    Impact Gaming Community - A Multi-Game MMOG Community


    Greetings! I'm Grey, MMO player and Community Manager/Founder for the Impact Gaming Community (IGC). We are a Multi-Game, Multi-skill, PC Gaming Community and are always on the lookout for talented players like yourself who are seeking a long-term place to game that they can call Home. Maybe IGC is the place for you. Let me tell you a bit about it and you can decide for yourself if we’re the place you want to game.

    History
    IGC began as a single, small group of friends in July of 2010. That group formed Neutral Impact and still exists today. NI plays Final Fantasy XIV and has been raiding since version 1.0 of the game (you know, the terrible one). From our then-small group an interest to play Rift arose. A few of our players wished to remain together and form a new guild. Violent Impact was born, and Impact Gaming Community was created!

    Since that time we've added numerous guilds and gamer groups across several MMOs, MOBAs, and other games. We’ve experienced Star Wars: The Old Republic, Rift, Guild Wars 2, Wildstar, TERA to name a few. Over the years guilds have come and gone but our reach has extended even into games like Rocket League, World of Tanks, and DOTA 2. The roster of games changes as we grow, expand, and interest within our playerbase changes.

    Philosophy
    IGC is about having fun. We seek fun-loving and mature adults with a semi-hardcore mentality. We define that as players who min/max everything and play at the highest level possible, but can't necessarily login for more than 3-4 hours a night. We believe real life comes first and want to know each and every player we recruit will respect your time.

    IGC is highly organized. Mostly everything is scheduled so you always know when your group's events are happening. We use an event calendars to make this happen. Leaders are transparent with their members too. We post on our forums, use guild messages, and converse on Teamspeak to keep our members in the loop on both community-wide and guild-related matters. Recently we’ve added Google Hangout to the list of ways to communicate. This has allowed us to reach the wide audience of our entire community, while still allowing for smaller groups to organize within their own group chats too. It has really brought us together in a big way.

    IGC is about connections. Like anywhere else, you join a guild to play a game. Beyond that, the community offers a way to connect with players across games. Members can hop to another game when they want to and participate in any way they choose. No one's locked into anything, although I would say the majority of our players tend to stay in one group while making friends in others without moving games. We share everything at IGC; Teamspeak, forums, youtube channel, twitter, steam group, and Google Hangouts. We don't just look for players to join our guilds or groups. **We look for players that want to establish themselves long-term with us**. We want players that have a desire to grow within our community and prepare for upcoming titles if they wish.

    Goals
    Our primary goal is to continue to grow and remain a solid gaming community that provides our members with the highest quality possible experience. This is important to us and we've put in a lot of work to be successful and showcase our talents whenever possible. We feel that continued success is the best way to bring in new players.

    At the end of the day we try to provide a gaming experience like no other; one that is enjoyable and conducive to building long-lasting friendships. We recruit the types of players we feel can help make that happen. While we can't make everyone happy we do what we can to make the most amount of people feel at home with us.

    Offerings
    So you might be asking your "what does IGC offer?" Besides a great place to game, our community offers all the following to all its members:

    • Great-looking website
    • Shared community assets
    • Ever-growing list of games!)
    • 500-person Teamspeak
    • Bi-weekly Podcasts (you can be part of it!)
    • Social media connections (Youtube, Twitter, Steam, Twitch)
    • Best of all: A place to call Home!


    This is just the start of what we offer. What you bring to the table transcends all the things we could possibly offer you, the player. Everyone contributes their own special bit of magic to our community and that is just as important to our growth as any of the the stuff above. It sounds sappy but it's 100% true.

    Growth
    IGC grows because some of our players step-up to take on new projects that allow us to provide more games to everyone. Sometimes we bring in new players that are qualified and motivated to lead a new chapter or gamer group too. We're always on the lookout for:

    • Qualified Guild Leader/Masters
    • Motivated Officers
    • Reliable Members
    • Fun-loving Casuals
    • People who like writing
    • Forum-lurkers!


    When I began this community it had 5 players to start and we peaked at over 300 in our history. This doesn't happen without leaders, casuals, and everything in between. Yeah, we're pretty picky about who gets to be a Guild Leader or an Officer but that's what makes our community stronger than many others.

    Right now I am discussing expanding the Tabletop Gaming section to include online versions of board games. Diplomacy comes to mind... PM if any interest as per usual.

    Also our first Tabletop RPG meeting is this Friday (tomorrow) at 7pm EST on our TS. The group will decide which campaign it will partake in so if you want in, just show up and poke a TS admin for access to move channels.

    We've got a GL and PvE officer in place for Wildstar now! Taking full-fledged apps for that title now here. Members will get to have a say in the guild name, colors, and influence the direction of the guild. Good luck to those interested!

    Yes we are. The group has some Imp alts I believe. If you hop on TS speak with Ashthor (guild leader) and he can tell you more. Poke Bracsith (ts admin) and let him know what you're there for and he can help you out.

    We've established a Neverwinter guild on Mindflayer server (10+ players atm, various levels). Anyone is free to join for a fun, casual time. We're currently determining what the future of the guild will be so the more interested members we get, the more likely we are to stick around for awhile. Reap the benefits of IGC by joining this guild today. Hop on our TS if interested on send me a PM here or on our site.

    We have added Impact Press, a team of writers, photographers, and gamers who will be covering gaming news for us! We're posting up 3-4 articles per day to start and hoping to grow from there. We will consider anyone who enjoys writing and covering news for our team (application here, very short). There will be full E3 coverage this year and we will be on-site for New York Comic-con in October with our newly approved press passes!

    There's a new social media manager in place now updating our Facebook daily and tweeting updates on the regular too. We just published our 8th podcast this past Sunday (pre-E3 coverage) and will have a follow-up podcast on 6/16 to discuss the good and the bad from E3! You can listen to all our podcasts episodes here. We often have an audience sitting in with us that asks questions to our casters (anyone can be an audience member).

    There is also a community meeting on our Teamspeak this Monday, June 10 @8pm EST which anyone who is interested in joining IGC can attend. Every member of the community generally comes so this is a big meeting (happens twice a year). It will cover all community and guild news, including the addition of some new stuff to our community, announcement of a few promotions, and a few extras I have planned.
