Céad Míle Fáilte
(One Hundred Thousand Welcomes)
Welcome traveler, I would like to welcome you to the humble home of the Gaiscíoch (Pronounced: Gosh-Kia) Family and Tuatha Social Gaming Community. Our family began as a social gaming community in the industry pioneering MMORPG Dark Age of Camelot. We began on the Nimue server on November 11th, 2001, with a focus on creating a fun and enjoyable community for players of all ages and skill levels.
The Gaiscíoch takes it's name from the Irish legends found within the "Cét-chath Maige Tuired", "Lebor Gabála Érenn", and "Cath Maige Tuired" which chronicles the first people of Ireland the Tuatha de Danann. Specifically the First Battle of Moyturna where the Tuatha de Danann hand-picked the most honorable and loyal warriors to fight along side the Celtic gods in a battle against the Fir Bolg. These Warriors were known as the Gaiscíoch.
With our roots firmly attached in the Celtic Mythological Cycle, the Gaiscíoch hold honor, respect, integrity, and fellowship close to heart. Our events are open to the public and guild membership is never required.
Today the Gaiscioch Social Gaming Community consists of 370 active members across 19 countries. In the past month they have hosted 229 public events across 101 games. We actively publish our own digital gaming magazine, daily livestreams, and host an annual charity event.
We are a social casual gaming community with a relaxed approach toward gaming. We allow our members to play how they want, when they want, as long as they want, and do not constrict them with quotas or requirements. It is through gaming, athletic competition, and social interaction that we forge new friendships and relationships.
Our large scale chapters help support game communities through open activities and information sharing.
Our small-to-medium sized adventures allow members to explore new worlds with friends.
These titles are on our Watch list for inclusion in our Chapter and Adventure lineup.
Gaiscioch plays host to some of the largest public community events in MMORPG space.
Our system encourages interaction, sharing, and building lasting friendships.
Our community is built in a way that any player can choose to lead events and activities and climb the warlord ranks. Leaders gain a full range of tools to help them organize, lead, and track their victories on the battlefield.
Members can attend activities planned by leaders to gain Honor Points and Vault Credits. Each time a member participates they gain currency that allows them to buy crafted goods, materials, or even games.
Our calendar is packed with scheduled events for each of our chapters. In addition to the scheduled events, there are unscheduled pickup events that happen every day.

Our Tavern is filled with over a decade worth of history and discussions. Discussions range from in game to real world life challenges.
Gaiscioch uses Discord as a voice communication provider. While voice communication is optional, we encourage all to listen in and be an active voice in the community.
Each month upon request, the Gaiscioch Family Notes is sent to your inbox filled with information about the community to help you plan your months activities and stay connected with the community.
Order new items for our chapter games or fill a work order for a crafted item or material. At the marketplace you can buy items and materials using Vault Credits.
What could be better? Playing games to earn new games. Our loot vault is filled with game codes donated by players and game studios. Use Vault Credits to score a new game for your library..

Players earn a unique rank based on their gender, family rank, warlord rank, and length of time they've been active with the community giving each and every member a unique title within the community.
Gaiscioch is approached by game studios constantly to share their feedback and testing ability with their studio. As a Gaiscioch you can join the Pioneer team and help make better games.
We go above and beyond to help provide knowledge and make experiences memorable.
