaboooooooooooo /fart…Ahahahahah… <3 ALL
Hey Felicia
Really enjoying Season 2 of The Guild!
You and all the talented folk you work with are heroes in my part of the World (York, England). We’ve been really inspired by The Guild and Dr. Horrible, not to mention other online shows like Clark & Michael and Homestar Runner (seen those?), to create our own web series Zomblogalypse.
It’s fascinating building an audience and developing the website and concept, and we’re certainly taking cues from you about how to tirelessly promote the series! I reckon the future’s never looked brighter for low-budget, fiercely independent filmmakers. Keep up the good work.
Lots of love xxx
Great job capturing the whole uber-gamer lifestyle and the stuggle to break free of it!
Lovin’ The Guild. It captures gaming personas so perfectly it’s hilarious. You’re awesome on the violin. I’ve been playing since I was 4, but I’m nowhere near your level lol. It’s cool you’re from Huntsville, AL. I’m from a small town in southern AL called Brewton. Anyway, keep up the good work on The Guild. Can’t wait for the next episodes.
‘The Guild’ is addictive!! I hope there’ll be another season soon (:
Is there a way to have Guild eps and news updates streamed directly into my brain?
I’ve been forced to fully embrace my dorkdom thanks to your show. Claiming it as my absolute favorite show and relating on some level to each character kinda booted me from the gamer geek closet. It really is fantastic!
The Guild is the best web series out there right now. Not that there aren’t many great ones including legend of Neil but you’ve just made this perfect.
Any idea when I will be able to download it on xbox again? Apparently you can’t in Canada anymore so I have to watch it on msn video.
Either way please keep up the good work and I cannot wait to see where the rest of the season goes!
The Guild is really awesome! I really enjoy watching it, is really fun to see the esasperated characteristics of this small ipothetic group of nerds
I really hope that this project would go forward for many seasons!
-hope that i didn’t make too many grammatical errors…-
Hey Miss Day,
Saw you on Captin Horrible and recognised you from numerous places.
Just started watching “The Guild” as I wasn’t expecting much from a web program, but its blown me away.
You have a fantastic sense of humour, and dry wit. I thought only people over here in the UK used Sarcasm as the highest form of wit!!
I have no watched all the episodes and will continue to follow your efforts. Thanks again for taking the time to produce it.
May I also be as rude to ask what your real hair colour is? It your hair really is that red I’m amazed, its so vibrant!! You wouldn’t think I was a straight male would you!!
With Regards
Jd
Hey
A friend of mine just got me into The Guild and its brilliant! I watched the whole of season one in a day
. I’m now caught up with season 2 and its just getting better 
.
I just wanted to say, you rock. Love watchin The Guild. Makes me geek out. Are you a gamer for real though? cause nothing better than female gamers, w00t.
The Guild is the most scary webshow ever. Too much of it seems true (and self-experienced). Love it, recommending it to friends and guildies ;o))
Thank you for making life more fun!
zug-zug, back to work. stop poking me.
LOVE The Guild. I can so connect with the bunch of geeks…uh..nerds…uhh…wildly intelligent and unique individuals..yes THAT’S it…is so very cool. And like Joss Whedon, Felicia, you have an incredible way of delivering humor that is sassy and intelligent. I can’t wait for Season 3!!!
i love the guild my whole house gathers every thursday to watch it. Keep up the good work we really appreciate your hard work.
Funny and cute show you’ve created
I’ve played WoW a bit and I’m a big fan of Joss Whedon, so this is right up my alley. P.S. I really admire you and your whole creative team for maintaining creative independence.
P.P.S. Your facial expressions are adorable, Felicia.
Not sure if this has already been asked…but I was wondering if there may be any gay characters in the future?
One of my friends showed mr the first episode of the guild and i became instantly hooked i immediately got on my xbox and downloaded all of the episodes and watched them. im not a big fan of MMORPG’s but the story behind the guild is amazing. im a huge gamer tho i mostly play shooters but i find it very entertaining to see the surrealness of the series. im glad u decided to keep the film independent 2 alot of times the Hollywood scene seems to ruin some movies and tv programs. after seeing the ending of season 2 it just makes me anticipate season 3 so much. very good work its nice to see the awesome creativity and brilliant minds working on an independent web show. thank you so much for your tremendous contribution to the gaming world.
p.s i know someone already asked but are u a gamer yourself. if so that would be awesome. i always respect female gamers
\m/(-_-)\m/ ROCK ON!!!!!
I love the guild. My friends and I are all gamers and improvisers and I am making everyone watch it.
Hey Felicia!
Just lettin ya know that you’ve got another fan! I happened to stumble on your show as I was looking around XBL and long story short, I finished both seasons at 5 in tha mo’nin!
Can’t wait for season 3!
-Paul
PS: 15 secs is my personal best =p
Just discovered your show the other day and love it! As a WoW geek I totally get guild drama so seeing a show about is hilarious!
Hey,
Just found The Guild, really awesome stuff. Great writing, acting, etc. Just wondering how you got started with everything? I want to end up in the television business, but I really feel like web shows like this are the future. Just wanted to let you know you did an awesome job.
Felicia, I just saw you in a Sears commercial! WOOO APPLIANCES!!!
Love The Guild…my wife doesn’t get it, my friend immediately recognized you from Dr Horrible, and I personally cannot wait to see more of The Knights of Good next season!
I absoutely “LOVE” this series!!!
I wish the episodes were longer and I want “MORE MORE MORE”!!!
My kids are gamers and I sorta am too.
This series is very multidementional and there is something for everyone in it.
I really hope you don’t quit making this series.
I am going to buy season one.
I am looking forward to buying season two and soem T-shirts!!!
PLEASE keep the episodes coming.
WE ALL LOVE THEM SO MUCH!!!
Best Wishes,
Trudi, Bob and the Kids
I absolutely love The Guild. I found it after watching Doctor Horrible, and I watched the entire first season in one day. It is fabulous, and very dramatic. There are parts of it that literally have me on the edge of my seat. It is an ultimate show for gamers, or anyone who enjoys action, humor, and slightly… ::cough:: psychotic ::cough:: romance, and I can’t wait to see more. Kudos!
BIG GRATZ on all the nominations for
The Guild. Too kool – great show and
so well deserved for all of you in the
cast and crew.
I have watched The Guild thanks to my friend and I like The Guild cause it is really funny… So can you tell me do you play any games??
=)
your guild is very good.
You should do a real webcam blog like on the show.
I found out that a cousin of mine recently started a webshow similar to yours. She’s an actress/writer, like yourself, and has a web series called The Actor Diaries that pokes fun at her acting career. The humor’s similar. I think you’d enjoy it.
I just wanted to say that i found out about the guild a few months ago… someone was talking in vent about how people’s personalities matched their class choice, (mine doesn’t, and I dont feel that there are very many who’s do…) but i watched one episode and I must say you’ve done an excellent job with that theme. The show is hilarious, and your characters’ personalities are really strong. when is season 3 coming? i’m seriously holding my breath so hurry up!
Much love for the guild from across the pond… I’m from england (Sheffield) and me and my mates love the show. looking forwards to new episodes!
great show keep it up!
BLLAAAAAADDDDEEZZZ!!!!- Vork
My friends and I attend Loyola Marymount University. We are enjoying watching “The Guild” and support you on this project.
One evening I was looking up some things for an MMORPG game that I play, Guild Wars, and I came up to the website, The Guild. I love it, and for a while I thought I was the only one who knew that the show existed, but then again, I’m one of the few people who play GW in my area. Well I met a few guildies who know about the show and I was pretty stoked that I could talk to someone about your show. My wife and I just finished all the episodes, and we enjoy it so much due to the fact that our lives almost match the movie.
Keep doing what your doing and cant wait for season 3 to come out!
an emot for ya:
/cheers
/clap
Loving it!
Hope season 2 will be on iTunes for UK – will gladly pay for it, another revenue stream for you?
And yes, I’m a gamer
Darkmoon Faire EU FTW!
The Guild is hilarious! Felicia Day is hot, too. Keep it up! (I mean The Guild.)
so after i got back from iraq i bought this xbox 360. And my best friend wanted to borrow it for a week so i let him borrow it and got it back and there was a few shows from the guild on there. so i watched them and the first one i seen was with you playing the violin. i loev the violin and i have seen every episode to this day thank you are amazing
There’s something humorous about saying the people at xbox “think outside the box,” but I’m too tired to figure out what it implies.
I just wanted to say that I really enjoyed the Guild. I have watched both seasons now, and felt gutted that there was no season 3. I heard the next day after I finished the last of season 2 that Microsoft came through and there would be a season three. I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed it. I just recently got a computer for home use, and the Guild is the only web show I have watched. Thanks, and good luck with season three.
Ahhh…the angst, tha pain, the anger, the joy…the ridicolous and still fantastic parallell life as an elf or whatever wonderfully captured.

