I know I'm late on this, and I have to make it short, but basically the guild was one of -if not the- first place(s) that allowed me to be myself. I have talked to really, really amazing people here, and I wouldn't trade them for anything. Mahz is a cool dude, always doing his best to keep the guild up to date and fixing the bugs and what-not. That's way more than I can give other site creators.

On top of that, RPG has taught me that it is quality over quantity. I used to stress so much about meeting other peoples posts, but then I realized that it doesn't matter how mush you write, it's what you write. RPG has also challenged me to be a better writer at the same time.

You guys are an AMAZING group of people. Sure, we can all be a little asshole-ish at times, but, eh. We wouldn't quite be the dysfunctional family that we have come to be if we weren't, right?

Ahhh, the guild.. THE GUILD! One of the few...I think the only place I'm still not banned from yet among tens of other video games, forums and other role play sites.

Hell, I spent a week subtly trying to get myself banned because I felt frustrated how I wasn't getting banned here.
Very understanding and tolerating people :)
I'm officially reformed now.
Shout out to the douches/ banned people/Chinese furniture spammer bots/Chinese gambling sites spamming bots and to that one actual Chinese guy who made an actual role play fully in Chinese. Could've fooled me if it wasn't for google translate. I think it was an RP about school life...

I've encountered many wonderful writers, some of which I am still in contact (even off-site) to this day. This site saw me through some troubling times as a teenager. I learned to be a better writer with the aid of many fellow roleplayers. I remember barely being able to scrounge together a few sentences and now I can string together several hefty paragraphs without much issue. This site has helped me foster my love for writing and also my love for working with fellow writers. It's inspiring to be able to create something with someone else; to see characters and worlds grow in ways I alone couldn't imagine. I also improved my graphic design many moons ago and I loved helping fellow users have neat signatures/avatars. Overall, the Guild has been a great place to invest my time and as someone who wound up majoring in Creative Writing, I am very proud and privileged to be here and see things continue to progress.

Thank you Mahz.

It’s been around four or five years since I joined this site – a short time compared to some, but I’ve really cherished it all despite the setbacks and hurdles, the drama and anxiety, and the failures and issues. For me, it’s been the most valuable site I’ve written on in this communal hobby of ours and I’m glad I’ve stuck with it. Looking back on everything I realize I’ve become a better writer as a result of the people I’ve met and the stories I’ve participated in and I really wish I would’ve joined the site sooner than I did.

That's a pretty lucky number there - happy 10th anniversary!

I am glad to be part of this site's community, encountering various RPers and have fun writing with y'all, with wonderful people I can shamelessly share my love for writing and work together to build many awesome universes.

Thank you guys - you know who you are. ;)

Maybe in another 10 years I'll actually finish a roleplay, am I right boys?

I am happy to be part of this. Approaching the ten year anniversary of this i wish i had heard of this place earlier. Only being here three weeks I think i am still a newbie here but i hope i can contribute to this site to the best i can!

This is upsettingly accurate.

What the heck is dank copypasta?

I can't remember how I found this site to be honest with you guys. All I remember is the feeling of desperation as the Swedish site I used to be on disappeared (it was shut down by complaints from parents due to spammers with nsfw content and since most of us on there were like 12-16 and they couldn't get a grip on the problem they pulled the plug on it). So there was this desperation because roleplaying was all I had, it was what kept me going during a severe period of depression in my teenage years and someone had yanked it out from under my feet. I Think I just googled, for hours, until I found this site and it looked pretty neat and I gave it a go and here we are.
Mahz, thank you so much for this community, I may not be as active here as I'd like but I'm still grateful it exists whenever I remember to log in. You did well, buddy!

The Guild is like a second family to me. I've met so many amazing friends on here and I love all of them to pieces. I fondly recall the days of IRC when we played Cards Against Humanity and Truth or Dare together, and laughed at each other when we got on Skype or TinyChat and found out that not all of us sound exactly how others expected us to.

In addition to meeting some amazing friends, I also met my incredible boyfriend through the Guild's IRC, and we have the cutest kiddo in the whole world, so thanks. You guys are the best.

I know I am waaaay late for this but I've been here since that time as well. The guild was my first forum, and my last. No where actually competes with the family feeling you get while here. I have so many memories and good times here. The guild literally saved my life a few times way back in the day when life was rough. Here I was able to become the best version of myself and learn and grow in my writing.

Although I disappear because of life, always come back. Thanks Mahzkreig @mahz for sacrificing your time and energy so we can have a second home.

It was like 2 years ago. And @Spud had posted his introduction post to the guild.

And all of us just posted pictures of french fries and mutilated potatoes... honestly just rofl'd at some of them. Good times.

I remember that, I took a part in the festivities multiple times.

I dunno if I should be flattered or horrified ya'll remember ...
Uh ... not sure how to break it to ya after two years of having no clue but um ... @AbysmalDemon@Tyler Night I'm a girl ... and I was also a girl two years ago! You're welcome for the confusion though.



Oh, I read some of the other posts, so here goes, buckle up bitches, it's time to get sappy!!!

I was here before guildfall, after guildfall I was ... well, kind of sort of devastated to have "lost" all those old characters and stories, so I scurried away for a while, RP'd on other sites like a dirty little mistress ... but ... I crawled back to the RPG phoenix, risen from the ashes, and begged to be taken back ... And it's been great.
The funny thing about Guildfall is, looking back, I was sad but after a "break", I couldn't help but come back and it was cool to have a fresh start. In the brief time away, I decided to up my RP game when I came back. Then lots of IRL shit happened and honestly ... RPG was a great escape, I think it kept me sane in times when life and expectations tried to kill my creativity. Even though I don't RP much these days, the status bar is enough to keep me coming back.

RPG isn't just a home to stories ... it's a home for characters, and I'm not talking about OC's, I'm talking about the people who write them.

I love you bastards. Baguettes ...

Thanks for tolerating my shit.

@Spud Fuck I just assumed your gender..... damnit.

<3

@AbysmalDemon Its cool bro, I'm chill af, you can call me dude, I'm not about to pull a #triggered attack on you ... truth be told I'm incredibly unladylike so I don't blame you. Continue to assume I have HUUUGE muscles and a giant ween- whaaaaaat ... fine I won't say it, but I know you're thinking it anyway >:]

Hahah alright cool!

I find the guild very special to me. Its thanks to this site that I was able to expand my horizons and learn news ways of role playing with many people from all over the world. If it wasn't for this site I would have lost all inspiration for writing and role playing by this time. Though my beginning memories will always belong to the old guild, this new site has given me many new and fun memories that will stick to me forever and ever. Thank you @Mahz for creating such an amazing site!
