The Guild in Second Life on The Copper Robot

What's perhaps most interesting about this interview is that the Guildies all used custom-made avatars to appear in the game. Second Life, if you've never played it, is more of a sandbox MMO than the strict rules and design of World of Warcraft, and players have mostly complete freedom to make themselves look like whatever they want. And so a few fans from a site called World2Worlds actually made some avatars for the Guild folks, and they based them off of the (also fan-made) art of the characters. We've never seen footage of "the game," as the characters in The Guild call it, so this is the first time we've seen these avatars represented in any game. Very interesting. The show has a Flickr group, so if you want to check out more shots of what they looked like in-game (including some nutty Vork antics), check that out as well.

I've never watched the guild, but I have heard good things about it. I think I should get the dvd's now.

Secondlife: weirding me out for almost six years.

Please stop making posts like this to fill up time between T_T
Any reasonably intelligent human being despises Second Life. It is the saddest form of internet entertaiment. Love "The Guild" though :)

Huh, I do believe my complete indifference to all things "The Guild" has finally turned to disgust and loathing.
The Paris Hilton school of overexposing talentless hacks in hopes of making a quick buck strikes again.

Any news on whether a third season is coming up?
If so, when?
I really enjoyed the last two seasons (as did many of my guild mates), hope they keep up the good work.