“funny and attractive white people who trade quips in an urban coffee shop.”
Wouldn’t this concept generally suck, regardless of the color of the people? I like your work, please stay away from such low-brow commentary.
@chuck
Chip, shoulder, much?
Obviously a thinly-veiled description of ‘Friends’ and its many copyists, not racial commentary.
Love watching the Guild. While watching I noticed you look really cute with your hair up. You should do a photo shoot with a pony tail. You also have a cute butt, I just gotta say.
I just finished reading this- http://popwatch.ew.com/popwatch/2009/05/felicia-day-the.html
“TV has to please everybody to make a show, the Web needs to be the opposite.”
Thanks for saying that, it just solidified something that I’ve been writing for the last 5 years. Now that I have this in mind I can finish writing it, hijack others to make it, and get it on film.
Thanks Miss Day
I’m so happy that I stumbled across The Guild on XBox Live! I love you Codex
lol yah gives a wow and guild wars junky somthing to watch during server down time lol
[...] Day. Känd som skaparen av webserien The Guild, Penny från Joss Whedons Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog och massor av annat. Det går inte att [...]
I blame you for this. I have said no more than once to joining twitter and facebook and anything else social networking related…but I started watching the guild last week, bought the dvds 2 days later, joined the official web site a few days after that and now…I’m actually thinking about joining twitter. so you can add that to the list:
@feliciaday makes me want to twitter.
I haven’t joined yet. I’m going to try to hold out for another year. Or until season 3 is released, whichever comes first. God.
P.S. Go you! Keep those Guild rights, woman!
“If it worked as comedy, let’s try it as action!” HollywoodThink
<blockquote>
DreamWorks, Masi Oka Give Avatars Top Billing
Avatars will play a major role in the upcoming feature film project from Heroes star Masi Oka and Hollywood production studio DreamWorks. Reportedly, the plot centers on a group of teenagers who initially link up in the metaverse via their avatars. The story, conceived of by Oka, then moves back to the real world where the teens are tested to see just how strong their online relationships are. Defenders, the working title of the project, is termed a “family adventure” by The Hollywood Reporter. D.J. Caruso is slated to direct while game journalist Gary Whitta will pen the script. Speaking with the Reporter, Oka said of the movie’s inspiration: “You can be whoever you want to be [online],” he said. “The question came to me: What if you had to live up to the person you created in the virtual world?”
>/blockquote>
And where have we seen that idea lately?
Well, I just have to say it: Not that funny and not that clever. I dunno, I guess if you’re a WoW nerd, there’s probably some humor there for you. Still, not that original, but hey, bandwagon jumpers will jump on anything.
Someone jumped me at VirtualWorldNews with the comment that this idea has played out in comic books for years. True enough but also flatworld thinking (infinite regress is not a valid argument). The trick of recycling is to find the new twist. This movie would be the old twist. What Felicia and crew managed was to find the realities of the online life in virtuality and reveal the humor in the pain. It is a bit like Buffy in that regard. The secrets are a strong ensemble and inventive comedic performance. I suspect she gets a lot from the improv skills. If one takes the same theme and keeps it action and slathers on boatloads of CGI, they get StarDreck: The Rebranding and it becomes one dimensional. The direction Felicia took was/is inventive comedically and production-wise. Like Brit-sci-fi in the early days of Doctor Who, she is relying on the writing and acting instead of post and effects.
I’m not a big Guild fan (not my gen). I have a lot of respect for what they are accomplishing outside the Hollyweird system and in terms of taking the new distribution and production models and wringing good stories out of them. It’s the early days of radio plays. Her crew will develop through many projects and become a power unto themselves. Look at Serenity and notice how the Whedon tribe evolved through Buffy et al and can now produce anything they can conceive and it will always be high quality even when not spot-on-zeitgeist (eg, Dollhouse). That is true of every art production dynasty. You see the same players, recurrent themes, etc. Odd example but illustrative, look at what John Wayne, Huston et al did from the b-westerns up to The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance. They developed both the team and the themes and by the time they get to Valance, they are doing it effortlessly even as they turned the whole genre on its head.
“Life’s a long song.”
What on earth are you talking about?
The idea of exploring the relationship between people’s created personas online vs who they are in the “real world” has been done plenty of times. Heck, Snow Crash predates the web. It wouldn’t be shocking for others to explore the same territory. It’s a broad topic and increasingly relevant to people’s day to day experiences.
A web comedy based on stereotypes of MMO players whose life centers around the game? That’s more original. More importantly, it’s really funny. Probably less so if you don’t get what’s being alluded to, but still amusing. It’s a niche production. Good times.
Sure, The Guild is on the edge of an emerging shift in production and distribution of content we’ll see more of in the future, but let’s not overthink it here. It’s a shortform sitcom made on the cheap and distributed via the web and marketed to its natural audience. Yay for Felicia. I hope this provides training ground for future successes. But there’s no need to go off the deep end here. That’s just the crazy talking.
In summary, Jeff Lewis is hilarious.
I have to say that The Guild can be very funny to people outside its niche audience. I have never been a gamer, moderate CP ensured truly lousy hand-eye co-ordination and motor skills. I am also not a geek, although I’ve been around enough of them to understand the world a bit. So in summary, if a 40+ male with no experience of the gaming world (excepting the old Infocon text-based games like The Hitch Hiker’s Guide on a c64) and only a tangential connexion to geekdom can still find The Guild to be one of the funniest shows out there, that speaks volumes for the quality of the writing. Felicia “wrote what she knows” and did such a good job of it that even those of us who don’t know that world as intimately as she does can still be hugely entertained by her work. Bravissima!
@EA: That she is smart, talented, funny and a tad insecure but in an environment where all of that rounds out to success. Take your head out of that jealous dark place and applaud the winner. You’ll feel better. There is no deep end in a shallow pool.
What Stuart said. I’m a lifer in the comp-sci game from before most here and I think The Guild is funny and insightful. There is a backlash to success and some of it is coming her way. I’m not a big fan because I’ve other things to do not because it isn’t good work. As an analyst I keep up with the events that change the way we use the web. As a native Huntsvillian, I also root for the home team.
Jealous of what exactly Len? The only thing I was critical of was your awkwardly written overanalysis. The artistic dynasty comments were over the top. If I’m guilty of anything, it’s not being nice and choosing to remain silent.
I think The Guild is a high quality show. I was complimentary of it. It’s the reason I’m posting on this blog.
I think the show best appeals to a niche audience that actually gets what’s being alluded to. How could it not? They’re plenty of jokes that rest of knowledge of MMORPG gameplay and players. I think it still can be funny outside of that, but it probably will be generally less so for that audience.
If this constitutes backlash, wow.
On an aside, you could watch both seasons pretty fast. Not that you aren’t captain awesome and so busy with awesome things you don’t have time to watch shows you find funny and insightful, but if your schedule clears up a little it’ll take less time to watch every episode than it would to watch a movie. I mean, you are posting on a blog about it.
Nice try. I’m snarkproof.
Art dynasties exist because people create them out of their work and social networks. They can become powerful as was the case with John Wayne. That example is given as it began in the Republic Studios but spans his entire career and included some of the most successful persons in the industry. As she notes, The Guild will come to a natural end and then her projects as an independent producer may rely as The Guild has on that network. She lists forward looking projects that indicate to me at least that she is thinking beyond sketch-based comedy and even linear art. Smart.
Success builds on success. In any success there are those who climb aboard just in time to get a little of the limelight, then there are those who can’t live with just a little and begin to crab. If one is even a little insecure, those people are to a career what water is to erosion. As someone said to me once, “It’s all about your mates.”
“The brightest moments career wise, I was the target of people around who were there because of the elusive glow that lures them with promises of warmth and better things. But at its very epicenter—where the star stands—there is nothing.” Melanie Safka
She dissed her focus on her grades. While the actual coursework may not be that valuable, she may find out that the iron discipline she acquired has a very high value later regards identity maintenance, or plain old keeping her wits. I’m a bit long in the tooth myself to be overcome by her looks, but I find her spirit, nerve and tenacity to be irresistable. I hope she hangs on to those. She will need them.
“She dissed her focus on her grades. While the actual coursework may not be that valuable, she may find out that the iron discipline she acquired” that was exactly what atruck me too. I have the ambition, drive and iron self-discipline of a comatose sloth, but Felicia’s rigorous self-motivation to do well in whatever she does is impressive, particularly because it appears untainted with the frequent corollary attitude of narcissistic arrogance.
I absolutely love this web series. I really makes me smile, and since I gave up World of Warcraft not, but a year ago I can really relate to the subject. Your main character reminds me a lot of myself in a weird sort of way.
I normally don’t post things but I felt I should. Keep up the good work.

Gday Felicia,
I re-downloaded all The Guild episodes yesterday (via LIVE) to watch em all again, beginning to end… ok, it was also partially to spite my ISP.
Anyway, thoroughly enjoyed it (again) – love the character interaction and those little ‘webcam’ starts you do really stand out as you flex your expressive/artistic muscle (OK, that sounds dirty/wrong now that I reread it).
I’m a musician but you guys look like you’re having a great time making the show – it’s convinced me I have to at least try to make a web series at some stage! Got the idea, just gotta learn how to be funny now
Of course, after the writing comes the whole filming stuff… one step at a time eh… think i’ll get the music going first.
I’m REALLY looking forward to season 3 – way to create anticipation with the fight episode =D
…PS… Thanks for remaining accessible to your fans… It’s a wonderful thing to do….
Peace & Love,
Daniel
I love the groundbreaking nature of the series and the dry wit, but the thing that really blew my mind was when you busted out Mendelssohn’s violin concerto in S2E05. I had to back it up and watch it half a dozen times to decide if you were actually playing it. This was before I discovered that you were a music major in college. I’m a violinist and an actor myself, so I was pretty excited to see someone else combining the same pair of skills. Where else can I see or hear you performing on the violin? I vote for more of that.
The short violin bit was awesome. Throwing up on the stunt guys shirt, not so awesome.
Men are tools. Sears sells them in the Craftsmen aisle.
Something for the classicists who like funeral music:
http://home.hiwaay.net/~cbullard/mp3/DomineIesu.mp3
Gotta love the Melodyne plugin.
Maybe a YouTube of Day playing a complete violin solo sans The Guild could be a Christmas present to the fans.
Bloody steroids and benadryl: sleep all afternoon, up all night. Chemo sucks.
Possibly inappropriate for a fan blog, but one thought: in a relationship where men are tools, women are appliances. See ya at Sears.
So one of my best friends sent me the link to The Guild and I instantly fell in love.
Then, of course I had to show it to my mom and brother because we sadly all play WOW.
In a span of less than 24 hours we’ve managed to watch season 1 three times and season 2 twice.
(Our WOW was down so we watched The Guild lol)
Now, the mother and brother are on a mission to tell everyone in their guilds and on their friends list to watch The Guild.
Well here is the answer to who would you never want on your WoW guild team:
http://www.raphkoster.com/2009/07/31/wow-addiction-therapy-guild/
Shrinks are playing the game as a way to help the game addicts.
Fascinating. Now Codex’s shrink has to put in an appearance in the game. That has plot potential. Would she have to combat the evil shrink alone or would her guild mates help her or hurt her or both?
OMG – Love The Guild – Love you & all the cast!! I swear, we’ve got Bladezz brother in my WoW guild.
Your sense of humor transcends all platforms of gaming – I ROFLMAO’d at Tall Hot Girl’s response to Codex’s admission to RP gaming vs. console gaming.
Anyway – can’t wait for S3… would have LOVED to been @ Comic Con this year to see you guys. Ah well, there’s always ’10.
Keep up the incredible work!! I’ll be perched on my couch on 8/25 to catch the 1st webisode on X Live.
gurl gamerz 4evah!!

