Greetings Everyone,

Gaiscioch has been invited to be a part of the First Ashes of Creation Guild Faire on Friday June 23rd at 5-8PM PT. This event will be streamed live at: https://www.twitch.tv/ashesofcommunity and we will have our own booth to talk with potential members and answer questions. If anyone would like to join me at our booth we will be in the official discord. Feel free to come join me and share some stories with some potential members. I will be broadcasting our Booth live on http://gsch.info/twitch and http://gsch.info/youtube if you want to stop by and ask some questions. 

What I would really like to do is pre-seed a question list and have a few people ask these questions to help get the questions flowing. If there is anyone that would like to help me by asking a few questions to get the ball rolling let me know. If you would like to join me to welcome people as a representative of our community let me know. This wont be a time for a bunch of us to just gab away we will want to keep to answering and fielding questions. But it could be a fun opportunity for us to share a few experiences and tell a few stories.

We will need lots of content to cover so please feel free to reply to this post with something you think we should share. I plan to have a collage running in the background of our stream showing our communities finest moments along with our contact information. I might even throw in a few videos. It's a 3 hour stream so I suspect there will be time to kill between wandering players checking in with us.

You can learn more about this event at: https://forums.ashesofcreation.com/discussion/33009/guild-fair-on-friday-the-23rd-of-june/p1 

Also be sure to stop by our official post on the Ashes of Creation forum and share a story or two.

Sign up for Ashes of Creation at: http://gsch.info/play/aoc to link yourself to the Gaiscioch master account in hopes of getting our pioneers in early in the testing process. Once you have registered feel free to pass your referral link out to your friends, family, and coworkers to get them on board. All Gaiscioch should us the link above initially to make it easier to flag our accounts. This url is only being used for Gaiscioch Members so that we can group us all together for Steven. 

Questions So Far:

  • What is a Gaiscioch?
  • Where did Gaiscioch Begin?
  • What will our focus be in Ashes of Creation?

  • What does Gaiscioch look for in a game when building a chapter? (and how does Ashes fit in?)

Fog; I will be glad to come up with some questions from my perspective as a recent new member. Would also like to join in on Friday night. Looks like this is more about the guild, than it is the game (ashes). right? 

 

Fog I posted the link to the chapter selection process in the AoC forum. Curious to see how many hits it gets. Hope the Dev's read it too.

I have an account in Ashes of Creation starting last January. After reading most of the write-ups about the game, I participated in the Kick Start program for them. I believe that this game is going to huge and make a big impact with the gaming community. Some guilds are recruiting now for the start-up. One new guild is forming to charge caravans for guarding them during their journey from town to town. There are some very new and exciting ideas being shared. Because I participated in Kick Start, I believe I have a good shot at being part of the test phase. I do not know how it is going to work, but they do send me updates from time to time. If you like, I will share what I know as they move along.

What kind of blend is Gaiscioch looking forward to, as it pertains to PVE vs. PVP?

Have to make an assumption about potential questions you may get on Friday. Since this is in Discord they must already be playing at least 1 game or may be more. Soooo

  1. Is this a RAID guild?
  2. Am I required to play (mandatory gameplay ie raid nights)?
  3. What are the benefits of being in the guild vs going solo?
  4. Can I invite my friends?
  5. Are Dues or fees required?
  6. Do I need to do anything special to join the guild (group runs to prove myself)?
  7. Is the GM a monster or a nice guy?
  8. ---hehehehehe---
  9. Will you have scheduled events?
  10. Will there be some kind of tutorial for new members?
  11. Any special recognition for contribution to the guild (discovery, crafting, lore)?
  12. Will you have a guild website dedicated to AoC?
  13. Do you use TS as well as Discord?
  14. Have you ever had to kick someone from the Guild? if so why?
  15. I have a slow computer and/or a bad connection. Will that be a problem?

I checked out the Guild Fair for the EU servers today.

They were asking:

 

  1. What previous games had the guild played.
  2. What areas of interest the guild had.
  3. How big they anticipated the guild to become.
  4. What was the guild goals.
  5. What were the value propositions of being in the guild.

 

My favorite response was from one of the Russian guilds who basically were touting their PVP prowess, I paraphrase but their input was basically as follows:

 

Q: "What are your goals as a guild."

A: "To crush our enemies, see them driven before us and hear the lamentations of their women."

 

One of the guilds indicated that they were focused on Naval combat and were discussing the needs to be based on a node near the sea.

At least one or two of them declared that their competitive edge was going to be the harvesting and distribution of information exclusively for their members, which generated many funny comments such as "Hey kid wanna buy same game info?"

The concept of "Mercenary Guilds" was discussed in several of the interviews. This may be a common concept but I've personally never played a game that had that as prevalent element that I'm aware of. One of the discussions centered around 'time capping' when you could 'jump shards' to avoid some sort of ambush situation maybe, not sure.

This was like a 3 hour plus discussion and I saw at least 2K people that were watching at one point. 

All in all a very interesting encounter.

Lesson Learned from tonight's Guild Fare for NA.

  1. Fog did a great job representing the guild with a coherent message that was true to the "Blades Out, Not In" philosophy I've perceived from this group thus far.
  2. There are a LOT of people who are awaiting a new game.
  3. I'm in the right place with the right people to head into AOC.

Fog, great job at the interview giving an overview of the guild. A lot of the GM's seemed to ramble, not you, you were a good interview. I'm sure you'll go back and re-watch to remember what you said. :)

 There are a few things I think you need to put out there at the next fair. Consider it phase 2 of the recruitment process.

  1. Gaiscioch is 16 years old. 
  2. Gaiscioch has 7500 registered members
  3. Gaiscioch has 1000 active members playing 3 chapters and 28 social adventures.
  4. if known, how many countries are represented by the guild.
  5. Games we are playing now: Rift, ESO, GW2, and how many members play each game.
  6. more about the open world/community events, Telara Saga, etc. for non-members and the prizes

just my 2 coppers

If nothing else this week showed me some concerns with Ashes. There are some definate things we need to watch and make sure they make it into game.

Guild Size Limit 300 Characters

Alliance system with Chat Planned

At best were looking at a medium sized Gaiscioch chapter in best case scenario. 500 to 700 people max. Beyond that will be rough to manage across multiple guilds in an Alliiance. 500 people at 2 characters would be 4 guilds linked by alliance.  Whoever joins our in game alliance would have to be ok with being a part of the conversation as alliance chat would be our guild chat. Some things to think about.

 

Sad that the days where we were embraced are gone. Game companies and gamers are hell bent on keeping guilds small. Just look at my post on the AoC forums. Dozens of people asking for it to be smaller. The people speaking in every place ive posted my article are saying rhey want smaller guid sizes. This is the future were moving to. Weve got to adapt to it or fade into the history books. I dont think we'll ever see a rift like chapter again. Those days were glorious and stuff of legends.

I'm not sure I understand where they are coming from, how does it influence them if we are one 1000 person guild or 4 smaller ones.  We are still going to have the same footprint on the game, the only difference would be a negative against us and how we play, and interact.  

Depending on how they give influence to who becomes the leader of a city/fortress, the smaller 4 guild option might give other guilds less chance than if we are one big one.
