Chapter Ten: Community Activities
Syncademy is quite a busy place when we offer scheduled raids up to five days per week. Our 6th Rotation Season, where we clear all Extreme Trials in the game, has now begun. And our Progression Raids returned to The Coils of Bahamut after finishing Alexander in the 1st Raid Series while the 2nd Raid Series at Eden has started E11S recently. As always, our Simulated-Blind format offers everyone a chance to experience the fights without any prior knowledge together.

Three months ago we announced the Raiding Seminars and little did we know what the outcome would be. It was meant to be an experiment, but apparently quite a lot of people were interested in the Seminars and especially in raid leading. We can make a note here: Huge success!
During and immediately after the Raiding Seminars we gathered a lot of feedback and processed it. This will hopefully help with the preparations for the next season. Additionally, we recruited several students who started their raid leader training for our scheduled raids.

While we are already raiding a lot together, something was still missing outside of our raids. Suggestions were made for channels as dedicated places for more relaxing and even some non-raiding content, but just adding more channels is not a robust and sustainable solution. Thus we reworked one of our channels to combine its previous usage for finding parties or players to raid with and the new additions and it shall be called henceforth Community Activities.

The idea is that players should be able to use this channel to organize or search for any kind of ingame activity. Anything from Sastasha, roulettes or even Ultimate trials to non-raid activities like treasure maps or Blue Mage Football.
Additionally there is a "calendar" with regular community-organized activities. We hope that our students will enjoy those regular activities as much as they like raiding together with us.

Let's enjoy our time together and add more activities from and for the community!
