Gaiscioch Community Notes Issue 8, 2021

Gaiscioch

Cead Mile Failte!

Welcome to our August edition of the Gaiscioch Community Notes! This summer has definitely been a hot one with temperatures into the 110+ F range across much of the United States. For those of us hiding out in our homes, this gives us plenty of time to enjoy some of the new expansions and games that have landed this past month. 

We saw the launch of Blackwood, ESOs newest expansion, several key updates to Guild Wars 2, the launch of Crowfall and Swords of Legends Online, and the New World beta. If you thought this month was crazy just wait for August. Let's dove into some of that exciting news.

Gaiscioch Extra Life Charity Livestream

Just a few more months until the 2021 Gaiscioch Extra Life Charity Livestream! We're raising money for the Children's Miracle Network by hosting a massive 3-day Livestream Event packed with prizes, entertainment, and events for all to enjoy.

New Leadership System Online

Over the past month, I've managed to squish all the bugs and get the new leadership & fellowship system online. Here is an overview of the major changes

Adventure System Rebuild In Progress

My goal is to have everything done by November's Gaiscioch Community Conference. The big areas still needing work are the Adventure Pages. These will be replaced with a more Hub design that allows Adventure Managers to add details about the game as needed.

Inside the Family

Gaiscioch Family Patreons:

Want to give a special shout-out to those members who are helping enable our community to do great things. Their financial support has allowed us to expand the tools at our disposal and maintain the community without burning a hole in my personal savings. While a still do pay a bit out of pocket their contributions have prevented me from having to work side gigs to keep us afloat and for that, I am eternally grateful. It's at a manageable level I am comfortable with. Without these Patreons, you'd be seeing a lot less of me. Thank you for keeping me in-game and focused on growing our community.

Popular Adventure:
Conqueror's Blade

Season 8 is off to a solid start

Believe it or not, our house is currently sitting in 5th place. We've managed to secure a good chunk of land and have protected it from invaders every single war. This has not been your typical night in the field of watch nothing happen for an hour. Almost every single territory war this season, we have been entrenched in all-out war fighting on multiple fronts.

House Meeting Saturday July 31st at 2PM PT

We haven't gotten together as a community in a while and I felt it's a good time to pull everyone together and discuss our mission as a community with everyone. I know we've seen some departures of late but I want to make sure we stick to our original goal and mission as we move forward. I feel we need to get together to discuss the big overlaying objective and the finer points of how we as a community function.
