Gaiscioch Community Notes Issue 11, 2022

Gaiscioch

Cead Mile Failte!

It's been 21 years since 8 random strangers that had never met before banded together to create this legendary community. With a simple mission of being an inclusive community where players from all walks of life and skill levels can find a place to belong. While we aren't the guild for all, we are family for many. 

November marks a very special month for us. Not only is it our community's birthday but it is also where we put our hearts on public display as we raise money for the Children's Miracle Network Hospitals through the Gaiscioch for Extra Life Charity Livestream Event. Let's dive into the news and get to the good stuff!

Happy 21st Birthday Gaiscioch!

Who would have thought that that little roleplay guild from Dark Age of Camelot would go on to become this. It is proof that one little light in a world of darkness can have a profound effect. We continue to put our best foot forward and be the light in an increasingly toxic world. Those who flock to us find a much different experience than they are used to. One filled with compassion and helpfulness and void of hatred and anger.

2022 Gaiscioch for Extra Life Charity Livestream Event

The schedule has been finalized, developers notified, prizes added, and we're all ready to go for this year's event. We will be going live on Thursday, November 3rd at 11AM PT and be broadcasting every day through the raffle event on Sunday, November 6th at 7PM PT.

A Few Adventure System Changes

With Guild Systems shrinking and the grand scale of games throttling back the massively part of the MMO genre, I felt it best that we lower the threshold of Expedition to 50+ Players. This is the only tier we are adjusting at this point as we still want the Chapter title to be something epic, special, and rare.

Daily Livestream Events Update

As many of you know, over the past 8 years I've provided a window into our community via Twitch Livestream. For many years now I've streamed M-F at 3PM PT various games that I think our community might find interesting. It was always a hard time for people to attend. In addition, it was largely focused on small coop games that could never become anything more than a Warband.

Website Fixes & Improvements

Over the past few months, I have located several bugs with the character management and invite system that I managed to squish. Now when you add your account I'd or a primary character it will automatically add you to the pending invite list. It will hide the request invite link until the invite has been sent.

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.

New Month, New Adventures

Over the past few months, we've focused largely on new player content for our rotation. This month we will resume our full world boss rotation including Tequatl, the Shatterer, and Karka Queen. These high-level bosses offer tremendous rewards and an exciting time for all. In addition, we will take our second WvW event and turn it into the siege of event zones such as Silverwastes, Drizzlewood Coast, or Dragon's End. Our goal will be to rotate through all the areas we need a large group to complete. Come join the fun!

Apparently, Friday is Just Bad Timing for Me

I tried really hard this month but since my wife can't drive yet (since her diagnosis) I have to drive to every appointment and traffic on Fridays in the Portland Metro is insane. All her doctors seem to have appointments open up on Fridays and it has made attending our New World events difficult if not impossible over the past month.

Conqueror's Blade

A Harsh Exit to Anadolou Brings New Opportunity

This past month we had the honor of having 3 alliances muster over 100 people to wipe us off our Anadolou Island. To our rescue surprisingly came the YellowTurbans who not only tried to fight back the SealDynasty invasion but also offered us land to resettle in. It was a surprising turn of events as SealDynasty was our ally last season and YellowTurbans historically liked to poke at us.

Gaiscioch Adventure Schedule for November 2022

Each month we adventure our way through several games. Due to real-life battles, some days have become harder than others to remain consistent and thus I am going to move our most popular adventures to M-W which tend to be the most stable days for me. In addition, I will be pushing them all back 1 hour to allow for more time to get ready.