The guild is awesome and i really liked your work in dr. horrible’s sing along blog. i gotta ask which character you would prefer to be, penny or codex?
Miss Day,
Thank you, thank you, thank you. How many more times can I say before it gets old? What I mean is thank you for bringing your story out and sharing it with people. There are too many critical people out there who do not realize how much a game, especially one that is very socially advanced like a MMORPG, can draw a person in. At first its a break away from the norm, but then you make friends, meet people in-game that you can connect with on a more substantial level, and you’re hooked.
I have always been a big RP game player, I kept it under wraps, a closet nerd. For many years I avoided WoW, I didn’t want to fall into that category, but eventually, I tried it, just the 10 day trial, and that’s all it took. Now I am an avid player, and I truly understand how games like this can take over a person, slowly pull them out of RL situations and into an in-game world.
I love the game, I can’t deny it, and I love that more people are stepping out and bringing to light that there are gamers everywhere, its not always some 40-year-old man living with his parents, we come in all shapes and sizes, from all kinds of social circles, and with all kinds of expectations.
I love your show, it is hilarious, I have never enjoyed a web show as I have yours. Maybe only gamers can relate to the wit, or see the humor in some of the situations, oh well, there are a lot more of us out there then people realize.
Oh, and “Do you want to Day my Avatar” is my favorite song of the year, right up there with the ROFLMAO! song. Can’t wait for season 3, just wish the episodes were longer lol.
When does the next episode for season 3 come out? I’m like getting really into The Guild.
Felicia!! grats on such an awesome show! I love your simplicity!
Thank you for creating The Guild. It still entertains me to this day. Also, Do You Want To Date My Avatar has been stuck in my head for days now. Best of luck to you and all of your projects.
I am playing 1 vs 100 while you are co-hosting I must say you have a nice voice but this game is a piss off lol
neever gonna make the mob
Thanks for the guild felicia!
What I wanted to ask is; where is the guild episode 108 on xbox live? THat’s where I stopped but I cant find it any further.
I love the show and your really pretty, I would love to find out how to be an extra on the guild its great:)
I love “Do You Want To Date My Avatar” beyond all belief! I had heard of your web series beforehand, but never got around to watching them.
I saw the music video the night before we were leaving for BlizzCon and after curiously checking out the first episode was instantly addicted. Pack socks, watch season one episode six. Pack a t-shirt, watch season two episode seven.
You were great at BlizzCon by the way. Infectiously funny and charming.
I play your video all the time. So much that my husband thinks I have a problem
I just watched the new episode of season 3 and I thought it was a great way to begin the third season. Can’t wait for the rest. Keep up the good work!!!!
Hey Felicia,
Right now I’m a senior in college majoring in Theater, Film and Dance and I’m currently in senior seminar where one of the assignments is to pick diferent performing artists that are inspirations to us and you’re one of the people on my list. Some people laugh at that but knowing how you started The Guild gives me hope for the very dark future ahead of me at the moment. If you have any hints or cheat codes I can borrow for life I’d be more than willing to write it down. Keep up the good work and looking forward for the rest of season three.
You should have people made into avatars that send in pics of themselves
but yeah hilarious show.
I just found out about The Guild after watching Dr. Horrible, so I had to watch it all. This is a great show. Feliciais a comedic genius.
Looking forward to more episodes.

Congrats on this, Felicia: “and now strangers quote the lines back at me.” As an aspiring screenwriter I commend you on this! What an awesome feeling it must be to hear the words you’ve written performed and then quoted by fans! I’m still working towards my big break into the biz. Though, my genres are romance & drama.

To be honest i never heard of this show until i saw it on my xbox. I was wondering what it was about and though i will just download one episode and see how it goes. I was hooked straight away and downloaded as many episodes as i could. Great characters and great stories.
Felicia
Just found “The Guild” – great show, very funny, I am hooked. “Do You Want To Date My Avatar” is fantastic.
Felicia you guys rock it with The Guild. I only found it a couple of days ago but I am now caught up and I can’t wait for the next one to come out. Way to nail it and the show gets better with every new one that comes out.
Keep them comming Gilrlie.
Really a great job! I’m an old MMO player so i appreciated so much by the grotesque which often occur within a guild. Really funny!
And i think Felicia is a great actress, and great singer too!

I dont play mmos but I can relate to my XBL friends wich makes this a great show to be free on the marketplace, its one of the best shows ive seen in a long time like the first 2 seasons of weed mixed with the office, cant wait for season 3 episode 4 keep up the good work im sure your fan base is large
I love your show. I watch it through my fiance’s Xbox and I enjoy every episode!!!!! Hope you would make more seasons and I wish you the best!!!!!!!!
Felicia! The Guild is amazing, and I was beyond thrilled to see you and the cast of Dr. Horrible at the Emmy awards. Hooray for smart, talented writers/performers like you! Not to mention you’re cuter than a basket of kittens. Keep up the amazing work!
Haha, thank Goodness for StumbleUpon! I found the song “Do You Wanna Date My Avatar?” on youtube, and decided to see what The Guild was all about. Well, needless to say, I am hooked! I watched all the episodes (and had that song stuck in my head) all day! Thanks for the show, its nice to have game stuff to do when you are away from the game (which i just lost). Thanks again!

