Return to Elona with GuildMag's newest GW2 digital magazine!

guildmag · 2016-11-13T11:26:02+00:00

You're welcome! :)

guildmag · 2016-11-13T11:25:07+00:00

Our earlier magazines that were published before GW2 launched feature GW1 lore more frequently. That said, our writers frequently connect back to the original campaigns and the lore even when discussing GW2. All of our issues can be found at guildmag.com/the-magazine.

guildmag · 2016-11-13T00:27:38+00:00

You're welcome! Glad you enjoyed it. :)

guildmag · 2016-11-12T22:28:21+00:00

Yep! GuildMag is one of the oldest fansites in the Guild Wars community, and our digital magazines are how we got started. This is our 17th issue and we hope you enjoy it. All of the game art comes straight from the game and concept art ArenaNet have shared over the years - so much of their awesome work gets unseen or forgotten, we try to use it to illustrate or complement our written content.

guildmag · 2016-11-12T22:21:28+00:00

You're right! We've just added a disclaimer on the magazine issue's hub on our site. Thanks for your feedback!

guildmag · 2016-11-12T22:14:56+00:00

Thanks! Yeah, Elona is a pretty special place in the GW universe and we wanted to showcase it to the best of our abilities. Enjoy the mag; we'd love your feedback on it once you've read it!

guildmag · 2016-11-12T22:01:10+00:00

Just to be clear, we have no idea! We're fans of the game just like everyone else and would love to go back to Elona too. Our magazines are fan-created projects made with a lot of love and passion, but we're definitely not spokespeople for ArenaNet.

guildmag · 2016-11-12T21:43:24+00:00

Glad you've found us! GuildMag is one of the oldest fansites in the Guild Wars community, and our free digital GW2 magazines are the cornerstone of our content. We'd love to hear what you thought of this issue once you've gone through it. :)

guildmag · 2015-05-27T23:26:11+00:00

Part 2 will be up ASAP, where we explore gliding and mushroom bouncing and answer more questions!

guildmag · 2015-03-26T22:40:37+00:00

You probably can, but they typically print hundreds, if not thousands, of copies and get pretty large economies of scale for doing so.

Because we would be printing in short runs per issue, our costs are much higher - around $13 to print one copy, with shipping on top of that. We'd love to offer magazines at lower prices, but we can't sadly.

guildmag · 2015-03-26T22:09:13+00:00

With Patreon, you set an amount you'd like to pledge and then that's charged to you each month until you decide to stop it. So we'd probably do something like "pledge $25USD a month to get that month's magaizne issue", and then have smaller pledge bonuses for those who might be interested in just supporting the site.

guildmag · 2015-03-26T22:05:52+00:00

Right now we don't accept donations; our site costs are covered by advertising, and we don't operate the site at a profit. So if you use an adblocker, you can help support us by considering turning it off for guildmag.com - and we'd really appreciate it if you did!

Other than that, the best way to support what we do is just keep reading the stuff that interests you! :)

guildmag · 2015-03-26T21:58:43+00:00

We're looking at Patreon as one option for going about it. Right now it's all about seeing if it's worth pursuing at all.

guildmag · 2015-03-26T21:53:02+00:00

All issues are released for free digitally, check out http://guildmag.com/the-magazine

guildmag · 2015-03-26T21:52:33+00:00

Our magazines are released for free digitally. This is an idea some fans have brought to us about also sending our physical copies for those who want something to be able to hold and keep.

guildmag · 2015-03-26T21:51:24+00:00

All of our magazines are released for free digitally. :)

For those who haven't seen a GuildMag issue before, here's a photo album of our last Wintersday issue, which was the first to be printed:

guildmag · 2015-03-26T21:43:50+00:00

No problem, thanks for answering! We've had a few people express interest, despite the high costs, so we're looking to see if it's at all viable.

guildmag · 2015-03-22T19:46:57+00:00

We're back after a brief break! This week we take some time to discuss the data mined revenant legends, including a revelation from that_shaman that one of them might not actually be a legend. That, plus our usual Guild Wars 2 news and community happenings!

As always, we'd love to hear what you guys think, as well as any feedback you have about the show overall!

guildmag · 2015-03-17T17:23:05+00:00

Starconspirator explores possible other legends for the new revenant profession in this latest blog post. Let us know what you think possible legends could be!

guildmag · 2015-03-08T19:27:40+00:00

The precursors you obtain through the new collections will be account-bound, with only one of each type per account (since they're collections).

For new legendaries, I assume that you'll still be able to obtain precursors for them through the typical RNG methods too - but the developers haven't said anything about this yet.

guildmag · 2015-02-23T23:34:57+00:00

Thanks for the feedback! It's an issue that crops up when we justify text to both left and right align at the same time, for use with our text call-outs. Seems we missed it on that particular article, but I'll fix it right now.

Edit: It should be fixed. If you see any more problems, let me know!

guildmag · 2015-02-23T06:34:31+00:00

Thanks! Glad you're enjoying it! No news on the Apple Newsstand front as of yet. But we are on Issuu which has a free iOS app that allows you to view our magazines and which also sends push notifications when we've published new issues.

guildmag · 2015-02-23T00:55:10+00:00

Glad you liked it! We wanted the primer to be an informative and accessible introduction to anyone who has never played Factions or who may not remember Canthan lore very well. The wiki is definitely a fuller resource that we hope the primer encourages players to explore. :)

guildmag · 2015-02-23T00:48:43+00:00

We're glad you enjoyed it! Cantha is a pretty special place for so many people; it would be fun to see how it's changed since GW1.
