Gaiscioch Chapter Structure Changes
We've begun unifying our chapters around a new program to keep them open and available to all over the course of time (as best we can). It can be a lot of fun going back to a classic that you fell in love with years ago for a good ol' romp in your old stomping ground.
We have changed the way chapters work to follow the following format:
- Chapter - 300+ Players - The primary focus of the community. Includes 1 annual grand scale public community event per year. Players have the full features of the Gaiscioch site at their disposal. All games must pass the Compatibility Matrix with a 65% score or higher to become a chapter.
- Legacy Chapter - 50 - 299 Players - A chapter becomes a Legacy chapter when it crosses 250 active players. Legacy chapters keep their current systems intact and continue to have 1 elder per 50 active players. A Legacy Chapter becomes a full chapter by exceeding 300 active players.
- Historical Chapter - 1 - 50 Players - These chapters remain open for historical purposes. We like to allow our members the ability to lead events in our classic Gaiscioch chapters if they desire. Historical Chapters function on the same level as Social Adventures and earn social points for attending events. A Historical Chapter becomes a legacy chapter by exceeding 100 active players.
The main reasons Historical Chapters function on the social adventure system is due to low population. We feel it's best that members can claim their activity with as little as 1 additional member. Historical Chapters typically do not have the active population to require 4 or more participants. We are however looking at ways to tie attendance to the output of honor points for our leadership and fellowship system so that both systems function similarly.
New Chapter Landing Pages
This month I've begun creating several new landing pages for our chapters. While they are not quite 100% where I want them they are getting close. These pages will serve as landing pages we can point our forum posts at to help recruit new members. Each chapter page features a custom introduction to our community, videos, screenshots, feature list, forum posts, game news, Gaiscioch Magazine articles and livestream schedule if available. These hubs will help introduce curious players to our community. In addition I am launching "Potential Chapter" pages to help us measure interest levels in the titles.
Thank You Patreons!
As always I can not express my gratitude enough to all of those that have supported the community through Patreon, Twitch and YouTube. Your contributions have gone a long way into allowing us to grow and provide us with tools to streamline our operation.

Note: I'm working on plugging in the contribution system for Patreons. It will use the total amount donated to push contribution out so fear not all your contributions will be accounted for. I may need to have our Patreons link their Gaiscioch.com account to their Patreon ID to make it all work. I will let you know via email.