Hello!
I just finished watching episode 5 and truly appreciated the humor (it will sustain me through my crap job today). Lord Bolio needs to make a return appearance – and is there any way you can persuade Jinx to make a “Fops are Creepy” shirt? I’ll wave an Andrew Jackson at that one in no time flat.
The series is amazing and inspired…I’m looking forward to seeing how the current season plays out.
Best regards.
Hi!
I’m wondering if anyone else has pointed out that your song “Do You Wanna Date My Avatar” (2009) is hauntingly similar in theme to The Kimberly Trip’s tune “I Wanna Date Your Avatar” (from “Popularity Contest”; Glitter Kitty Records, 2007). Just curious!
D.P.M. the songs don’t sound alike…
But the tittles look similar.
Nice way to promote the kimberly trips there.
I never said the songs sound similar, Mike…I said the title is hauntingly similar. You must agree that it’s a strong coincidence. And I didn’t say it to promote anyone’s band…
Theres quite a few songs out thier with similar titles to them.
And mentioning a band on a well read blog is somewhat akin to promoting them, since people would wonder what your trying to say..
This does not mean its a bad thing since that band plays good tunes. In my humble opinion at least…
And you said “theme” D.P.M which could mean more then the title, since theme encompases alot.
I agree like I said thier is a coincidence in the title, but this is not the first time in music history that this sort of thing has happened..
Hmmm….giving the info on the band does help promote them, you are correct. I was just stating that it wasn’t my intention to promote them. Who knows…they may be jerks! ha
I know you can’t copyright a title, or lyrical theme…but it just seems like a really odd coincidence, to have such an original and unique title and lyrical theme show up twice. That was my only point…..
The Guild is fantastic.
All the characters are great and the tory keep me wanting for more.
Lte me say that “Do you wanna date my avatar?”, its AWESOME.
I laugh every time i watch it, and every time i am amzed not only by your voice, but with your beautiful eyes!!!
You are so beautiful!!!
Thx for all the fun, your work is great and you are extremely funny.
The Guild is an awesome show!! Nevermind the hilarious WoW references, but you guys have written the show really well! I sorta miss the old days of episodes clearly shot with handheld cameras instead of tripods…but hey, now that you guys have funding you can do a whole lotta stuff with the series! Good luck!
Dang, 12 Million hits in 3 years. That’s amazing, but me. I’ve directed 3 feature lenth movies with minimal success, and a little name reconizition. I saw the music video and your apperance at E3. This hole thing that Xbox is going to have with Facebook and Twitter. You said something in this articale about making your own web series and going for 13 Million hits but I guess you’ll reach 13 Million before anyone else does. I plan on shooting a pilot episode for my own web series, the way your’s started was a bit suttle but mine is going to start with a bang, and believe me I know what I’m doing. I’m playing with fire with this script that I wrote and my brother who also watches your show says “there is no way people will avoid this.”
Writing about what you know has proven you right with the Guild.
Reflecting my own experiences in gaming online and the dubious pleasures of gamer guilds, all I can say is: You hit it!
Please don’t stop, for as long as you can manage: Please keep it up!
Thank you
I just wanted to tell you that me and my friends love your project. We are a WoW Guild and you did a perfect parody of the stuff that happens in MMORPG’s.
Best wishes from Germany
Nosi
I have a few things to say. Most are good lol. I love the guild it has kept me occupied for the past week lol and gave me a new song to listen to lol. While i was watching i was thinking this is a cool idea and it is REALLY original cause i dont think theres many to any at all like it. I do have one down side, kinda, I thought this was a group of 6 people who played MMOs all day and night and they were all friends so one day they came up with the idea to start a web series. When i found out that you all were actors and only some of yo actually play the game loses some of its relate ability. Even tho its not 100% relate able, I still enjoy watching very episode that comes out.
Falicia Day, you are the best actor ever. you are so funny. Also the guild is my favorite series or onythiing that you are in. i will always follow your acting and the guild. cant w8 till season3 episode 11. also i play wow 2
I think you are a genius. The Guild is proof that Hollywood doesn’t know what its doing keeping you in the margins.
I love this show and have turned many people into Guildies. Great concept and excellent work.
Sean
Felicia –
Thank you so much for producing this. I really like how you kept this as a grassroots project in the beginning and still currently retain the rights to your project.
It is a wonderfully unique idea that lets others know about the huge online gaming community. It’s been a blast to watch and laugh-out-loud at each episode.
Your fan base is huge, and I can relate to the characters. Keep up the great work. I’m looking forward to the next episode!
-T
Just got done watching S3 Final episode…was AWESOME! The ending was great (amongst other things)
But was sad at how short the whole series were [both 1 &2, and @ ending] 
)
I hope there will be a season 4, as my finance and I both really enjoyed the series (still re-watch S1 & 2).
(also just found / watched The Legion of Neil…also funny, and was interesting to see such a different character from Sid AKA Codex
Felicia -
I normally don’t post on actor’s websites, but I just couldn’t help myself
I was recently turned on to The Guild by my MMO friends (I am an avid FFXI player) and I must say it is truly a great show!!! I just finished watching all 3 seasons and hope to see many more. Watching this show has made me realize the fact that I too am addicted to MMO’s, (JK, I already knew) and I don’t give a damn! LOL! This show naturally brought me to the effinfunny site and The Legend of Neil, which I have enjoyed and hope to see more of in the future as well.
I too am a HUGE sci-fi fan and was surprised to find out that you were in a few episodes of Buffy TVS, which is one of my all-time fave shows. Guess I’ll have to go back and watch those again, as I think u are truly a very talented actor/comedian, (your body and facial expressions are priceless… the song in TLoN “The Musical” come to mind) singer AND musician. I have played guitar 30+ years and can tell just from the few notes u play in the guild ep that you have plenty of talent in that field as well. Being a music producer, I believe I have a pretty good ear for talent, and girl u definitely got it goin on!!! I have no doubt that you will have a long and prosperous career.
All that being said, I wanted to say thanks for the inspiration, as I have both always wanted to learn to play the violin AND possibly do a web series of my own someday when and if I can ever find the time.
And lastly, thanks for the laughs! Keep up the good work!!!
I really enjoy The Guild. I’ve found myself looking forward to Tuesdays and each new episode. It’s been a big part of me embracing my geekiness. Looking forward to Season 4. BTW, I don’t know if you need untalented, peon volunteers, but my summers are free.:-)
Hey I think it’s really cool that your from Huntsville because that’s where I live! If you ever come back into town I hope you announce it or send me an email or something, I’d love to get your autograph and chat for a bit. The show is great! Keep up the good work!
-Max
Love the show Keep em coming!
Really like your outlook on things you said many times in various interviews and such about being rejected for various reason from acting parts etc (probably could of said that better) and instead where most would of given up you went and did your own thing and it’s a great sucess.
That is really inspiring to me and I bet many others. Not that I’m in the same line of work but that type of attitude toward things could help people in many situations.
Anyways I seem to rambling.
Good Job and good luck
-Eddie
“The guild” is really one of the best serie I have ever seen. I love all the characters, congratulations Felicia Day !
I am enjoying the 3rd season.
Et, comme on dit chez nous : bravo et bonne continuation !!!
Jean
Hi felicia
just wanted to say that the guild is amazing !!!
i started watching it a few day ago and OMG im hooked, its so funny as it kinda relates to myself ( world of warcraft player/fan for 5yrs now) i hope that u and the rest of the brilliant cast carry on making it and best of luck to u all in the future
i have recommended the guild to all my mates in york, England
thanks again for being so awesome
lee
p.s i watched your “do u wanna date my avatar” video on youtube today and cant stop watching it, that song is ultra addictive .. you have a beautifull voice and i think that u and robin look amazing in your costumes and i am now in love with robin thorsen shes so pretty
Love the show. Codex really captures the inner termoil of trying to figure out what to do about the people around her. The “webcam view” totally captures the expressiveness of the human face…which makes for great contrast against the MUD/MMO world where those details are mostly lost. Can totally relate (I mean about the people around me, I last played D&D in 1979 or something, so not so hip to the MMO world).
Found the show the typical internet way. The music video “Do You Want to Date My Avatar?” was shared on Facebook by a friend, watched the video a couple of times, wondered about this “Euro-technodance group” that I never heard of called “The Guild”. Thought they might be out of Holland or something. Sounded kind of like Milk, Inc. Thought it was clever that the “band members” put down their instruments for the music video and acted/danced instead. Looked for other “The Guild” music video…and found I was WAAAAAY off track.
Guess I was just a Noob. Absolutely love your work, would be a fanboi except I am a little too deep into middle-age to take that moniker.
…Drucifer
Hey, I just discovered the show today and wanted to say, “good job.” So, uh… yeah, GOOD JOB! I love it!
Only a wow player could have written a show like this. You are laying our secrets bare to the world! And it is never too late to be a Felicia Day fan boy, I am 60. Granted I have been gaming longer than most of you have been alive. Even ny Atari 800 is older.
Cheers! I stumbled on your Avatar song on youtube while looking for behind the scenes of the Avatar movie, ended up watching all three episodes of the Guild in a row. Great entertainment. Used to play Asheron’s Call and then later a bit of WoW. Anyway, will keep an eye out for new episodes. Good luck in the future!
Hi Felicia,
It’s almost 4am and I’m watching THE GUILD again, for the 5 time in 2 days. I think I have fallen in love with Felicia! Each time I review the show, I find more content and deeper story lines. I would like to see all the shows back 2 back without loading, so I got online to see if I could buy them, and luck was on my side. Since I’m feeling lucky now, I feel this is the best time to ask… May I take you (Felicia) out sometime? I just had to ask… you never know… just maybe you’ll be moved knowing that you have the power to make “THE” dream of mine come true. It’s a +9 to kindness, and we all could do with more of that. I hope to hear from you soon!
Will
Felicia,
It took 3 seasons worth of episodes before a friend found this show on youtube and told me I had to check it out. I can’t explain how thankful I am for that friend, and how thankful I am that you created this web show. For once in my life I was able to identify with a character, Codex, on a daily basis on some level or another. Thank you for making it possible. =) This show ROCKS!
-Camilla
P.S. Way to stick it out! I’m happy to read that you kept the rights to this, and didn’t sell out to a large corporation out of desperation or anything like that. Keep it going as long as you can! I’m rooting for you!
LOL
Same think happened to me, and I can’t believe it took so long to find.
I can’t wait until season 4 comes out!
i been a huge fan of Felicia since Buffy and think she outdid herself with the guild
keep up the amazing work
Hi Felicia!
Your work is amazing and I wish you all the luck in the world on your new projects!
Since I didn’t see another spot for it, I wanted to let you know that “Date my avatar” made me laugh until I cried. ^_^ Thank you for making my ribs hurt.
Best wishes and good luck! You’re beautiful! (And I mean that in a non-creepy way
)
I love you in a very creepy way.
Just FYI, you should probably be just a little scared…
Hey Eric Z, you finally got tired of your lovedoll i’m guessing!!!!!
I’m sure Felicia has more important things to do than read your drivel so i’m gonna do it for her.
Get a life dude.
you are beautiful
watching all 3 seasons of the guild in one night was amazing
i would love to play a game or two with ya so email me your gamer tag
I love your work in the Guild and as the faerie in The Legend of Neil! Girl gamers rock!
Redheads for the win! *highfive!*
-Lindsay
Great show!
As a non-gamer, I don’t get some of it, but my wife is really into gaming so she can fill me in. I still crack up about Cheese Gouging.
Felicia, you need to make an episode involving WoW’s stoner community. In my experience, about 1 out of every 4 WoW players smoked heavily during my time. It is a very important social aspect of gaming that I think you have left out thus far.
I’m only through season 1 so far though, great show. I actually thought of a similar idea and ended up finding out this existed!
Love it! I just stumbled across this on Netflix and have watched all 3 seasons this morning. Thanks so very much and keep up the great work!
You’re so hot!
MSN is the most disorganized, obnoxious website. Hard to find videos, hard to shut off auto-play (I never did figure that one out), and videos don’t line up in chronological order. Horrible experience, but GREAT web series. This is such a “why didn’t I think of that?” concept, that I’ll be really surprised if the web doesn’t become THE primary outlet for good serial entertainment, especially independently produced.
One more thing. For god sake, PLEASE continue insisting on full control. The big media giants are dinosaurs. There is no reason why they have to monopolize entertainment anymore. The web belongs to EVERYONE (that is, until access is monopolized, sadly). Change the future NOW!
I LOVE The Guild. It is soooo funny. Can’t wait til season 4!
What a hoot! Just found it and only have a couple of episodes to go until finished…please hurry with Season 4.
Okay, took a while to find this page… and I honestly thought I would be cool for posting a few comments that I thought were amusing (nothing offensive, of course). Unfortunately, most likely only because of the one or two drinks involved (never more for mature fellows, right?), I have accidently deleted or screwed up threads times three now. I am getting very angry. I still find punctuation important, however. Irrelevant. I wanted to talk about how awesome the show is and how I think that Felicia Day is fine, but now I am pissed.
I hate this website and it’s incessant need to screw with me (probably my own thing), Show is good, Day is hot, and I need revenge. Or just another bottle of malt liquor.
And to be honest, Everquest is WAY better. Thought that would be a fun one to start….
PS thanks for the work, Felecia
“And to be honest, Everquest is WAY better” The game they play on the guild is actually a fictitious game that is not named. It is not a competiter of Everquest.
Now an actual EverQuest rip off (from what I’ve seen of a friend playing) is found at http://www.eartheternal.com When I watched “The Guild” I kept seeing the family and our friends, except we D&D, and I can see us singing the Christmas special, on Champions RTA, when I game with a friend, I am the loot *****, because he started it and that is the only way I get anything.
have a nice day. (P.S. if I can get it, expect to hear about me on the radio!)
I love the guild watching it right now actually!! n_n and it sort of is the real life me and my friends
Hi Felicia,
Its because of this series that I took an interest in any other projects you were part of…but honestly nothing else will even come close to this as it is near and dear to my geeky heart.
Thanks for being brave and bold enough to share your geekdom with the world….
ok I am using to many elipses… its a bad habit… screw it I like it and I know I won’t stop…
Shows like the Guild brings us geeks and nerds all together.
The era of the geek continues to fly in the face of the ridicule we all once faced in the 80′s and 90′s as kids and teens because now we have a venue for expression without being ashamed and I am loving that tv movies and the internet video streams are coming out of the geek’d closet.
(I am a 30 something and proud of my geek roots…still remember my first pen and paper D&D game on my parent’s patio at age 12…).
A progress update on Season 4 would be great as I got hooked.
Well, gotta get back to playing Baulders Gate I …got an urge to play it again recently reinstalled it.
old school’d
Regards,
-Will
BG is awesome, I like the PS2 version of BG2 though, Ysuran4Ever
I absolutly love this show Felicia, The Guild is an instant hit!!!!! I cant wait for season 4, and that music video was very cool , the music and lyrics were awsome the outfits were perfect (Codex yours wass sexcellent )… all the respect in the world cutie I just needed to get that out there . I got my copy of The Guild , keep up the good work …. ;-]
The Guild is awesome! For an avid wow-head like myself it’s insanely cool and sometimes reminds me of my own guild’s antics =P
“Do you wanna date my avatar” was great and it’s sometimes sung over ventrilo during our raids/quoted in raid chat, always good for the lols and for keeping it light-hearted.
Really looking forward to meeting you when you come down to Australia for Supanova in a few months, until then, Azeroth beckons!
The Guild is really great. I am a guildleader of a WoW Hordeguild myself (the guild Illusion on Bronzebeard – European Server) and i recognize a lot of things that have been in the series. I guess the human reactions come automatically with MMORPG in general.
I am also a photographer (so i love working with 2D things whether it’s photography or film) and i am interesting in making webvids (i have uploaded several raidvids we did do with the guild on Youtube for example). Its one of the reasons i bought a phone that could record movies in HD (720p), a S*msung Omnia HD. The Guild is something i can identify myself with and, for me, it’s a nice way of spending my free time. I have seen all episodes and i can’t wait for season 4, 5, 6, 7 and so on (Or the “Big Screen” eventually).
Anyone got any tips how to set up your own webseries? I have found many tips and info already but i am always interested in some tips from people
Greetings,
Arcus.
i used my online name in mmos
i really like this show is one of my favorites
so far,,,
this show have a good plot, and good qualiy better than other tv programas
congrats…i and go for more
Hi Felicia,
so, the season 4 of the guild will really come? it’s a great webseries, i live here in Brazil and i’m a big fan of the show.
bye bye!
Hi Felicia.
I hadn’t seen The Guild when I met you in Hollywood, but I’ve been watching it since then and I really love it so far. I just finished season 2. Also forgot to mention that I had seen Dr. Horrible’s blog and thought you were great in it. Anyways, just thought I’d let you know that.
See ya.
Months ago a friend recommended me to watch The Guild. I filed that recommendation into the back of my mind and forgot about it, but later on, idly googled it up. Amazing work, will definitely be purchasing a set of DVDs when the situation allows for it.
Hey Felicia!
Since i saw the Musicvideo “date my Avatar” im watching all Guild Episodes. My friends and i play Final Fantasy XI and we remembered so much Situations in the past that we had to laugh nearly all night after watching The Guild together.
1. Thanks for that night of Rofl-Mania
2. keep up the good work!
Oh btw your awesome (^_^)
Loving “the guild”. Can’t wait for season 4.
Hey Felicia! Huge fan of yours since Dr. Horrible (being a shy but likeable supervillain myself), and I was just introducing the video to a friend of mine who’d never seen it before.
Then I saw it…the link to “Do You Wanna Date My Avatar”. I didn’t even know it was yours, at first…then I recognized your face, and then my jaw went into PermaDrop (TM) for the rest of the vid. You were fantastic! The singing was incredible, the whole thing was funny, and you were working it like you stole it, girl!
I am now working my way through Guild videos when I should be sleeping. Thank for all the entertainment, you’re so creative and talented! I can’t wait to see more! Cheers!
You have the right to be proud of that show, and to bask in the gratitude of gamers like me who find it so wonderfully dead on and entertaining. Watching the first episode was like unwrapping a gift, thanks Felicia!
Just found your show by accident on the internet, and I think it is fantastically funny.
I really think this series is very good. To be honoust, I have never seen anything like this show before. I forwarded the links to my friends back in the Netherlands. Kind regards, Johan
(Hi I tried to post something similar earlier but it didn’t get through/ didn’t work.)
I just purchased your Season 1, 2, & 3 DVDs from Amazon.
If you produce a Season 4, I’ll buy that too! I’m sure others would follow suit!
Even a season 5-10… Wishful thinking. ; )
Felicia! The Guild is so awesome I love it. I hadn’t watched it in a while, but I recently re-watched it over and it still makes me laugh so much. The characters are so wacky and funny especially Zaboo, that guy makes me laugh the most. Codex is really cute! ^^
Much love from the United Kingdom! Keep up the great work!
Gamers FTW!
The Guild is absolutely brilliant! It sums up MMOs, guilds, friendship, the virtual world, the real world and all funny things along with it in a nutshell. Thanks to my friend introducing it to me a few months ago, now I’m hooked. I’ve watched Season 1 at least twice now, it is just too funny and makes my day. I even got my interest back in MMOs as I haven’t played them for some time now, this show makes me miss them and all the fun you can have.
Keep up the great work!
I have found The Guild few days ago meanwhile losing time with the Xbox, and I have the pleasure to see all season one in one day and season two in another day.
Characters remember me a lot of role player that I met in the old times, and all the actors has a great work. I love the most the begining of each chapter, kind of monolog of Felicia, the moment when she’s can be as expresive as she want with her eyes and face, and of course a lot of mental sillyness present in everyone who talks alone.
Great great work… Well done, Felicia!
Thanks.
Very nice work Felicia! I’ve watched your webshow series up to the end of season 3 all in a day! You are an inspiration and show the good side of gamers out there =D Cant wait for season 4!!!!
I cannot believe it took me this long to get hooked on your awesome show. Though I dont play WoW anymore (the last time I played was as a raiding Enhancement Shaman pre Dual Wielding in Molten Core, yeah we were technically a nub guild), all the dialogue and expressions were very easy for me to grasp. Like learning to ride a bike again.
Keep up the good work and I cant wait for season 4. Codex should return to doing that cute “Lip Pursing” thing on her vlog. I thought that was such a cute and signature expression for her which kinda went away in the later episodes.
you all suck suck suck suck suck suck suck suck suck suck suck suck suck suck suck suck suck suck suck suck suck suck suck suck suck suck suck suck suck suck suck suck suck suck the boredom out of my life. Thank you all.
I found The Guild through a Netflix recommendation and they were spot on. Great show, I’m anxiously awaiting new episodes!
make the movie
Watching and loving the guild
now i want the comic
Last night I was searching for something on netflix to watch and came across a new show in watch now section The Guild. Loved it got hooked 5 min. into the show. I watched all three seasons and can not wait for Season 4. Haven’t watched webisodes before but now I think maybe I should look for more awsome show.
I just saw this on netflix, that was great writing and acting. I laughed all the way thru seasons 1-3.
I LOVE this show!
I have never played WOW because I know I would end up just like Codex (and with a job, wife & 3 kids that would be baaaaaaaad!). Clever, funny, touching and just stunning!
If you are ever in London (England) and need an Episcopalian Priest who writes zombie fiction in his spare time (well, you never know!?!) drop me a line…
Keep up the astounding work,
Tx
I recently watched the entire series, kudos to you and your team for putting together one of the funniest web series. Do you still play WoW?
More importantly, when is season 4 coming out?
Dear Felicia,
I sawed all episode of The Guild series with passion and I need to say thank to You in name of all happy realized game’s burned-out because the dimensions as you wonderfull describe in the series is very real and super funnyes. Rest in waiting for next episodes of fourth series.
kisses from Rome Italy

