Gaiscioch Community Notes Issue 12, 2021

Gaiscioch

Cead Mile Failte!

Well, here we are rolling into the last month of 2021. With the holidays upon us, we look towards 2022 with anticipation of a brighter road forward. The past two years have been very trying on everyone. One thing is for certain. When times get tough, we grow closer. I have had some wonderful conversations with so many of you. Getting to know you all and sharing a part of your life has been a blessing. It's my favorite thing about this community. I wish you all a happy and safe holiday season and look forward to ringing in the new year with you all.

This year we've had a host of new things come our way. Some turned out wonderful and we found great success, others drifted back into the nothing they came from. In this issue, I'll lay out the movers and shakers of 2021 and give you insight into what we're up to in each.

Did you miss the 2021 Gaiscioch Community Conference?

It's all good we saved you a piece of cake and a copy of it right here. On November 15th we gathered on Twitch to celebrate 20 years of making friends and memories with Gaiscioch.

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.

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.

Chapter 4:
Guild Wars 2

Anticipation Building for End of Dragons

Over the past month, we've seen several reveals including Echovald Wilds, The Jade Sea, and the new two-player Siege Turtle mount. One thing is for certain, this new expansion is going to be filled with beautiful colors and scenic vistas. So far from the footage revealed it is quite a work of art.

Chapter 7:
New World

A rocky start, but still going strong

As new game launches go, Amazon Game Studios got their first taste of the launch day blues as they have patched hundreds of game-breaking bugs, exploits, and crashes. The first month was like trying to paddleboard during a hurricane. Yet even still, Gaiscioch flourished.

Historical Chapter 5:
Elder Scrolls Online

Next Chapter Announcement Incoming

Zenimax has been pretty tight-lipped on when the new announcement will be, but I have my suspicions. The Microsoft-supported Annual Video Game Awards takes place on December 9th and I would not doubt if the next chapter of ESO makes its debut there. This has turned into a 10% awards show and 90% world premiers of new games and expansions. It's by far the biggest night of the year for western gaming. I'd keep a close eye on updates from Zenimax and keep your eyes peeled for word on the announcement. It should be really soon.

Popular Adventure:
Conqueror's Blade

The Sunset of Season 9

We're in the final days of season 9 and we anxiously await the announcement of season 10. We are hoping it won't launch until after the holidays but if Booming Games has proven anything they don't fear launching during the holidays. Last time in season 5 that didn't work out so well for them. I'm hoping they learned their lesson.

New Adventure
Myth of Empires

Myth of Empires launched into early access on steam this month as a buy-2-play title. So far it is very similar to Ark however its guild system is massive. It provides an internal work order system like our marketplace, guild technologies, guild perks, sub grouping to build platoons, and a bunch more I have not even begun to discover.

Movers and Shakers of 2021

For those of you just joining the community, you might not know how we work as a community. In the beginning, we used to pick games based on a qualifications matrix to assess whether or not a game would perform well with our community. Over the years game studios have begun offering less and less and making guild sizes smaller and smaller causing us to change how we operate if we want to survive.
