The cast and crew of
The Guild got invited by Blizzard to come take a tour of
the new facilities the other week, and they have
a writeup on their website right now (written by Jeff Lewis, who plays Vork on the show) of their trip. Sounds like a lot of fun -- they got to
tour the place, obviously, checking out the Hall of Fame, the gym and cafeteria (including
the official "Blizzard Trays" area -- that sign makes me laugh), and the main offices. They also got to sit down and each lunch with Mike Morhaime, and then got to play both
Starcraft 2 and some
Rock Band with the staff. No
Wrath?
Blizzard sent them home with lots of swag, too. I was under the impression, especially
given the comments on our last Guild post, that we weren't really sure that the game these guys were playing was
World of Warcraft -- they've never said the name, as far as I know, and we've never seen any character shots. But Blizzard disagrees, apparently -- they've very sure The Guild is playing WoW, and they gave them a super nice tour for being a part of the game and the community.

The Guild has never been about any specific game the beauty of it is that it could fit to any MMO. Blizzard are probably just being nice. You know they do that sometimes. And besides, I'm sur ethe guild Website gets a lot of hits and now they are showing good PR for Blizzard. It's not that hard. Personally I'd love to have Felicia Day write the WoW movie. I expect it would be like nothing I ever imagined. :D

I know that Felicia Day confirmed at one point that she's a WoW addict.

Check out the fourth podcast of "How I WoW" (http://www.howiwow.org/) ... she used to be a hardcore raider pre-BC, but had to give it up to "have a life".

Not only did she confirm that she was a WoW addict, but also that her first monologue about the advice from her therapist is true.
The podcast may not be expressly about WoW, but there is no denying, with her as the writer, its inspiration is directly drawn from World of Warcraft.

Oh dear - they've been slashdotted. You guys are going to have to start warning the sites you link to, or find someone to create a mirror.

Oh no! You've made a typo!
You said "They've very sure The Guild is playing..."
Should be They're.
Also, Felicia Day is a goddess. Mostly because she played a 'lock... >_>

The only real way The Guild tries to distinguish its game from WoW is they sometimes mention dexterity. However, all fantasy MMORPGs are time vacuums for nerds, right? :)

First 16 seconds of the first video:
"there is a gnome warlock in my living room"
Kinda gives the impression they are playing World of Warcraft. Considering she is referring to "Zaboo" a fellow guild member. L2DoHomework =)
