The plot focuses mainly on Codex with each episode starting off with her vlog talking about how her life is going. The show starts with her attempting to control her online addiction and her therapist hanging up on her since she refuses to make a change in her life. While raiding the guild relizes that ZABOO, the guild warlock, has not been online in 39 hours. The next momment Codex's doorbell rings and there's ZABOO. ZABOO as it turns out has come to see Codex because he thinks they are dating, to which Codex is extremely surprised. When Codex tells the guild that she has found ZABOO she finds out that the guild has another issue. BLADEZZ the guild rogue has been banned for 24 hours because of spamming fag a few thousand times. Faced with this and ZABOO at her house Codex suggests the guild meet in person since they are a local guild to discuss BLADEZZ and his behavior problems.

The guild decides to meet at Cheesybeards. Once the guild manages to locate each other they find out that Vork, the guild leader, did not invite BLADEZZ to the meeting. While discussing BLADEZZ he shows up at the resturant. BLADEZZ reminds them that Vork had transfered the entire guild bank to one of his alts the previous week. Thus if BLADEZZ was kicked out of the guild they would loose 6 monthes worth of gear, gold and gathered material.
