The year was 1994, the time was during the cold war of RhyDin. The groups in RhyDin were not what everyone thought they were; wishing things were different just wasn't enough. GOTHIC was created with the gamer in mind, nothing to do with rolling to see who could be better then another. But true deep passion for the art and entertainment that role-playing could give. Deep friendships and even loves were built around GOTHIC, a story never ending even today.

Now with a brand new look, we have every bit of confidence that GOTHIC will attract more people. Things can only improve from where they stand when it comes to web design. Hopefully you will all find navigation more easier to define and if you've got any suggestions please forward them to us. Now enough with the web business, let's talk about the forum again.

Some of you may be interested to know that we as a forum grew very rapidly and sheltered nearly 200 guilds with an estimation of 10-15 thousand members. You might think that's hard to believe right? Well it happened and will happen once more. As each year goes by and GOTHIC evolves into a better forum and we really hope that everyone will benefit from being a member. We have definitely gained a lot of knowledge and role playing experience throughout the years and hope to pass it to some of you who may be forum leaders in the future. The same goes with guilds. Some of you have the potential to lead massive registries and we would really like to see the forum aid you in making that happen.
