Default GuildMag - Party Times! Contest, Interview, Cake and more!


Last time we brought you a new website and logo. This time, we've got a redesigned magazine in HTML format! That's right, from now on we'll be publishing our issues in HTML to make it more accessible and faster for everyone to enjoy! What's the occasion? Well, it's our birthday!



In this issue, we treat you to a special surprise, as you can have a chance to win an awesome mercenary hero code for use in Guild Wars! We've also got an interview with Eric Flannum talking about music, dungeons and more in Guild Wars 2 and also ask him some more personal questions!

Of course our own writers came up with new content as well! Like what about an article about cake? We even included a recipe for you to make a Guild Wars cupcake yourself! Then there's also fanfiction by some of our writers who wanted to show another side of themselves. This includes a story about the beginning of GuildMag itself! We chat with Hunter from Hunter's Insight and Actionjack, known for his comic series about Guild Wars 2! We also received a submission about the myriad options for character customization in Guild Wars 2 and as always we also have the God of the Issue: Melandru!

» The GuildMag Story
A fictional look at the beginning of GuildMag
» Let them eat Cake!
Everything about confectionery, both in- and out-game.
» Rise of a Lich, Fall of Gods, Prologue & Chp 1
A fanfiction by Konig Des Todes.
» Mercenary Heroes Contest
Enter to win a Mercenary Hero code.
» Melandru, Tender of the Forests and Fields
A continuation of Draxynnic's series on the human gods.
» Dutch's Talk with... Hunter
We sit down blogging enthusiast Hunter.
» Interview with Eric Flannum
Music, monster diversity, cinematics, dungeons and career.
» An Unheard Tale
A fanfiction by Thalador Doomspeaker.
» Featured Artist: Action Jack
Arghore interviews Action Jack, who is known for his "Can I Play GW2" comic series.
» An Altaholic's Problem With Too Many Options
We're fairly sure some people will recognize themselves in this story.
» End of the Line
The last tidbits.


(There's no need for this line anymore - we've gone HTML! See for yourself! Just click on the link and there you go.)

As always, we're a community driven project so we appreciate all the feedback we can get. If you want to submit your own piece of work you can do so by checking out:

Nice, congratulations on your birthday and on this new formate, you have always been extremely aesthetically impressive but the speed and lagginess of the pdf formate drove one to insanity. This is much more fluid and practical!

I think something went wrong there on our side. We planned to include an upload feature ourselves but since it took away the possibilities of a better contest form, we had to delete that option. Seems like it didn't translate into an edited text.

Let me get back to you in a moment...

EDIT: It's no longer required and we will not be judging on the pictures, so you may include it, but it will not influence our choice.

I have a problem submitting my entry, I click submit but nothing happens and I get a red message saying Only 200 characters are allowed. Is it 200 characters or 200 words?

It should be 200 words, let me check with the designers... I'll get back to you as soon as possible!

EDIT: Ok, I checked and he'll fix it within 15 minutes from now on. (6:40 GMT) Sorry for the confusion!

Yay ^^

And as one of the designers, I like the new format - so much easier to work with on our end, too!

Please don't tell my girlfriend I am going to get a few accounts so I never run out of room for new characters, she already said no.
Only because mine approved a brand new computer and 2 accounts . Good thing she doesn't play or I'd probably have to marry her.

I never cared for the GuildMag, but I miss the .pdf version and it blows all the anti-Adobe hipsters have to ruin everything.

Is that because you'd like to be able to download it, or is it just because you prefer the navigation in adobe? Because I might find a way to let the former still apply for the magazine itself...

Hmm yeah, I heard someone else mention that, I told her that I would look into that during my summer vacation. So I'll see what I can do.

Hmm, well, since it was an error on our side, you can resubmit, but you have to make sure we can see that it's you again.