I watched all three seasons in one night and absolutely love it. I can’t wait to see how the gang reacts to what you did after the showdown with Allies of Anarchy hehe. Great work and awesome seeing Will Wheaton again as well.
by the way, I hope Wil doesn’t get upset I spelled his name wrong or called the guys Allies instead of Axis of Anarchy. Either way, he is very funny indeed. Love the Zaboo Codex awkwardness. It actually works for the show.
i absolutly love the guild it is fantastic. i have been toying with the idea of a web series about cosplayers good idea or not?
Hi Felicia,
Last month I discovered The Guild because I happened to be thinking about Dr Horrible — I thought you were wonderful as Penny and decided to see what else you’d done. So I found your site, and your link here to watchtheguild.com, and soon was hooked
I watched all three seasons in one weekend, and I loved it!
There were lots of great moments, but in particular the end of season 3, where the guilds battle and Codex heroically rises to the occasion, was awesome on so many levels.
And since that first viewing of seasons 1-3, I frequently find that my browser somehow ends up at either watchtheguild.com or the Guild’s youtube channel. And I find myself rewatching an episode or two. Or three, or four, or five …
I ordered the DVDs a few days ago. They haven’t arrived yet, but I eagerly await them so I will be able to conveniently rewatch The Guild on my TV as well as my computer.
Oh, and I also got the comics — the first time in many years since I’d bought any comics. I loved reading Cyd/Codex’s backstory, and how the guild came to be.
The Guild has, in a short span of time, become one of my favorite series. And I’m not even a gamer — I’ve never played an MMO, and the last game I was really *into* was TIE Fighter back in 1995. I guess you don’t mind having non-gamer Guild fans
Although I’m now tempted to give some of those newfangled games a try …
So, many thanks to you and the cast & crew for creating such an awesome experience. I’m looking forward to season 4!
Thank you SO MUCH for your kind words. I love how the show continues to, on people’s own schedules, grow and entertain
Thanks for supporting us as well by purchasing the DVDs 
Dear Felicia,
Thank you for continuing the work on “The Guild”. In my opinion it’s one of the web shows I ever saw if not the best and I already saw way too many.
All your fans, including me, can be glad having such a creative mind behind these story, especially when people like me who really like MMO’s (such as WoW) recognize these dialogues and moments in your own life with your own guild.
It reminded me of Loriot who simulated daily situations with such amazing precision that you almost think “Hey, that’s exactly how those people would react”.
).
You’d sure make him proud if it ain’t about RPG’s (actually i don’t know if he likes those kind of games or even know of those
Anyway, you did a great job with “The Guild” and I’m looking forward to the 4th season.
May the MMORPG-Gods always guide you and your companions through the hard and good times in your life.
Greetings from Germany
Sorry for again posting but in the 1st line should’ve been written “In my opinion it’s one of the best web shows …”
mmm-Taco???
Thank you for highlighting the stand-out line from Season 4/Episode 2…
The successful TV shows from recent history all had this in common; the one line that people recited around the water cooler the next day.
I am impressed by your comedic talent and your overall sense of timing.
http://bit.ly/mmm-taco

