Seasons Greetings!

It's that time of year again. Filled with Black Fridays, snow, families, and cinnamon. For the next month you will hear the Christmas songs over and over again until your ears bleed and most likely hear a few modern artists completely mutilate some of your favorites. Remember that rap version of White Christmas a few years back. Yeah they went there.

All fun and games aside, this season is one to remember, those who will not be sharing the holidays with us this year, embracing the ones that will, and being thankful for those who play a role in your lives. This is a time of family, friends, and companionship. Please take the time to tell someone just how important they are to you, tell a loved one why you love them, and be the friend you wish all your friends to be.

The year is quickly coming to a close and this will be my last Ceannard Notes of the year. I hope this past year has been a great one for you and I hope that you have enjoyed your time with us in 2014. The next year will most likely be a rough one but I truly believe with or without a game to play our family will continue on and be strong through the most adverse year that we've faced in our history. If you decide to try other games, please be sure to keep in touch and share your adventures with us. Just because you don't play what we play doesn't mean you're not part of the Gaiscioch Family. Gaiscioch is not a guild within a game, we are a family that plays games together. When we put Chutes and Ladders away and decide to play Monopoly it doesn't mean we're not part of the family. Just means the landscape has changed. Remember us and we shall remember you.

Timed Based Campaigns

Have a roleplay or social event and don't have objectives to claim? Want to do some strange event that isn't traditionally objective focused? Coming this month you'll be able to start a Timed Campaign which you will add increments of 15 Minutes, 30 Minutes, and 1 Hour. For every hour you spend, it will award 60 fellowship points to your participants. This system can be used for any non-objective based activity.

DoubleUp Charity Event Goes Disney

Traditionally during Christmas time we give thanks to the developers with our CookieZerg however this year I thought it would be best to use that charity time to try to meet our annual goal of 750 stuffed animals for our 3 children’s charities. Additionally Kohls has added some pretty sweet stuffed animals to their system including your favorite Disney characters. For this holiday season we will putting our efforts towards meeting that goal. To participate in this toy drive head over to our Charity Section and choose your charity to support. Then visit their registry on Kohls and ship the product directly to them. You can use your order number to claim contribution for the donations.

Guild Wars 2 News

Family Population On The Rise

Over the past two months we have seen a significant rise in active membership in Guild Wars 2. We've gone from 312 active members to 447 active members and are approaching the cap rapidly. Activity within the family has also gone up close to 30%.

Now 50% Off Until December 7th  

If you're looking to get involved with the family’s Guild Wars 2 side now is the time to score a copy of the game for $19.99. To assist new players in learning the game we have some new player friendly events planned for Saturday Mornings that cover entry level zones, wvw, and the basics of the game. These events will be great for leveling up characters.

Elder Scrolls Online News

ZeniMax Online Prepares 1.6 For Testing

The last patch of the year is preparing to hit the test server. From my visit in October this patch should include many animation improvements, weapon skill rebalancing, and add a more responsive combat system into the game. I am really crossing my fingers for a few of the line items I presented to make the cut. The good news is we're one step closer to the 1.7 Patch which will either be the Imperial City or the Cops & Robbers system which should bring some fresh play to the mix which this game really needs right now.

Population Update

At this point our population is well below minimum requirements however I will be keeping the branch open until a seed potential has a greater interest than Elder Scrolls Online in hopes that ESO can recover before that day comes to bear. Keep in mind there are no seeds lined up at this point and it's looking like mid-2015 for the soonest possibility. That said, if we can't raise our attendance during our major family event (wednesday currently) over 20 people, we will be retiring that event as we wait for improvements and move it back to Guild Wars 2. We will be finishing the Great Hunts of Cyrodiil event schedule regardless and assess where we stand after it's conclusion.

In Closing

I hope you all have a wonderful holiday season and happy new year. I look forward to next year as a year of exploration and anticipation. Uncertainty can bring excitement and at least we have a stable home with Guild Wars 2 in the mean time. If you haven't picked it up yet, now is the time. It's currently 50% off and will keep you engaged with the family while we wait for a new home to be known. Stay safe everyone and happy holidays!
