As you may have read, Guild Wars 2 is going to be participating at TwitchCon at the end of September. We’d like to feature some of our marvelous Guild Wars 2 guilds right on our big screen at the show!

Here’s what you do to participate:

  • Put together a cool guild recruitment video! Give us about 30 seconds of footage introducing your guild and telling (or showing) players why they want to join up!
    • 30 seconds is optimal. We won’t toss you out of the running if you go 32 seconds, but we want these to be brief but meaningful.
    • Make sure to abide by our Terms of Use and not to use any copyrighted content beyond our own.
  • Place a link on this forum thread that leads to a place where we can view your video.
  • Be prepared to send us a high-res version file of the video, if it is selected.

We will let you know via forum PM if your video is selected and you will need to get us the high-res file as quickly as possible after notification.

It’s that simple!

Now, the timing is short, so get your creative juices flowing and submit a link to your video for consideration here on the forums by Tuesday, September 1.

I’d imagine they want a mix of small and large. Just make it quality.

Exactly right! We’re not concerned about the numbers, but about the quality of the video. And no, we don’t expect professional videos, but nicely and carefully made, enthusiastic videos by passionate GW2 players are always top-notch!

So far we have 2 videos and both are 3 times as long as the requested length. Reading comprehension is clearly not our strong suit. Fun thread though and a great idea to get the community involved.

Hmmmm… sounds really tempting.
How much are you going to hate me if our video is 1:28?

Too much? Okay… what about 0:48 then?

In all seriousness, I can see that 1:28 might be a bit too much if you want somewhere near 0:30. Therefore I hope that 0:48 is not that much of a problem. I have shaved off as much as I could.

When it’s ready™ and approved™ by our guild leaders I’ll post it.

I think that 1 minute 30 sounds more doable according to the two submissions already in tow. If not many submit, I’m guessing there might be more room all in all.

tgieph.8310’s video almost makes me want to join his guild :P

Positively! Great guilds come in all sizes! There’s nothing whatsoever stopping a guild from submitting if it’s small, medium, or super sized!

This sounds great! Our guild (30 members) will try to make something for sure, we have some composers that’ll love creating something just for this!

Terrific. Thanks!

This sounds great. already started emailing guildies for ideas.

Excellent. I find that many guilds have a very talented videographer/editor on board. Maybe you don’t even know it, but what a chance for the guild and for that guild member, right?

Please keep reaching out — I really want to see us featuring a BUNCH of guilds on the big screen!

(And thanks. )

We cannot post a video that has copyright music. Even if you bought a copy of the music, we cannot post it publicly. So best advice: use Guild Wars 2 music or music that you, personally, composed.

Thanks for asking — it’s a good question.

ALL guilds are invited to submit a video for consideration. We’d truly love to feature guilds with every kind of focus or, like mine, a focus on every aspect of the game.

You can be sure we love our game from every angle, and from every angle our guilds represent it well. So we’ll be looking for as broad a variety as possible!

Thank you for these amazing works! Remember, we can accept through September 1st, and I’m told the 30-second limit is… flexible. That doesn’t mean we could accept a “Gone with the Wind”-length recruitment video, but that does mean you’re not locked to a precise half-minute of time.