Born and raised in Austin, TX, I feel the same 6th Street artistic inlfuence that has spurned your stardome. Kudos to you and your fellow project colaborators. I, too, left Texas to seek out my future in Southern CA – San Diego. Here is a warm hug and friendly smile from a fellow Texan. Hope to see you on WoW. Above url is our guild, and you are definitely invited. See our guild video on youtube.com caled “Laides of the Legion.” Hook ‘em horns. -Fudan
You are truly an inspiration to a fledgling writer and geek like me. Thank you and so many thanks for adding Wil Wheaton back into my viewing pleasure
Brilliant!
I have been watching The Guild for a couple years now! I love each new episode!
I wanted to thank you for brining something like this to the front, and bringing all the subjects up that many people deal with in their day to day lives online and offline.
Brilliant job! Well done and I can’t wait to see what happens next!!
Just found ” the Guild ” , and love it !
It’s great , thanks Felicia for creating it and thanks to the team for performing so well !
Never let it stop !
I love you !
LOVE THE GUILD!!!! and i live most of the events that happen its so funny!!! Thanks Felicia you rock.
Please please please bring back Lord Bolio that guy is my hero
Saw you and the guy’s of The Guild at Gencon. Sandeep Parikh, Robin Thorson, Jeff Lewis, and you Felicia were all great and very nice when I got all your autographs. Your show ROCKS and you are so beautiful in person. Many success on all your projects!
Hi!
I absolutely LOVE The Guild and probably spend wayyyy too much time in my busy Year 12 (final year of school) schedule. It probably doesn’t help that I spend the other half of my time on various online RPG’s or X-box
Na. I’m doing well (thank goodness!) and your show gives me a bit of much needed down time from the hectic-ness (i love making new words
) of real life 
(much like our much loved gaming!)
Thanks so much for making The Guild and I can’t WAIT for the rest of Season 4!
Jess.
P.S. You should come down here (to Australia) so us Aussie gamers can meet you
And yes…I do use a lot of smiley’s
I have a ~brainwave~ just for like a special episode for the guild you know how codex keeps a video diary of herself I think it would be a great idea for the other cast like vork and zaboo recording themselves about their daily lives so as an audience you can see more about their reactions like codex which would be pretty cool just an ideas if you hate that’s cool if not it would be great if this happens lol maybe for Christmas special *wink* *wink* lol
Same here just about start my final year in high school I will probably be spending most of my time with gcse’s then watching the guild lol then playing my fav RPGs, I’m a big fan of jrpgs like ff13 lost odyssey blue dragon love wow but don’t have it
love fallout 3 best rpg ever wahoo fonv soon and fable 3
Forget about Australia come to the uk
Haha, nerd. Coming from someone who’s spent a disgusting amount of hours playing the IRE MUDs and WoW I have to commend you on The Guild. It is completely hilarious. Keep up the great work!
“The Guild” is absolutely fabulous. I truly love it. There are so many moments where I have to pause the video to just laugh. It reminded me of the old days when I was part of a guild on Ragnarok Online. I rarely buy DVDs but I find your show worth the purchase. Thanks for the great laughs and I hope “The Guild” story last for a while.
I’m a bit obsessed with The Guild at the moment! Being an MMO gamer (LotRO-w00t), I can relate to the story in a way unlike any other web series or TV show, and I honestly see a bit of myself in every character. Especially Vork. Unfortunately.
I stumbled across the guild strictly by accident. I’ve since watched every episode, because, as a gamer, I think its hilarious how the characters are reflections of so many (some not so) ridiculous notions about the game culture.
I enjoyed both of the music videos thusfar as well. One person in particular, the guy at 2:08 in Game On reminds me of a Probation Officer that I know (No, hes not MY probation officer, I work with him). I mentioned it to him the other day with a few quips about moonlighting with an acting career.
My boyfriend and I have played WoW for 4 years. My uncle, also a wow player, bought me all 3 seasons of The Guild for my birthday. Definitely one of the best shows I have ever seen! Do You Wanna Date My Avatar is my new favorite song, I’ve had it stuck in my head for at least the last week straight.
I wanted to thank you and high five you for making such an excellent and hilarious representation of MMO life. As officers in our guild, we can definitely relate to the struggles of guild administration and the huge variety of people who play.
We had only one (very small!) complaint. While I can definitely relate to Codex — shy by nature, not great at singlehandedly leading things, happier with my computer than with most people — there was no character that my boyfriend could relate to. He’s a college student who actually knows how to interact with people
I also wanted to say that I have an even greater respect for you now, knowing that this whole thing was your idea, and that you’ve kept the rights yourself. Props to you! Hang onto those rights, we all love The Guild as *your* creation.
One last thing — when (IhopeIhope) more The Guild comes out, I’ll happily watch it online to get the latest updates. But I will also buy every DVD because you deserve it. Keep it up!
I too came across the guild with little idea why, but I have to say it’s awesome.
The Game On video reminded a lot of a Hustle episode Season 3 episode 4 a Bollywood Dream, english view on the indian style, and like that episode i thoroughly enjoyed it. Did you use an external Choreographer and, if so, whom was it?
The interaction of personalities of the characters is always enthralling, though it’s a bit of a shame the lead is so whiny and neurotic – makes it feel like a one person show too often. Are you planning on developing the other characters more with mini storylines (similar to the recurring cameo from Sandeep’s char’s mother)
Good luck keeping everyone entertained like you have for the past 3 1/2 seasons!
i love the show but im disappointed i have the first three seasons saved on my 360 but i havent seen any indication of when season 4 will be bought to the australian xbox live. can someone please tell me if they know when it will be or when itll be released on dvd if not on live
the guild is one of the best web show’s i’ve ever seen before!
i play online-games too, and i also have a guild ^^ and – like in “the guild” we talk together (with teamspeak or whatever) xD and now there’s a show which shows how gamers r living
god, thats so cool!
keep on goin produce “the guild”
Its eerie how many points you hit on that I can relate to from past and present Guild experiences. You folks are truly talented and I just love the series. Im only part way through S2 and I look forward to watching everything. Thank you.
Greetings from the land down under. Love The Guild. Tink can move like nobody’s business, clara can pull off some of the best one liners, vork’s neurotic attitude makes me crack up, zaboo’s oversupportive’d love of codex is funny as, and codex is cool as. (No wonder she’s played by the hottest celeb I know.
Looking forward to season 5. Hopefully we’ll see Codex and Zaboo actually hook up. But I feel for fawkes. He was funny. (And my scottish ancestry means I’m all for the idea of wearing a kilt. But the love quote he ends with the words ‘generic greeting card’. He’s so cocky, and has me ROFLMAO nearly eveery ep he’s been shown in. (And Venom and reilly hooking up? Genius. sadist with the masochist. perfect match. lol.)
I love the Guild. It’s the first web-series I’ve ever seen, so the short episodes were almost teasingly short,yeat each episode is better than the next. I Love it!
I LOVE The Guild!
<3
Hiiiiii
I am an expat living in thailand and am glad to congrdulate you on your world wide sucess of the guild!!!!!! It is awesome and watched by many of my friends here in thailand. Keep up the good work you are epic
-preston
upsoloutly love the show mary me felicia ?
pl0xorz lols
but in all serious greatest show ever pity so short is there a way to donate for season 4? i finished season3 bout 15 mins ago and now so sad life i unfulfilled :/
rs pvp time i spose :/
Is it wrong to be in love with someone I’ve never met? Well…… Damnit.
Any time you’re in Portland Oregon dinners on me!
Hi!
About the Guild learned recently, but it looked all that you can download for free. Yes, a good series, short series does not tire. Of course the realism a little, but the plot twists amused.
Greetings from Russia.
Season 5, PLEASE!!!
I love this show and I love you for making it. May it never end, at least not until it’s a sitcom
I truly admire you, Felicia
The show you created is awesome and i can practise my english and have fun with it
greetings from Spain
Hey Felicia, BIG fan of you and the show. The writing is sharp and is a great example of how to write to the rhythm of the internet.
I DID have a problem with the last season though, in that i found it a big let down compared to the others. Sorry, just the way i feel :\ The stakes – after the brilliant set up from S3 was a big exercise in WGAF? for mine. Codex’s computer breaking down and the whole Cheesy Beards storyline etc. didn’t have a big enough pay off (I felt) whereas the possibility of her and Zaboo getting together did (but that was at the end).
I felt it was all too much icing, not enough cake – but that’s just me. Don’t get me wrong, I love everything you do. Just finished the comic and its brilliant
So go tell me to jump if you want, as I have no doubt some of your fans might when reading this…
Dolly
Ahoy hoy,
Thought I’d drop some lines here. I’m not good at the whole brevity thing on Twitter, except for a bit of mickey-taking (I saw your twitter alter-ego just started following back my twitter alter-ego
).
Actually, I only got into The Guild recently. I guess I’ve been aware of it for a long time, being a long-time WoW-player, but I sort of dismissed it out of hand for some reason. Maybe I just couldn’t see the humour in certain things, at that point being an officer and raid-leader in a medium raiding guild (*shudder*). Maybe I felt it didn’t really portray the transient nature of an on-line community such as a guild, but on the other hand you kinda have to make it work as a comedy.
Anyways, there’s a lot of other things that are just spot on. Just the name of the guild cracks me up. It’s such a quintessential old-school Alliance guild-name, and reminds me of the name of my old guild, before I switched to Horde. I can totally relate and sympathise with Codex and her feelings about being made guild leader, without wanting it. I think a lot of people, including myself, have been in a similar situation.
I also started reading up on the story behind the guild and its development, and I must say I’m really impressed what you’ve done with it. I especially liked how you’ve managed to retain the control while still getting a good deal. Keeping it indie!
Jens from Denmark
Keep up the awesome work!! I just bought season 4 from iTunes the other day before it dawned on me that it is completely available to watch free online..heheh. Duh! Hopefully the money will find its way to you.
The show is just great! It leaves me reminiscing about days gone by….days spent dialing up to a BBS board to chat and play Illusions then getting together as a group each week. Good times. 
woww i love’d the guild… couldn’t stop watching till i seen em all. the character you play on it is quite literally a female me haha. just a little bit of a crush now (i wonder how zaboo got all that info) lol
1) The Guild is amazing.
2) You’re a fantastic actress.
The Guild is so true on many levels. I feel like I connect with each character, even if it is just a little bit. It is truly fantastic. I wish there was writing of this quality on American Television, but we all know that that isn’t the case. Maybe you should write an MMO Sitcom or something, American television needs decent writing.
when season 5 i so cant wait
Yes! I do want to date your avatar! I’ll pick you up at 7:30. How does dinner, a movie, and an all-nighter (gaming session of course) sound? Saw your human version 1.0 at Comic-Con and I almost dropped you a ‘hello’, but figured it might upset all of the geeks waiting for hours to get your autograph. I don’t wait in line for anyone…unless it’s to see the next season of The Guild!
Have fun Felicia and thanks for making a fun show about the gamers.
Oh how I would enjoy having lunch with you. The Guild is super funny and keeps me giggling! Veronica kicks ass you’re my follower! ;D
I stumbled upon the Guild on Netflix, being a gamer-at-heart I thought I’d watch the show. To my suprise, I really enjoyed watching the show. The the Guild’s website is bookmarked and I’m now looking forward to the new seasons to come. I died laughing when Clara was getting revenge over not getting the orb by killing Vork incognito. There is some much of the show that leaves me rolling in laughter.
I was looking for a funny show to watch between classes, someone mentioned The Guild as an aside and my gamer honor required me to investigate. I ended up skipping class to watch season four, it is too hilarious to stop watching. Great show, brilliant, an instant favorite. Thank you.
Felicia,
I stumbled on “The Guild” this weekend and watched all four seasons! Not really being much of an online gamer (I belong to the pen-and-paper D&D generation — oops, I’m probably dating myself here …), I always tried to imagine what the day-in-the-life of an MMORPGer could be. “The Guild” helps fill in the blanks, with a funny twist and a good dose of theatrics. I was entertained! Kudos.
Best wishes on season 5. Luck is one of the chief ingredients of success. And you have loads of it, not to mention great talent, plus a supportive group to work with. If things can get any better than this, then I wish you more power and hope that you take your show, your “baby”, to higher heights.
– Dennis
Felicia,
It was great to see you and some of the cast at the Barnes and Noble event last night here in LA. I really enjoyed the event and look forward to the next one. If you remember, I was the guy who asked you to comment about the unique distribution model for The Guild and how it was a topic of conversation here at work. I forgot to mention that I also host an internet radio show about young people in Hollywood, and we would love to have you on as a guest if you would like. Feel free to contact me anytime.
-Nick
The Guild is insanely addictive and hilarious, I’m an avid gamer myself, from RTS, to FPS, to MMORPGs. Watching you guys in the guild I could not help stop laughing as I saw myself and my friends on teamspeak yelling at each other in-game. It was like looking in a mirror, your allusions to the gaming world is something we can all relate to and extremely enjoyable. I’ve never been really into watching online but I cannot bring myself to stop, unlike what I say about most of my games(to my rl friends of course) I truly am addicted to The Guild. Hoping to see a lot more in the future! Thank you to the entire Guild cast for their time and effort to come together to make an amazing series.
I like to call myself the world’s oldest gamer. I am sure there are others out there older, but they don’t admit it. When I was going into blockbuster to rent shooters and rpg for X-Box, the guy behind the counter said, “Uh, we don’t get many guys your age renting these kind of games.” Then I learned of WOW from my son. He warned me of its addiction and that it causes divorces or breakups. So I installed it in my wife’s laptop and I don’t have to worry when I am questing up til 2 AM; she is right beside me casting spells! Try mentioning WOW in a group of age 60+ people and see the totally blank expressions, LOL.
Anyway, I stumbled across The Guild and became instantly enamored. I love technology so I realized the efforts by you and your fellow gamers to put out such a great video. Your story lines are well thought out and the characters stay true to their nature over all the seasons.
My thanks for doing such a great job. I will follow your other projects with great interest.

