Come Support the Family in RIFT
This is an official call to arms for all hands on deck (if you’re willing) for our upcoming Telara Saga kickoff event. As you know the first event often will either breed success or demise of a public community adventure. I would like to humbly ask all Gaiscioch members who are willing to download and install RIFT to do so and get through the tutorial zone. Once you’re out of the Tutorial Zone you will be able to take part in the festivities on February 2nd from 6-8PM Pacific.
Be sure to also join Gaiscioch in game by pressing Shift + G and searching for "Gaiscioch". There is no guild cap so you aren't taking someone else's seat. We're trying to get off the bottom of the second page and need a lot of characters to pull that off.
Even if you plan to uninstall the day after, your support in both joining the in-game guild and your attendance in the first event is very helpful. Please help make this a successful relaunch. Many of us have spent an insane amount of time polishing this up and getting us ready to launch our first public community adventure in 2 years.
Next up will be Guild Wars 2 with a relaunch of the Great Tyrian Adventure. Fortunately, with the new community events engine I built, it will be an easier transition as the site is already coded and I just need to apply a skin to the site.
Be sure to register for the Telara Saga by signing up for a Gaiscioch Passport which will also work on the Gaiscioch Magazine and Great Tyrian Adventure site by going to https://www.TelaraSaga.com/register.html
Every person helps.
New Welcome Kit System
For years, I have tried to manage sending welcome kits to new players using nothing more than memory and my friends list. Over the past month I've built a new system that helps me track who we've sent welcome kits to and also makes a quick copy and paste version of my message for faster sending.
For those that are wondering what the heck i'm going on about. Our community since DAOC has put together small gifts to help early adventurers get started. In Guild Wars 2 and RIFT they come in the form of bags. Everyone needs more bagspace and at the start it is so limited it's almost painful. Between the 2 games I send between 20 and 50 bags per week.
This new system helps me see how many kits we're sending and it also keeps track of the names who have received welcome kits. The cool part is it will also show us how many of those characters eventually become members. It even shows me the date they received a welcome kit and the date they joined. This should give some more visibility of how people are finding us and coming to join us.
The nice part is if I ever need to take a break from sending kits, I can have someone fill in for me and we'll be able to see who we've sent kits to in the past. I've never had the ability to share the age old tradition with others.
New Public Event Calendars
Being Gaiscioch is a community that thrives on running public events for all of a game community to enjoy, I've made it easier than ever to share our events with other. Each of our chapters now have an events link that will display the upcoming events marked as public.
