The First of which is our final meetup of the year in Atlanta, GA celebrating 16 years of Gaiscioch. The second of which is the Great Tyrian Adventure in Guild Wars 2 which launches on October 19th. The third is our 7th Annual Extra Life Charity Event benefiting the Children's Miracle Network. I've provided all the details on these three events below.

Guild Wars 2 NewsRejoining the Guild Wars 2 CommunityWith the launch of Path of Fire we've seen a tremendous surge of players returning to the fold. This seems like as good a time as any to go over how to get back in the community if you've been gone a while.
Once a member of the community, always a member of the community. There is always room for more. Right now we're sitting at about a 25 day rotation in Gaiscioch na Rall and a 3 year rotation on Morrigan and Anu. Path of Fire LaunchIf you somehow miraculously missed it, Path of Fire has launched and oh boy was this one a grand slam. ArenaNet learned their lessons with Heart of Thorns and really changed how they do expansions. The new Path of Fire brings all new types of events to the game as well as bounty hunts that you and your friends can pick up in town and go track down epic creatures for rewards. There are also 5 mounts that will help you traverse the world in new ways. Guild Wars 2 looks at mounts in a unique way giving each of them unique abilities that allow you to pass certain obstacles which unlock new areas of the map. Think Legend of Zelda. This adds many layers to each zone where you have a lot of replayability as you can access areas you previously could not. To give you an idea of how well it's doing. Last night we had almost 100 members in attendance for our new Guild Hall siege. Nightly, we've been averaging between 110 and 120 players online during primetime. Things are really hopping right now and if you're looking to get involved be sure to reconnect with us and share some adventures. New Guild Hall: Windswept HavenAssault on Windswept Haven was successful. We amassed nearly 100 Gaiscioch for an assault on the new Guild Hall. While some had to log off along the road to the new guild hall and others had to depart before we completed the fight our perseverance paid off and after several attempts and changing our approach we managed to pull it off and secure our new Desert Oasis. Why the guild hall change? Lost Precipice was nice in a lot of convenient ways however it was very close quarters and many of our statues, trophies and memorials were impossible to set up in places people could actually enjoy them. Everything was so tight that nobody saw most of the map. Windswept Haven stretches out a little and has many places that allow for meeting areas, trophy rooms, and memorial locations. All of which are alongside something useful. This allows us to build these key areas in areas that players will be exposed to and not tucked away into some hidden corner. While Windswept Haven may not be our final guild hall, it will serve as a great home until the next one appears. Hopefully, we’ll eventually have one in the forest lands or even in Cantha like our Guild Wars 1 guild hall. To get to our guild hall press "G" then click on "Guild Hall" in the top right when you have "Gaiscioch na Rall" selected.

RIFT NewsRift Adventures WrapupWe're in the final stretch of our Rift Adventures livestream series and we have but a few more areas to cover.
So what's next for our community? What would you guys like to do monday nights? Should we revisit some strongholds and hunt rifts? Take on those world bosses? Kill volan a few more times? 20-Man speedruns to get all the shinies? Let me know what you'd like to do and we'll do it! I'm going to have an abundance of keys to giveaway each week and we'll need something to do to give them all away :-). I would like to spend a week in that new zone exploring and killing all the bad things after this is all over with. I haven't really had the chance to get out there. I'm really hoping RIFT is working on something big for this fall as we need something big and new to give us a content platform for Telara Saga next year. If we can't draw the crowd, it won't be much of an epic event.
