Spring 2025 Gaiscioch Community Changes

As the summer months approach and new games make their way to our horizon, we have been making some changes to help streamline progression in the community. This month, we announce the removal of the contribution requirement that has been a problematic hurdle for most in the modern MMO landscape. In addition, in an effort to bring awareness and recognition to all of those who contribute to the longevity of the Gaiscioch Community, we have built a special section for our supporters.Contribution

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.

Legends of the Family (Laoch)

Among the most devoted in the community are the Legends. They have devoted more than two years of their lives to playing along side the family and have shown their devotion and commitment to our families beliefs and best practices. They encourage the new, teach the learning and support the community. These are the most trusted advisors to the elder council and occasionally they will request feedback, ideas and perspectives to help guide the future of the community. Above all else, Legends are shining examples of what all Gaiscioch members should strive to be. This role can be obtained by both leaders and followers and is the pinnacle of ones Gaiscioch career.

War Council (Tiarna)

The War Council is comprised of members who have stepped up to lead events and activities for the family. They have proven themselves on the battlefield and have collected 25 signatures of approval from their followers. They have accepted the Mark of Service credo and understand that Leadership is not a position of power, it is a position of service. They have committed themselves to hosting fun and friendly events for the community at large.

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 8:
Conqueror's Blade

Stalwart Gaiscioch Warriors Hold the Line

This season has not only shown us what we're capable of but it has also been a highly profitable season so far. Our focus this season has been on locking down the most profitable nodes on the map and we have done so magnificently.

Conqueror's Blade 101 Courses – Thursdays at 6 PM PT

I'm excited to announce that I’ll be taking my Conqueror’s Blade 101 classes public and officially developing a full curriculum! These one-hour sessions will be held every Thursday at 6 PM PT, each covering a different core aspect of Conqueror’s Blade to help players at all levels sharpen their skills. After each lesson, there will be an open Q&A session where you can dive deeper into the material and get your specific questions answered. Whether you’re brand new to the game or just looking to brush up on your fundamentals, this is a great opportunity to strengthen your foundation and grow alongside the community.

Join Us for the Dune Awakening Beta Test – May 9–12!

The sands are stirring, and an exciting opportunity awaits! Dune: Awakening is opening its next Beta test from May 9th to May 12th, and we would love for the Gaiscioch family to be a part of it. This is our chance to step onto Arrakis together, explore its unforgiving landscape, and get a first taste of the survival MMO adventure that Funcom has been crafting. Whether you’re a longtime fan of Dune’s rich lore or just excited for a new frontier to explore, this beta promises to offer a glimpse into a world full of danger, discovery, and ambition.

Pleasantly Surprised by Warborne Above Ashes

Over the past week, Gaiscioch has been diving into the month-long beta for Warborne: Above Ashes, an exciting new endless warfare MMORPG that strikes a unique balance between PvE and PvP. At its core, the game feels very much like the classic RvR lakes from Dark Age of Camelot — but with six realms battling for dominance instead of three. It's a fresh and engaging take on large-scale warfare that's been a lot of fun to explore.
