The GuildMag team is always open to new individuals who want to become permanent contributors to one of the longest-serving Guild Wars 2 fansites. We’re looking for passionate, dedicated individuals who want to be part of a fun, relaxed fansite on a strictly volunteer basis. Although we pride ourselves on our relaxed and friendly atmosphere where everyone is welcome to share their suggestions and comments, we do work to fixed deadlines with our magazines and many of our blog posts. Therefore, we require a mature level of dedication to your role and expect all team members to give their best. That said, we recognise that this is a fan project and not a demanding employment opportunity, and we’re all here to do one thing: have fun.

Our writers have vast freedom in what they want to write about, and there are often frequent discussions amongst writers on our forum where ideas are bounced back and forth.
