Céad Míle Fáilte!
I wanted to take a moment to introduce you to the Gaiscioch of Sanctum of Rall and welcome you to join our weekly activities regardless of your Guild or Server affiliation.
First and foremost “Gaiscioch is not the guild for all, it’s the family for many”. We are not an exclusive community where we require representation. Instead we are an inclusive community that welcomes all players to join in our activities regardless of their guild or server.
The History of the Gaiscioch
The Gaiscioch was founded in 2001 as a casual gaming community focused on creating memorable events, and lasting friendships. Gaiscioch has traveled through Dark Age of Camelot, Warhammer Online, RIFT, Elder Scrolls Online, and Guild Wars 2 over it’s 13 year history.
We are best known for our large scale public community events such as the Battle for Badlands (Warhammer Online), the Telara Saga (RIFT), and the Great Tyrian Adventure (Guild Wars 2). Our commitment to community goes beyond the game with our involvement in children’s charities, and also with game development studios like ArenaNet, Trion Worlds, and ZeniMax Online.
Today the community is still run by its original founder, Benjamin “Foghladha” Foley, and has an unbreakable commitment to the Sanctum of Rall server.
Why Sanctum of Rall?
The Sanctum of Rall holds a very special meaning to the Gaiscioch. Our being here is a living testament to the life of Roger “Oldroar” Rall, a fallen member of the Gaiscioch Family. In the years prior to launch Roger lead troops into battle in Warhammer Online with calm and rational demeanor. He was a fatherly figure to most of the Gaiscioch members and not only helped people in their gaming life but also in their real lives.
He watched a little game called Guild Wars 2 enter the future MMORPG scene and became obsessed with every tidbit of news and information that became available for the title. He believed this would be the best home for our community and wanted to do everything he could to encourage us to come here.
Just months before alpha began, Roger suddenly passed away at his desk. This sent a ripple through not only our community but into the rest of the gaming world. News of his passing was seen on every major gaming network and players from both sides of Warhammer Online’s community came out of the woodwork to offer condolences in support. That is when we decided that sink or swim we had to put a living monument into Guild Wars 2 to remember Roger’s legacy. We began with a letter writing campaign and followed it with a “CookieZerg” to try to bribe ArenaNet with sugary treats. Our first request was declined but former community manager Martin Kerstein didn’t give up and neither did we. In the final hours before Beta 2 began we received note that a server would be opened in his memory by the name of Sanctum of Rall.
Our commitment to our server is not one of who has the highest ranking in WvW, or who has the most Tequatl kills. It has nothing to do with loot or accolades, or even where the major population of similar guilds are. Our Server is a living monument to a man that changed a lot of our members lives for the better. We will be on Sanctum of Rall until the day they close the server and continue keeping Rogers torch lit.

Join one of our Weekly Events!
Sanctum of Rall Community Events [SORC]
In 2013 the Gaiscioch created an events guild that would allow players from any guild receive guild commendations for running the Guild Missions. This is a temporary guild where invites are handed out before the event and players are removed based on the last time they logged in. Each week we host several [SORC] Events helping players from all servers get credit for the weekly Guild Mission achievements. Additionally we use this guild during social hour to help coordinate players across several zones.

Going Beyond The Game
Charity Involvement
For the past 5 years the Gaiscioch has been heavily involved in Children’s Charities. From participating in the annual Extra Life Charity event to the DoubleUp Charity Event hosted by Gaiscioch, we have done our best to contribute to children’s charity and aid them in having the opportunity to make epic memories of their own. In addition we have supported Pink Day in LA and have gone pink for the entire month of October in every game we play for the past 4 years.

The Gaiscioch Pioneers
This team was originally put together for Trion World’s RIFT as a core group of players that can be summoned on call to provide game development studios with an on call testing team. Since it’s launch they have helped test and provide feedback on dozens of games. We continue to help play our part within the development community by attending real world focus groups, behind the scenes testing, and by writing documentation for development teams to review.