I was a gamer, ahem, before college that is. I found The Guild on Netflix and watched the first two seasons straight through. I was thrilled when the third season came out, and I am in the process of making my significant other watch the fourth one with me (my third time). Other than my full hearted support for your continued efforts, I would like to say the Zaboo eating his watch thing was neat and I lol’d. Wield your creative control girl!! P.S. Please come to Albuquerque sometime
Codex,
Will you marry me?
Its not like you have anything else to do?
-Truck Driver
Felicia, the least you could do is encourage her.
Im just saying. . .
I discovered this jewel only two days ago… And now I’m at the end of season 3!
It’s an amazing work, made with passion, enthusiasm and intelligence. You can feel it everywhere in the show, and I find it… I don’t now, kind of refreshing. And inspiring, too.
I have to admit that I’m not into online gaming, I’m a happy singleplayer, and yet I could really enjoy every situation, every dialogue, nothing wuas unaccessible to me. That can only mean a good writing, imo.
So, the only thing I can say is: go on Felicia, ’cause you’re very, very goog in what you do!
(I hope my English was good enough to be understandable…)
Hej out there
I think it all stared with “do you want to date my avatar”! This song completly smashed me…and than I found this web show of you guys….and I got smashed once again!!
I’m have been playing WoW since one year now (because of my cousin) and I like it still
I just love the way you connect those WoW-language with the real world in your conversations! A fantastic and brilliant idea making such a web-show
I really appreciate your guy’s work and I wish you the best for the future! Can’t wait for season 5 ;D
Greetings from Germany
Just discovered this show and have watched it pretty much religiously every night – it has totally taken over my normal TV viewing – I even stopped watching The Walking Dead (which is saying something). Personally, I would have made changes to Series 3 – it would have been me dating Felicia Day instead of Wesley Crusher, but…
…that aside, I LOVE your show, please keep the quality coming and remember that we don’t all own Xboxes, so a web-end version of Season 5 would be nice. After all, I paid Microsoft many dollar pounds for the operating system that runs my laptop, so the least they can do is feed my insatiable appetite for more Guildy goodness
Felicia your show is an inspiration to others about the power of the human spirit…and the overwhelming power of the MMORPG seduction techniques. I finally bought all 4 seasons of “The Guild” and the “Dr. Horrible” DVD as well. i wish i was able to pick up the DVD versions of “The Legend of Neil”. I really thought you were hilarious as the fairy. I am durifully following the progress of season 5 of “The Guild” until i get to see the first episode of it. Can’t wait to see the shenanigans that happen to The Knights of Good at the gaming convention…hope to see the return of Fawkes…possibly with a couple of braces or even a cast from the beatdown he got from Jeanette at the end of season 4. Please keep up the MOST EXCELLENT work.
Just a quick addition to my last post…
My favorite character in the whole series is Dena…Vincents sister is an amazing actress i hope to see her continuing to give Bladezz hell.
What a fantastic show!! Thank you and thanks to everyone there for working so hard on making “The Guild” the amazing show that it is. I would love to see this as a weekly show, i understand the niche might seem small but i think there are more gamers out there each day. Now to replay witcher or download rift…hmmm
hi, just want to know if theres a season 5.
A friend just pointed me to your creation, The Guild. I watched all 4 seasons back to back this afternoon
Absolutely great work there, you and your cast/crew really deserve to have even greater success than it already has now. I’m really looking forward to season 5.
Well, best wishes and keep up the awesome job. You really have so much talent and umm… you’re a hot gamer girl to boot, really can’t go wrong there. haha
Seriously?!? Seriously?!? On Watch the Guild website swear words are bleeped. If you didn’t want us to hear them then why write them? Also I can’t figure out how to see episodes before episode 8. Thumbs down on the new website.
Seriously?!? Seriously?!? Episodes of The Guild are now bleeped on your website. If you didn’t want us to hear swear words than why did you write them? Also only the last 4 episodes of each season are shown. I don’t see any clear way to access earlier episodes. Thumbs down on the new website.
MSN bleeps the videos, YouTube does not, but we have to embed MSN for the duration of the new season. That video thing is clearly a glitch we need to address, sorry for the inconvenience.
There’s nothing wrong with the website, you can access the previous videos using the arrow buttons on either side of the video menus. Personally though , I think the only season that is at all different due to the bleeping is Season 3, Axis of Anarchy is full of angry people.
Great show! I couldn’t get enough. Wish there were more episodes. Hope you can take it a lot further. Too bad it had to start censoring language.
It’s the 26th and where is the Season opener? Behind a Microsoft firewall until Thursday.
Well… so much for the web and its triumph over the mainstream.
Long Beach Convention Center huh? Spent some long weeks on that show floor and somehow those memories and this capture by the ‘softies seem…. about right. Sigh…..
Not blaming the Guildies. That’s the biz. Same as it ever was.
This is the best show ever. I think I stumbled onto it a year after my 3 year wow addiction. I laughed SO HARD and no one around me knew why it was so funny… Thanks for the priceless nostalgia and endless nerd references!
Cheers for your success. The Guild is one of the best show I have ever seen (slightly better than Band of Brothers, and slightly more violent, too).
I agree that Lord Bolio should not only come back, but have some major part in the show. After all, he fits perfectly a real model of player that actually is not portrayed in the game guild.
PS: I personally know 2 women that act as Clara, forgetting to feed their babies because of ongoing raids!
well never actually posted on a site (other then fb) :-p but i had to stop by and say (after watching seaon 5 just now) that you guys are all doing a great job (althought the episodes are way to short), and also Felicia day if you read this i have never seen a women that is more beatifull then you are im shur your married by now but if you ever get lonley e-mail me some time (and wow that was weird to just throw out there and no im not some creepy internet stalker this is first and only time ill ever try something like this) well good luck!
The Guild: Series Five is not available on the UK Xbox Live Marketplace! D: Now I’m going to have to watch it on my computer, which involves effort. I HOPE YOU’RE HAPPY. Haha jokes jokes, I love the Guild. Keep churning them out and I’ll keep watching. I don’t even play MMORPG’s, but if you fancy a game of Gears of War 3, I know a way in which you can turn the gore effects off! Cheers, Dan
I didn’t think a web series could be this good or funny. You are truly a witty and creative writer Felicia! I relate (a little too much) to Codex and the kind of gamer stereotypes that are portrayed ring a little too true! I laughed so hard at Vork, he truly is the archetypal guild leader stereotype and stole the show half the time. Zaboo was almost like my first boyfriend, it creeped me out but was so damned funny! I really hope there will be a Season 6! It seemed the show was all wrapped up nicely at the end of Season 5 but there are so many potential new plots and disasters!
i came across theguild when i saw the preview of the dragon age web series that your working on, i noticed there was a show called theguld that was already out…..i watched it…….i loved it i see so much of myself in alot of the characters. this is a really great show with a perfect cast!
i cant wait for season 6!
I just dicovered “The Guild” last night, stayed up till 2am watching first couple seasons and then finished watching the rest today. I used to play WOW so can relate to the story and charicters and Felicia I must say it was great! I wish each episode was a little longer but other then that wouldnt change a thing. Because of it im gonna have to check out some of your other projects,just hope im not disapointed now due to high expectations lol. Looking forward to a season 6…..almost makes me want to get back into WOW……almost……..
I love this show. I don’t play any MMO’s but this puts so many of the people I have met and associate with in a nutshell. I love nerds and waiting in line at Gamestop for releases. The Guild is an amazing show, the writing is so clever and definitely reaches out to the gamer. Felicia Day has more talent in her violin playing pinky than I have in my entire meat-bag of a body! .
I too just discovered the guild, in the past few days…I have no idea how I missed this until now, I would say my two favourites characters are Codex and Vork. Hoping for season six next year.
Felicia, I just stopped by here on a surf after catching your later episodes of the guild. I had seen your first season very early and I said, WOW this is WAY to clever, sweet and generally fun in a humorous but insightful way to NOT just blow up. And of course it did. I am so glad you have benefitted from your work. As I am sure you still know even now, that Show business is an extremely competitive and daunting business. I love it when a woman who is attractive but not a bimbo creates success for herself by creativity, focus, hard work and therefore she is able to truly have many more choices for herself as well as being a model of a well adjusted non bimbo actually getting some adjulation and red carpet time. So, Congratulations, I so hope you continue to find ways to make a living doing things you really enjoy and care about. I also hope that you represent the Geek, fantasy Reading, but actually quite varied and normal community with humanity, humor and insight.
Congratulations again, and Cheers, Rob
PS I am incredibly envious that you are email friends with Patrick Rothfuss, I read the Joe Abercrombie books and liked them, But Patricks books are simply on a whole different level to me.
…just saw the last episode,…and I started Monday with the show,…
I really love it! Great work and so scaring real at times…
Well, bravo Felicia….
…and please keep it on,…I am looking forward to see much more in the future from you…
By the way I also love the Dr. Horrible show…
…can’t wait to see the next Episode and obviously the season finale…
Please! Include the link to the episodes 2, 3, 4… with subtitles in spanish… (or at least in english).
Congratulations! Thanks!, it’s so funny!
My saturday was spent watching Season 1 – 5 of The Guild. I can’t believe I’ve only just come across this! Loved it. And like others I’m hoping that season 6 will eventuate soon?
[...] [...]
I love The Guild,I really wish for a 6th Season
Great post. I was checking constantly this weblog and I am impressed! Extremely helpful info specifically the final part
I deal with such information much. I was seeking this particular information for a long time. Thank you and good luck.
my hubby found ‘the guild’ some time ago and we ended up watching the entire season one he’ll be ecstatic when I tell him there is a season 2 lol
glad you stuck to your guns
to many ‘big companies’ have gobbled everyones rights so only they make the $$ not why your doing it … glad Xbox seen it your way 
I’d like to compliment you on how you started the guild from basically nothing and made it an awesome, original and relatable web-series. Perhaps not all the “irl drama” but certianly all the aspects of gaming and raiding, + the gaming jokes are hillarious:)
Keep up the good work.
Bring on Season 6!

Felicia… In a time when people like the Kardashians, or the entire cast of Jersey Shore, actually get payed to do what ever it is they do. It’s good to see someone become famos for the right reasons (they actually have talent). Allthough you really are very pleasing to the eye, that’s not all there is to you, and that’s so much cooler that just the looks thing by itself. Anyway, I hope you continue to enjoy makeing The Guild as much as your fans enjoy watching it. Looking forward to a s6!
Magnificent web site. A lot of useful info here. I?m sending it to several pals ans additionally sharing in delicious. And obviously, thanks in your sweat!

I have to say its wierd. I just watched for the first time the Guild. It looks like my real Guild. Scary. The characters are so close to real life I thought you were picking my brain. Knights of Good, Codex. vs. Order of the Paladin, Johnthebapt.
We have a Tinkerbella, but she is actually more like Clara. Vork looks and acts like his character, sad its my brother in law. Oh, and Tinkerbella is married to a Pharmisist. Freaky but I still love it and watch over, and over. You need to go to the GAME CONVENTION.
Thanx Felicia for tapping into my real life, sad though it may be.
Priest Power!!!
Wish you were single.
For some reasons I just discovered The Guild only a few days ago but I’m already addicted to it ! That’s really funny and smart too, plus it talks about gaming which is cool
. Now I can’t wait to see the next seasons of The Guild and the next works of the very talented Ms Felicia Day.
.
Too bad though the DVDs can’t be found on europe websites (I am french, sorry for my english mistakes by the way, and couldn’t find it at Amazon.fr neither at .co.uk) but wathever, of course that didn’t stop me because i’ve seen somewhere (and hope it’s true lol) that you had the brillant idea to make the DVDs region free. Thanks for that

I am really inspired along with your writing talents and also with the format in your weblog. Is this a paid topic or did you modify it your self? Anyway keep up the excellent quality writing, it’s uncommon to peer a nice blog like this one nowadays..
Sea-son Six! Sea-son Six! Sea-son Six!
…and more Dragon Age videos!!
…and I promised my wife for Valetine’s Day it would all hopefully probably likely happen!

