Phase IV Gaiscioch Goal Update 2020!

 

"Be it ever so humble, there's no place like home!" -Henry Rowley Bishop

 

Gaiscioch House

It is so good to be back with my Gaiscioch family! I had some rigorous personal and business goals that I needed to meet since I've been gone, and now I need some game time to destress and celebrate meeting many of those goals! (But there is always more Quest's on my life map:)

Speaking of meeting Goals...

 

Since my last update, the Gaiscioch Family has met and exceeded our Phase III Patreon Funding goal! Woot!

AND we are 85% of the way to meeting our Phase IV goal as well!


I once calculated what the commercial cost to sustain this organization would be if it weren't for the altruistic efforts of Fog and others.

If you were to contract this out it would cost at least $20K per month, counting the Magazine mission, staffing and public relations work, likely $50-70K per month considering Payroll, Server Time, Development, content creation, in-game participation, promotion, accounting, security patching and updates, individual communication, family/member/customer service communications...this is one heck of an operation.

Fog pulls all this off for less than $500.00 per month (which happens to be the Phase IV goal amount). That is efficient as it gets, but it would be unfair to expect Fog to come up with all of the out-of-pocket costs himself!

 

And the final product...the "value proposition" of this group for members? This is one of the most persistent constants in my and many other's online life. I've belonged to other Guilds and groups, ranging from just-a-guild-name-only, all the way to highly stressed out raiding guilds led by megalomaniacal GL's and their Henchpeople who had zero perspectives on anything but raid mechanics, certainly no concern for the long term stability and health of its membership.

What Ben/Fog and the family has built here is something very special, it's a scaleable merry-go-round of gaming and RL, that lets you play, level, achieve, hang out, browse, meet new people, stay to yourself, contribute, utilize resources, keep you informed, take your input and has really positively affected a LOT of people's lives over the years.

There are MANY ways to help feed and sustain the family to meet the basic and stretch goals, big or small consider supporting this family through the Patreon Creator support function here:
