Cead Mile Failte!

Welcome to another edition of the Gaiscioch Community Notes. This past month we held our 1st Quarter 2021 Gaiscioch Community Summit and introduced some cool things to our lineup. In this issue, I'll recap a lot of those things for you just in case you missed it. Additionally, you can watch the summit replay here.

Gaiscioch #FightLikeAGamer

We're ramping up our fundraiser in association with Stand Up To Cancer. This year we're going to be holding a 3-day Livestream & cooperative games fest on May 14-16th to raise money for cancer research & education.

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.

Support The Community

Get The Most of Gaiscioch

With so many new people joining the community I wanted to take a moment to encourage everyone to claim participation. By claiming participation you will earn Fellowship points for Chapters and Social Points for Adventures. These two numerical values get added to your total Honor Points which determine your rank in the community.

Gaiscioch Family Promotions:

I wanted to take a moment to say congratulations to a few members this month for accepting their next credo and stepping into a new role in our family.

Guardians (Seaimpín)

The Gaiscioch Family Guardians are an advanced part of the Veteran Members group and serve as the front line of our family. They help newer members learn about the family, our website, and our belief system. They occasionally will need to help get conversations back on track, or report misdoing's to the family elders. They act as advisors, guidance providers, and overall protectors of the family name. By this time a member should be involved in the family for more than 6 months and has been an active attendee in family events. For those who prefer fellowship over leadership this is the last stop on the family tree. Members must prove their leadership ability to progress to the Leadership ranks through the accumulation of both Valor Points (Earned through leading events.) as well as earning Tokens of Valor from lower ranked members of the family.

Veteran Members (Curadh)

Veteran Members have proven their devotion to the family by participating in events and contributing to the family's success. They have been active more than 90 days and have continued to be contributing members to the family.

  » B0ANERGES   » DemiBeard

Official Members (Lorgaire)

Official Members have earned the rank of Lorgaire and have accepted the Mark of the Kindred credo. They have officially decided to become members of the family and start their journey to ascend the roles of the Gaiscioch Family.

A massive new patch is on its way with the release of the Flames of Ambition DLC. This patch completely redesigns the Champion Point System with a new UI and a streamlined system that offers both active and passive bonuses. In addition, there are 2 new dungeons coming with the DLC.

Group Dungeons with Foghladha

Over the past few months, we've made our rounds through most of the older content. This month on March 8th the Flames of Ambition arrive and to kick off the excitement we will be spending March 12th and 19th tackling the two new dungeons in the Flames of Ambition.

Popular Adventure:
Conqueror's Blade

Introducing the ConquerorsBladeHub.com

I'm pleased to announce my latest website focused on building a healthy and competitive server community. Much like what we have done in the past with Battle For Badlands, the Telara Saga, and the Sanctum of Rall we have taken it upon ourselves to build a place where all of our server community can take pride and call home.

Introducing the War Report of Cloudwing Valley

Join Foghladha every Saturday at 9PM PT for the Weekly War Report. This Livestream event breaks down who gained and lost property each week and gives the analysis of who's up and coming and who's on their way down. Be sure to tune in each week and support our community.

Season 6 Wrap-up

Season 6 came to a close this week and we as a community enjoyed one of our best seasons to date in terms of land ownership. We held 5 Fiefs for the majority of the season and grew to include 15. We were able to get 3 of our Fiefs to spawn 5-star Fief quests but due to the size of our territory, we couldn't get the 5-star Fief quest machine up and rolling at full steam.

Season 7 Outlook

Next season we will be changing our location once again. I will be announcing it as we approach the launch of season 7.

Valheim Madness!

With over 3 million copies sold and 500,000 concurrent players on steam, Valheim has quickly become one of the most successful indie games of all time. For those of us who have played it we know why. It's a perfect blend of cooperative survival and action MMO style gameplay.

New World Delayed Until August

It's starting to look like this fall is going to be quite busy. Between the new world launch and the Ashes of Creation beta phase, things are really looking good for activity this fall.

Ashes of Creation Provides Some New Information This Month

Over the past month, Ashes of Creation launched its new website and a new Gameplay Preview from Alpha One. It's great to see some of the latest progress from the development studio and our hopes are still high for seeing a beta event later this year.

Gaiscioch Magazine News

Evolving the Publication

Over the past year, covid-19 has put a real strain on the remaining team and we haven't been able to publish a new issue for quite some time. We don't have the writers we once had and my time and gmafogs time has been sliced up due to real life so we are unable to put out the content at the pace we used too. 

Over the next few months, I plan to evolve our magazine site into more of a post when we can type approach moving away from issue numbers and the idea of quarterly publications. We simply don't have the staff or availability to meet that goal anymore.

I will also be changing the livestreaming section to be more of a stream calendar and community section giving a better at-a-glance of our monthly Livestreams. 

Lastly, I will once again be streamlining the process that articles go through to help speed up the process. At this point, we need to be lean and fast. If you'd like to help out be sure to enable the magazine channel in discord and drop a note. We'd love to have more writers! We can even help hook you up with games to write about.

A New Era For Gaiscioch Livestreams

Over the past 12 years we've streamed a wide variety of things looking to grow our audience. Streams of Epic Adventures, Weekend Warriors, The Siege War, Smitty Stream and PlayStation Adventures all generated a light amount of viewership but in the end just failed to capture the audience we were looking for.
