Gaiscioch Community Summit - May 15th at 2PM PT

Join the community for the Q2 edition of our Gaiscioch Community Summit on May 15th at 2PM PT / 5PM ET. This Quarter we're going to move it an hour earlier than usual to try to make it easier for our European family to attend.

May brings good news but not out of the woods yet.

My professional life had some good news this month. This upcoming month I'm finally able to bring my staff back on full time. This is great news as I will be running at full steam again. In addition, my CEO gave me a call to let me know they were restoring my salary back to where it was pre-covid.

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

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.

  » Bialust   » Coffee   » WeaverASTX   » ZoogieZork

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.

The Icebrood Sage
Champions Finale - Judgment is Live!

Braham Eirsson’s destiny is unfolding. When his arrow pierced Jormag’s fang, he shouldered his people’s quest for retribution against the dragon. He’s grown into a hero worthy of the prophecy—but fulfilling it may come at a price you’ve seen too many friends pay. As avatars of a hatred that spans millennia, what will become of the Elder Dragons’ mortal champions?

Exploring Tamriel Moves to a New Date and Time

Over the past few months, I've heard a bit of feedback that Friday nights are anything but optimal for my events. Being most of the people that have been attending are east coast, I've decided to try to move this event to my Wednesday at 3PM PT timeslot as a trial to see it this time works better for people.

One Month Until Blackreach Chapter Launch!

Our journey stands before the gates of Oblivion and we are just a tiny bit away from the next chapter of Elder Scrolls Online.

Conqueror's Blade

Season 7 Rages On

We started off season 7 with a hard push back into our ancestral homelands in Northwest Ostaria. We went toe to toe against BlackhandofNOD, Vornair, Partisans and the mighty cohort legion. Week after week we have faced the cohort onslaught and came out on top.

Some new Arrivals to keep your eye on!

This month has been full of ups and downs. We saw Amazon's Lord of the Rings MMO fall due to business negotiations gone wrong. But we also saw a whole slew of new opportunities arrive for several games in beta. In addition, there were a few new MMOs announced that are worth a glance. Even if some have questionable names.

Get Ready for a Summer of Adventure!

This summer is shaping up to be a very adventure-heavy season. Our main chapters are gaining the new expansions (GW2: End of Dragons, ESO: Blackreach, WOWC: Burning Crusade) and a wealth of new adventures are arriving both in alpha/beta testing and full release. Between summer and fall, we will see the launch of New World, Elyon, Bless Unleashed, Magic Legends, and Gatewalkers to name a few.

Sad News for Amazon's Lord of the Rings MMO

It seems that in the end, Sauron won. Before the game could even show its first trailer backroom business decisions killed this hot upcoming MMORPG. You may have remembered back in the fall of last year when Tencent bought Athlon Games parent studio Leyou Technologies, owner of Warframe developer Digital Extremes. Well following that buyout, negotiations between Amazon and Tencent fell through and Amazon decided to scrap the project.

Beta, Beta, Beta, Alpha! Alpha!

This month things are poppin off in the MMO scene. We've got a whole slew of Beta and Alphas coming our way to partake in. This might not be a very a good few months for your gamer ADHD because there's a lot to get distracted with. But at least we won't get bored!
