- Gaiscioch Family Summit April 2016
As there's a lot to cover I wanted to encourage everyone to attend this month's Gaiscioch Family Summit. We will hold it on April 2nd at 5pm PT on Discord.
- New Tutorial Based Mails
Through your Gaiscioch life you will receive a few different Gaiscioch Mails directly through the site. I've reduced the amount of Email based notices and moved the majority of them to the Gaiscioch Mail system within Gaiscioch.com. If you have a new mail you'll see this at the top of your Command Center.
- Gaiscioch Structure Changes
Time to shake the old tree again! Run, hide, the sky is falling! Ahhhhh! No wait that's kinda cool. Some of you may know that our former ranks were a hodge podge assortment of Irish, Middle-Irish, and Scottish. Without a reliable person to help me translate them all into Middle-Irish i've had to rely on various translations found around the web. There are 7 versions of Gaelic still being used in the world today and that doesn't even include the dozen or so versions that have faded over time.
- Moving to Discord
After a month of running it and GameVox side by side it seems that most of you prefer Discord over GameVox and our numbers of active users support that. Discord is a much easier application to get public groups involved in what we're doing and with the changes upcoming in April in Guild Wars 2, i'm certain we'll be doing a lot more community events. We have begun migrating our usage from GameVox to Discord. I understand some people have had problems getting it to work and as such i've done investigating into some of the common problems. I have created a post available for you that will walk you through downloading, setup, and configuration of Discord.

- Prepare for Quarterly Update
As Mike O'Brien mentioned in his AMA on Reddit, the plan is to release the next big quarterly update in April. So this month sometime we should start seeing announcements of what is to come. From his AMA we know things we might see could include:
- The Livestream
The Social Adventures livestream has been taking off lately. Both Elder Scrolls Online and Warhammer Online saw double digit viewers and quite a bit of interaction. Our Black Desert livestreams we're a bit of a catastrophe and left many of our members questioning my sanity. So for the time being I've put the Black Desert livestreams on hold until some large group content is introduced or we are ready to take on the large scale content currently in the game. In the meantime Return to Reckoning is about to launch Tier 4 and we're going to be rolling our efforts towards getting to Tier 4. Additionally I will be in Las Vegas the last thursday of the month so I won't be hosting a Social Adventure that night.
- Black Desert Online Update
As you can imagine, Black Desert Online guild member slots have been in high demand. The game so far has been far more successful than anticipated. Black Desert's guild system, is to put it lightly, not very large guild friendly. It took us the better part of a couple weeks to get the limit to 100. Now that it's at 100 there's no cross guild communication, no multiple guild membership, no custom chat channels, no alliances, and no ability to help in other guilds do their guild missions. In all intents and purposes cooperating between multiple guilds in PvE is not possible. Once node wars come out, we will see what can be done. From what i've seen in the Korean versions it looks like allies fighting on the same objective might get bloody as guilds can hurt one another. Even if allies.

- Warhammer Online Update
Those of you that have been playing with us in Warhammer Online again, we've almost progressed our way out of Tier 2 and with another 2 weeks I think the majority of us will be ready to advance to tier 3. Which is great timing as the game is launching Tier 4 shortly. In addition we've run across our old friend Nation who has Blessed Empire up and running again. Some of our alliance kin are surfacing again and it won't be long before we have the good ol Warhammer feeling again. Just last week we managed to successfully perform a Pandora's Box defense driving away 2 full warbands with less than 1 warband.
- Next Issue In Production: Exploring Futures
In the next issue of Gaiscioch Magazine I will be revealing an inside look as to how we select chapters for the Gaiscioch Community. I will also be writing a piece about the demise of games past that highlights the changes that decimated games in hopes that modern game developers can take note and steer clear of these changes.
- New Show Launched: Weekend Warriors
It's with great excitement that I present a new show to highlight the StreamTeam MERCs! Taking place every Saturday 11-1PM PT, the Weekend Warriors pits our StreamTeam Mercs into 5v5 battles against each other in various games each week. While the Streams of Epic Adventure are based on Cooperative Gaming and MMOs, the Weekend Warriors will be focused on small scale PvP. Our first battle took place in Bierzerkers. Here's the lineup for our Weekend Warriors.

- Closing Notes April 2016
I want to thank you all for being a part of our community and family. I know change is never easy, and there was a lot of change over the past 30 days and will be a lot of change over next next. Being able to adapt and grow is what has kept us alive for one and a half decades. I hope some of the changes we implemented this month will help drive us forward over the next 15. Thank you for being such a warm, loving and supportive community. This is more than just a guild, this is a family.
