The second of these spears, EXPANSION, focuses on the aspect of expanding our community. It is vital for us to continuously change and expand our community by all means necessary, while also exercising caution as to not expand too soon or too quickly. We need to evolve our community to the constant changes that we see in the gaming world today. While we may not always be able to expand our servers, we can still offer up different groups for various games, such as a group that would be willing to play Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six: Siege, or a group that wants to band together to create a base in Rust. Whatever it may be, our goal is to expand this community beyond the reaches of Garry’s Mod, and grab the attention of a large group of diverse players, so that we are not just known for being a “Garry’s Mod community”.

Lastly, the third of these spears is LOYALTY, which focuses on the aspect of building community loyalty in the sense of wanting players to want to continue to come back to us. Of-course, we will never force our players to use our services, or play on our servers, however, our goal is to build loyalty with our players to make them want to feel an awesome sense of feeling when they return to us. This process is the hardest of the three spears, as it takes patience and time, but also requires the other two spears in order to be successful. For example, TEAM is important to LOYALTY because if we can show players that we are willing to assist them, no matter how new they may be to gaming, or to a certain game (or gamemode), then that will show players that we aren’t going to give up on them in the future. Additionally, having team aspects shows players that they can come into the community as a complete stranger, but gain a plethora of new friends just by actively participating in our community, whether it be on our forums, Discord, or servers. EXPANSION is important to LOYALTY because if we can expand our reaches to the far corners of the broad gaming community as a whole, we can bring in new people from various games that can meet with our other members, and create a solid experience together that wouldn’t have been achieved without the Gaming Gods community. Additionally, LOYALTY can also only be achieved with a solid and supportive staff team that not only just assists players, but also plays games with them! And finally, a community cannot expect loyalty without listening to its’ members. After-all, our members are our most valuable asset, and without them — without you, we would not have a gaming community to stand upon.

This is our Vision for 2019. This is the future of the Gaming Gods community. We look forward to building strong and valuable friendships with each and every one of you this new year. Please, have a safe and happy new year, and we hope to bring you some more good news in regards to our Rust server within the coming weeks.
