Gaiscioch Community News April, 2018
- Please Welcome Our Newest Elder: Haggal
A few months ago the Eldership team met and discussed a few new Elder potentials what we wanted to keep our eyes on. We watched and observed how they handled various situation and it just reassured us that they would be perfect for the job. As with all our elders, these members have a natural tendency to put others first and go above and beyond to help others even when it isn't beneficial to themselves. It is with great pride that we announce the addition of Haggal to the Eldership team.

- 2018 Extra-Life Registration Now Open
The 2018 Extra Life Registration is now live. For those just joining Gaiscioch for the first Extra-Life event, every year for the past 7 years we participated in this event in a big way. We have been hosting a multi-day livestream event to raise money for the Children's Miracle Network for the past 5 years. Last year we evolved our event series to include giveaways and turned it into a full scale Public Community Event (PCE).
- Marketplace 3.0 in the works
So over the past month I've been developing a materials auto-pricing system to allow us to rapidly deploy new marketplace systems in our chapters that will balance material costs across all games we play. I've enabled the test in Warhammer Online to see how a small community handles the system and what pitfalls it encounters.

- Coming Soon: Earning Social Points for Watching Livestreams
I've been playing with the idea for a while and have decided to move forward with a plan to allow members to claim their Twitch accounts on Gaiscioch.com and then earn Social Points for watching the streams. Viewers who link their account to Twitch will be given credit watching our streams. In addition members that follow our channel will earn 100 social points. There will be a new Social Adventure known as Twitch where our viewers can discuss the show and get involved. You can even check your Twitch Rank. Our hope is this will help us grow our Twitch presence to help introduce our community to more gamers.
- The Next Chapter Announced!
Explore an all-new zone packed with adventure. Join the mysterious Psijic Order and gain powerful new abilities to aid you on your quest. Reunite with old friends, forge new alliances, and work together to unravel a conspiracy that threatens Tamriel's very existence. The epic saga continues in The Elder Scrolls Online: Summerset on June 5.

- The Tuatha Alliance Resurrected
Our original Warhammer Online Tuatha grew to include over 60 guilds. For Return of Reckoning as there are no custom chat channels we will only be able to grow to be 10 guilds. The first two are Gaiscioch and Gaiscioch T1. We are in talks with several guilds looking to be an extended part of our family. This is a great opportunity for us to get connected with even more people to help coordinate things. Once we have formed the Alliance we will begin using /as (Alliance Chat) as our primary chat channel. Since our guild will span multiple guilds, we will be disabling guild chat for most ranks and require everyone to use /as instead. We did this on live and were very successful bridging the communication barrier. Anyone in our alliance chat is considered family regardless of what guild they are in. Please be sure to keep it family friendly at all times and keep those blades out, not in.

- Guild Progress
Both guilds are progressing nicely. By the time you read this Gaiscioch T1 will almost be level 6 and Gaiscioch will be creeping up on 17, where we will gain access to porting to Sigmar's Hammer in Altdorf. Be sure to logout there as you will earn rested exp faster there than anywhere else. Once Gaiscioch T1 hits rank 6 we will be bringing them into the alliance and can start having new T1 characters join Gaiscioch T1. This room of our house will be entirely focused on leading and participating in Tier 1 RvR. For those of us that rotate characters in Tier 1 this will be your base camp. The ingame Guild Calendar will be used to display upcoming scheduled Tier 1 RvR events, while the Gaiscioch calendar will be used for upcoming scheduled Tier 2-4 activities.

- Tera PS4 Launched!
In a surprising turn of events Bluehole announced that they would be releasing Tera for PlayStation 4 on April 3rd. This announcement followed 3 very rocky beta tests that were overwhelmingly filled with bugs and server issues. This quick of a launch could be catastrophic if they have not sorted out their issues. Regardless, the Gaiscioch have never shied away from a challenge! We will be working our way to opening a GSCH in Tera on the Dracoloth server. It launched for Headstart on the 27th. Discuss the launch at: http://gsch.info/p/241226
- Issue 15 Coming in April
The long overdue Issue 15 finally has a cover story! We are hard at work flushing out the issue. Keep your eyes peeled for the release announcement. This will be our last issue in the current format. After watching the analytics for the past few issues we've noticed we get more reads in the average article publishing it on our site than we do in the actual browsable magazine.

- Migrating to a new Format
This has led us to decide to go straight to web and classify our Issues as Quarters. We will publish content direct to the site as articles come in and each "Quarter" will have an Issue with it's articles grouped together. Each Issue will still be browsable on our website for easy access to content but we will be ditching the magazine layout for a modern mobile friendly web layout. Combined with RSS Feeds, a Flipboard, and a quarterly email issue guide we hope that we can explore a new future of Gaiscioch Magazine.

- Closing Notes
Looking back at 40 years I'm so grateful that my wife, Juliana, and best friend, Don, encouraged and supported me in restoring Gaiscioch to its full glory. It has been a special part of my life and has allowed me to meet so many people I otherwise would have never had the opportunity to meet. I am thankful everyday for such an awesome supporting community that goes beyond the game. Thank you all for making this journey so memorable.

- Leather Farm
I really enjoy this run. Farming leather can be very boring. Kim makes this run fun and she never leaves anyone behind. Great Runs
- half a dozen or m0re participants
Began with some seige placement practice, took multiple keeps and had some good combat. NOTE: for participation, I selected outposts for the keeps we flipped since I'm not ranked to select keeps yet :))
Everyone did an amazing job keeping close together with crown and following lead... - Great Run!
This was a great run, very smooth.
- Serenity Leadership
I have run with Serenity several time in Guild Runs. His instructions are clear and easy to understand. He doesn't go ahead of the group, he waits for everyone and gently corrects us when we are confused...
- Friday night run
Had a 5 man group for 2 classic dungeons tonight. Was fun and lots of exp and skins.
- Auric Basin Meta
This event during our run is the BOMB.. so much fun and SOOOO much Loot. I have 8 20 slot bags and they were almost all full. and not just garbage. even got an ascended recipe for the viper's stuff. Cleared the entire map...
- Woot, We Did It!
- Great run!
Great run! We didn't get that much activity, since destro seemed afraid of order, but we did get a few good fights. And we didn't lose a single flip.
- Classic dungeon
Had a great time running with Reygar and Celesa.
