The Guild

The Guild is an American comedy web series created and written by Felicia Day, who also stars as Cyd Sherman (AKA Codex). It premiered on YouTube on July 27, 2007, and ran until 2013. The show revolves around the lives of a gamers' online guild, The Knights of Good, who play countless hours of a fantasy MMORPG video game referred to as The Game. The story focuses on Codex, the guild's Priestess, who attempts to lead a normal life after one of her guild-mates, Warlock Zaboo (Sandeep Parikh), shows up on her doorstep.

In 2007, the first season debuted on YouTube. Seasons 2–5 debuted on Microsoft's Xbox Live Marketplace, Zune Marketplace, and MSN Video. Seasons two through five were eventually made accessible on the Guild's official website, YouTube, and iTunes. After season five, Microsoft's business model changed, according to Day; Day wanted to retain control, therefore the episode premieres were relocated to Day's YouTube channel Geek & Sundry.
