Miss. Day has said “We’re thrilled to have the opportunity to bring the first two seasons of The Guild to DVD, by popular demand, The response to the web series thus far has been absolutely overwhelming and the following for The Guild just keeps on growing. We’re so excited to bring these episodes together - both for our tried-and-true fans and those just experiencing the webisodes for the very first time.”
In The Guild; Season One, Cyd Serman, (a.k.a Codex) played by Felicia, has hit rock bottom. Dumped by her boyfriend, sacked not just by her employer, but by therapist too, she drowns her sorrows in the world of online gaming, specificly World of Warcraft. However after a fellow player and guild member, “Zaboo” (Sandeep Parikh), mistakes their in-game ‘winkies’ for real life flirtation, he shows up on her doorstep. Codex brings all the members of her online guild face-to-face - with embarasingly awkward results. Picking up where Season One left off, Season Two finds Codex evicted, after an embarrassingly episode with Zaboo’s mother, and Zaboo shows no signs of giving up on their ‘romance’. As Codex struggles to deal with her issues and advise her ‘Guildies’ on their lives, neighbor shows an interest in Codex. To add to the drama (as if there wasn’t enough) the game’s server is unexpectedly shut down at the end of the series!
All 6 million of us tried-and-true fans, are certainly waiting with baited breath for Season 3!
