Long time no announcements! Excited to share that we’ve got a brand new Satisfactory community server up and running as of RIGHT NOW, which Calamity_Sam has kindly offered to admin for us! So jump in, swig some coffee, and build that space elevator!
Details on the server and joining instructions will be available in Discord.
This marks the first of a series of announcements coming soon, to reveal some exciting upcoming community events!
🎂🍰Hey everyone – It’s a special day! 🍰🎂
Today marks two whole years since we set up the GGHQ community, and in that time, we’ve seen countless online events, spent god-knows how many hours in voice chat, and even had the opportunity to share an actual LAN event with some of you, last year!
The support we’ve had from our little community for all the things we’ve cobbled together has been amazing, and I’m so grateful to everyone in GGHQ that has helped us sustain it for this long! We know that the last two years have been exceptionally tough for a lot of people, but it really does mean the world when we see, sometimes total strangers across the internet, going out of their way to support our clan.
And so, to everyone who joined in with our hosted events, or lurked and liked our social media posts, or even who have just made sharing their scores in our Wordle thread a part of their daily ritual: We owe all of you a great, big, huge, massive:
Obviously, 2022 so far has been quieter than usual for GGHQ in terms of community events, but we’re aiming to bring back regular online events just as soon as I’m able to get internet speeds that allow for streaming & casting some inter-community scrims! Additionally, we’ll be aiming to host another LAN later this year, and planning is already well underway for GGX22!
We’re excited to see what else lies ahead for GGHQ over the next 12 months, and as always, if you have any suggestions or ideas for what you’d like to see in GGHQ, please don’t hesitate to either DM one of the @administrators or tag us in #General on Discord!
We’re super excited to announce a GGHQ fundraiser for Get Well Gamers https://getwellgamers.org.uk/
GWG are a registered charity that take donated video games or consoles, and sends them to hospitals, hospices and other healthcare settings where young people can benefit from the positive distractions that video games provide.
We’re proposing a community creation in the form of a yearbook tea towel, made up of a compilation of your self portrait “artwork“, much in the vain of primary school tea towels you might have contributed to (or forced your parents to buy) as a child yourself.
We suggest using Paint for that added authentic primary school artwork feel
Once your individual pieces of “artwork” have been submitted, tea towels will be designed and later be made available for pre-order , and all profits from these sales will be donated directly to GWG.
Requirements for your self-portraits:
Anything vulgar will not be accepted into the final design (this is for a children’s charity, you monster!)
Please don’t worry if you don’t think you’re artistic – The incentive is to raise money for a good cause via the collaboration in the final product!
What a wild 18months or so it’s been! We’re now in a position to organise a LAN event to finally catch up with all of you IRL.
We’d love to know if you guys would be interested in attending a LAN later this year, as we’ve had a venue booked for nearly 6 months now, unsure whether or not an event could even go ahead.
Head over to the #announcements channel in Discord for more details, and let us know if you’d be interested in grabbing a ticket…

Holy moly
Looks like there are enough people (and some extra 😲) for us to host the inhouse!
Date set as:
Thursday 17th June at 20:30
There will be two teams of 5 players
Each team will have a coach in either myself or Sam
We’ll aim to drop all players a message over the coming days with a couple of questions about playtime for Dota 2/MOBA experience etc. to help us balance the teams as best we can, and then post the drafts before the evening.
We’re aiming to have the evening’s matches casted, and published as a full video at a later time.
To say I’m excited for this is an understatement!
GLHF!
Quick update following last week’s poll – It seems that F1 2019, Wreckfest and the New Among Us map took your fancy, so I’m excited to post that our next community event will in F1 2019 this Sunday from a slightly later time of 20:30.
The event will follow a Practice > Flying Qualifying Lap > Race format, and all abilities are welcome!
If there’s sustained interest we will consider a longer form championship series, though this race would not count towards it.
Copies of the game are available from here, for £3.49
Holy smokes! I can’t quite believe it, it’s our first birthday!
GGHQ’s first year has been host to dozens of events and activities, including tournaments, in-houses, scrims and community-hosted quiz nights!
We’ve seen the content creators among you jointly create and share thousands of hours of video and music from your own Twitch, Soundcloud and YouTube channels.
Discord has been our most active platform, with over 71,491 messages posted on the General channel alone.
Thanks to every single one of you all who has in any way supported our platforms, or taken part in any of the hosted events. After an especially tricky year for all of us, you’ve mutually breathed life into a wonderful online community.
Prior to announcing GGHQ in 2020, we had set a number of targets for our first year, most of which we met; though there are some that we’d still like to accomplish over the next 12months, so here’s a glimpse at some things we’re aspiring for in 2021-2022:
And, though it’s impossible to know for certain when it can happen, we’ve started preparations for our first GGHQ LAN Event!
As always our ears are open to what you guys want to see from GGHQ, so drop us a DM if you have any ideas of events you’d like over the next year!
Excited to announce that our Valheim server is now live! Go forth and adventure!
Joining details are available in the Discord Announcements channel. 🪓
RUST WIPE IS TOMORROW AND WE’VE GOT A BRAND NEW SERVER FOR YOU!
The monthly Rust wipe is tomorrow, and we’ll be taking a dip into the brand new Softcore mode (details here: https://www.rustafied.com/updates/2021/2/1/rust-softcore-the-new-game-mode)
Now is the perfect time to jump into the world of Rust if you’ve never played it before! The Softcore game mode is slightly more forgiving than the ‘vanilla’ game style, allowing for newer players an easier entry into the game!
Rust is all about persistent-world survival, and tactically attacking and defending bases for maximum loot yield. @everyone is welcome to join, and with our trial server reaching over 600 hours of total playtime in January, hopefully it’s a sign you guys will enjoy it!!
Details on how to join the server and more are available in #rust-chat, which you can get access to by selecting the :oil: reaction in #welcome-and-rules
Thanks once again to everyone that has helped on our trial server over the last month! ❤
Thanks to all your support for this year -Take a quick look back at some of the 25+ events that we ran this year.
Please take care of yourselves, and continue to look out for each other.
Wishing everyone a happy 2021!