Divorces Really takes forever and have a high court cost.
I can honestly say that you and the guild are two of the greatest things to happen to the web for ages.
Really loved dragon age, why are you so like able???
I just found “The Guild”. Hilarious ! The writing and actors (editors, etc) are fantastic. Comic genius ! Thanks
Just watched the Guild the second round. It just so great!! Although, I have never played a game in my life, I admit, but my family does, husband, kids…
You can’t just stop at 5 seasons, you need at least 12 before the magic dies. Besides, the commentary in guild chat is growing stale, I think you’re obligated to make it interesting again. None of that geek & sundry hullabaloo, we want the guild!
I was just wondering, has anyone translated subtitles into danish for all five seasons of The Guild?
I know I am way behind the times. But just found “The Guild” on Netflix. Being a fan, I had to watch it all darn near in one sitting. Not being a gamer, I thought at first I would be lost. But as it happens, my sister & nephew are total game-addicts, and I got all references and was able to follow dialogue with ease. The characters really crack me up, and I must say Well Done Felicia! And a hearty Well Done to all cast! I love the show, and truly hope I can continue to see new installations in the future. Clever & Brilliant!
LOVE THE GUILD!
Whe is there gonna be a sixth season?!

I absolutly LOVE the guild. I absolutly LOVE Felicia Day! I hope you do season 6 for the Guild but I have liked all your other projects so far too. Thanks for all the hard work you put into it
I have to say, at first glance I did not have any interest in “The Guild.” So one night, a couple of days ago. Well I was drooling over Guild Wars 2 Pre-Purchase. I said maybe I should give it a shot. All I can say, is my life is almost complete now! So keep up the great work!!!! I could go on and on, about all the awsome shows you are doing, from Tabletop, to DR. Horrible Sing along blog. I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Kept seeing The Guild on Netflix, and I didn’t watch it until a week or so ago. It was awesome. Prompted me to start playing WoW again, so I don’t know if it’s a good thing or not. Seriously, keep up the good work. Oh and I didn’t even know you were Tallis from MotA until after I watched The Guild. That was awesome too:)
As the guy above, didn’t watch it until it hit netflix fucking the shit, cleared of 5 seasons in 3 days hope there is a season 6 red is hot
I just got hooked back into the guild a few days ago when I was browsing zune videos in my xbox, I was checking out indie stuff and the title for the show popped up. Ever have your hands do something with your game controller without your brain even having any say over the matter? Well ya it was like that. I watched every episode I could get my hands on some time ago but well, um, LIFE… got in the way. Anywho long and short of it is I just finished season 5 and WOW! (I don’t mean the game) But I hope that’s not the end, I mean I want to see a fellow readhead like me in my favorite web show ever go on for at least… 14 seasons? One for every episode of FireFly.
Dude, I had no idea who you were until I got to the end of season 4 in Eureka. You were great in that. I was sad as hell when you died. So at the bottom of Netflix it suggested The Guild and I read the synopsis seeing it was about games and BAM I watched them all until like three today. That entire thing had my stomach hurting because it was so funny.
I’m a game programmer, designer, animator, and all that stuff. Pretty much everything that goes into a game….everything…I do. I can’t work with people at all, haha…
Anyway, nice to meet you and all that BS.
So, after many months of my best friend Nathan telling me I had to see ‘The Guild.’ I finally caved and had to witness what all of the hype was about. I watched the first Season pretty impressed, laughing hysterically, and hooked on a new show. I’ve now made my way to season 5 after a two night marathon, when it hit me. I had a similar experience as your character from ‘The Guild.’ I actually had a real life Zaboo follow me to my house after hanging out for one night as friends! Of course, it ended in the same manner and no harm no foul. I can even relate many of my friends to the guild characters. So, I just wanted to say you make me proud to be a chick gamer. Thanks for all that you’ve done!
I just wanted to say you’ve done a great job with all your various projects! The Guild is my favorite. The music videos you all produce are amazing/hilarious. ~ I really am hoping for a season 6 of The Guild!
Just finished watching every season of the guild and I must say you made me long for the days when I spent hours online playing WoW…I don’t get to play mmorpgs any more due to (of all things) the real world work family that whole thing.. Any way Just thought I’d swing by and gush about how awesome your show is I got a head ach from laughing so hard..you are my gamer girl personified and I hope to one day meet a nice women just like you…keep up the awesome work and just do 2 things for me 1) stop and get some rest more often we need you out there living the life we all wish we had so no more sickness!!! 2) make sure to all ways have fun with every thing you do It really is the most important thing in all of life!!!
Ey…I came across your ‘baby’, the Guild, a few weeks ago on NetFlix…background, I’ve been a sci-fy head for decades and love fantasy…NF popped Guild up on choices…I bit…you, my dear, are some kind of mindmeld psychic. The dialogue you put down just continually rang my bell…like, um, me-oh-my-oh Jedi mind tricks sliced nicely with Spock-a-fied intelligence.
I’m a netizen but not in your generation so I’ll have to cast about for the seasons past season one, and some of your other work…guess you have a new, older fan…I don’t DO ‘fan’ very easily so I gulp a bit on saying that…keep up the wonderful and insightful delving into yourself and your creativity!
Peace,
CPL
Tried to go the official guild website but it yells at me for having IE7 and won’t let me in. Except.. i don’t have IE7, i have IE8. Gonna try again on another computer but that’s frustrating.
Ok, it let me in using ephipany on my linux machine. YAY!
Season 6 ASAP please!
Hey, So I’m having the same problem as Stephani. When I go to the official website it tells me I have IE7 and wont work for me, but I’m using fully updated IE8. I don’t want to upgrade to 9, it’s horrible (and I don’t want to use another browser, I like IE8).
I think they’re just letting that website die. The new forums for Geek & Sundry http://geekandsundry.com/forums/, are pretty active so far.
I’m ashamed to admit it but I kind of couldn’t stand you and wanted to get you killed when playing Dragon Age 2 (sorry). But after watching “The Guild”, I think I found my new role model. You remind me so much of myself (only a hundred times more successful) and even though I usually get jealous and competitive with other women playing video games I appreciate the work you’re doing and creating a good image for us gamer girls
Can’t wait for the the season 6. Just love the series.
i love the guild as a mmo addict of over 3 years this show truely captures the persona of the average gamer but im still hopeing for a season 6
The Guild is my comfort food. I’ll watch and rewatch episodes during melancholy stretches. Of course, I also eat comfort food while watching the guild…so that’s, you know, healthy, right? Doubling up on the comfort, retreating into a coma of warm, happy escape? Probably. That’s probably healthy.
Can you confirm whether or not a new season is going to happen? It would be a shame for it to fade away like that. Come on you can do it!
Thank you for you clever and insightful work. I was brought up with HG Wells and Jules Verne. I can tell you that science, imagination and compassion were the bywords of my generation. Please keep up the good work.

Still the best thing I’ve seen that doesn’t have joss’s name on it. even in reruns. Oh, plus 1 to husbands. PIZZA! is the new shoutout
i love the gild i have known of you for a while now but im so into the guild. i am a video game geek and i love it. but with my parents always gitting on my ass about this and that i dont get to play as much as i want. i totally respect you for making the guild i wish i could act like you and be so involved with making a show i really would love to but im a long way away from anything sadly but hopefully i can make it some day. i wish i could be on the set helping you with the guild i want to contribute to it but i dont have money to donate at the time. i just love what you do and who you are and im so excited to see the new season 6 of the guild i have been wating for weeks. i love everything you do. and btw your bf is so dam lucky.
i found a decent deal on the 360 is this a good price? http://www.viacools.com/xbox/xbox-360-20gb-console/
Love this show – reminds me of my online/real life friends that I have – very funny! Too bad none of them are as attractive as you are Felicia! Super hottie representing all nerds everywhere! LOVE IT!
Favorite show period (on the web or on TV). I love what Felicia wrote above about ‘The mantra “write what you know” is truer than anyone gives it credit for’. My books are all based on a role playing world I lived in for several years, but mine are based on the characters, not the players. Taking it from the players side is far cooler that what I had thought of. The show is relatable and downright genius. Love the show. Thanks again.

Felicia,
One is blessed when their favorite hobby or calling enables them to make a living as well – you are one of those so blessed.

I just found The Guild on Netflix and watched the first five seasons in one week. I giggled the whole way through. There was a little bit of each character that that reminded me of a, er, friend I know. Who games a lot. .
Keep up the good work.
There may be some thing wrong with your RSS feed. You should have a web developer check out the web site.
I recently found The Guild on the internet and came to love it. In my humble opinion, it is the best comedy series, with the best cast and writing, since Seinfeld and The Office. I really enjoy the awkward and innocent Codex and the frugal leader Vork, who would put the late great Jack Benny to shame with his stinginess. My only regret is that I have already watched all of the existing episodes on the internet and, like a good cup of coffee, yearn for more. I believe this would make a great sitcom for television and am surprised that it has not found its way there yet. Thank you, Felicia, et. al., for bringing a smile to my face. Much success, and many happy returns!
Miss Day,
Sorry I am in my 60′s and quite the “geek geezer” and this social media stuff is off the chart. I can not say enough about the body of work that you have done up unto this point and it’s maybe one of the many things that make me want to extent my life as long as life is willing. You are an amazing person with some real social skills that you have worked really hard on developing (I have started to notice some restrains or hold backs you do the more I watch you so that you over come your impulse to be in front and lead) congrats your doing a great job, it will complete you. Restraint is the secret ingredient to success and your learning early. Leading is not easy yet it is most important to one’s personal success but understanding that even tho most people have that impulse (most are not good at it) and that’s what you lead the course for them to get better.
Your wonderful Felicia, Please Prosper and keep an old man alive…..no pressure

Felicia Day, you are incredible/wonderful/inspirational. keep doing your thing. will hope to see you at future dragon cons/cons in general. Way to be the best.
Hi tο every bodу, it’s my first go to see of this web site; this blog carries awesome and genuinely fine material in favor of readers.
Felicia i absolutly loved the guild i even cried when i saw the last episode of season six.
I have been a gamer since ….forever and love mmos EQ,Eq2,wow etc i really get a kick out of all the references and in game lingo you use.
Is the guild really at its end?
Stumbled upon the show one day on youtube…ended up watching all of the episodes within 2 days. Here’s hoping for another season!
Are there any plans to bring out a collector’s edition DVD boxset of The (glorious) Guild in Europe (region 2) or maybe a BluRay (region-free)?
It’s one of my favourite shows ever, and I need to have it. All of it. Now. :3 All shiny and matching and perfect. *_*
Also, MMORPG ladies forever unite!
If, in anyway way, the offer of a personal slave would help to convince you to make a season seven then the offer is there. I’m really tall and relatively strong so I’d happily carry most things and if not, I’m fairly certain I could figure out how to opperate a crane. Not long ago finished my law degree so if you need a free legal advice (although I’d have to take the bar in the states) I basically live in a shed; so no need to accomodate, I’m an out doorsy type (is that how americans say it?). I can happily live off toast; so easily fed. Either way, as I’m sure you’re nagged enough on all sides, thanks for the show, it was truly refreshing.
