- A Change of Direction for New World
When former ArenaNet lead producer Colin Johanson joined the team at Amazon Game Studios to begin work on New World, many of us were curious as to what it was going to become. We signed up for the beta and waited patiently to see it first hand. About two years ago several of us were invited to join the alpha program and much to our disappointment we learned the game was full loot open pvp. This, in an instant, meant that New World could never be a chapter we could explore. Those of us that stuck out the endless griefing and pking found that Amazon is REALLY good at making games. This game in alpha was more solid than most released titles on the market today. We kept going and kept reporting things we found all the while expressing our dislike for the always-on pvp system that encouraged players to grief one another without any real way to fight back.

- The Raiding Situation
As you've probably noticed we've been bleeding out a lot of high-level players. It is difficult to keep them involved in the end game when we don't have anyone willing and able to lead Raiding events. When we do get members who try there aren't enough people left to get them going. This is an age-old chicken or the egg problem we saw in RIFT. Unless we can find a group of people willing to stick out the wait and help people get to the place they need to be, we're going to have a rough road ahead.

- A Rough Week Brings Amazing Support
On Saturday, January 18th, a house or alliance yet to be discovered placed a mercenary contract on our heads with our friends over at brutaL. They carried out the contract and wiped us off the map rather quickly. I spoke with brutaL during the engagement and he even gave me some tips for next time. While it's easy to get angry at brutaL, they honestly did us a kindness. They showed us what we're up against at the top tier. They gave us back our land the following battle and also shared with us some techniques to sideline the assault they threw at us using lower-level troops.

- Gaiscioch Opens Portal Knights Private Server
What began as a Livestream on PlayStation 4, spawned a Christmas gift for my nephews, which has turned into the revitalization of our Gaiscioch Jr. program. We have launched our very own Portal Knights server for all to enjoy. There are only 4 slots available so space is limited at times but you can coordinate with GmaFoghladha (the guardian of the server) to ensure you and your little ones have a window to play in. It is a shared persistent world that we can build together. Be sure to hop in discord and set Portal Knights as a game your playing by following the instructions in the #getting-started channel. Also, head over to Gaiscioch.com and join the Portal Knights Adventure.

- New World Goes Consensual Raising it to our Watch List
As mentioned in my first announcement, New World has made a 180 on its stance of PvP. There is now no forced PvP and no risk to PvE players who do not wish to partake in PvP. As such we have relaunched our New World adventure and have begun taking sign-ups for all that want to be a part of the Gaiscioch company in New World. Head on over to the New World Adventure to sign up.
- A Disappointing Turn for Magic Legends
To say I was excited when Magic Legends was announced is an understatement. However as more has been released about the game, I can't say I'm not heartbroken. The game was originally announced as an MMORPG based on the lore of Magic the Gathering. What we ended up getting was an ARPG in the vein of Diablo or Path of Exile. While there is still grouping and joining friends for adventures, groups are limited to 3 players and it's appearing that Guild Sizes are going to be tiny. There are talks with sizes being as few as 20 people.

- Torchlight Frontiers Becomes Torchlight III Downgrading MMO Status
In breaking news today, Torchlight Frontiers announced that they will be phasing out the MMORPG aspect of their game bringing the game back in line with the Torchlight II style of gameplay. They are keeping the player hubs where people can form up parties and head out but the outside world will now be instanced based. You will also be able to play the game single player. The game is moving away from the Free-2-Play model and moving to a Buy-2-Play model along with removing its cash shop. This is the second MMORPG this month that has pulled the massively out of their game in exchange for small scale cooperative play. All close on the heels of Pagan Online releasing with only a 2 player mode. Will this be a good thing for Torchlight? Time will tell.
