The journey continues, and the path ahead has never been clearer.
After months of planning and refinement, I am excited to unveil the complete transformation of our community. What began as Realm of Gaea has evolved into Odysseia
> Here's everything that's new:
🏛️ Server Rebrand & Rename
From Realm of Gaea to Odysseia.
Our previous name honored Gaia, the Primordial goddess and first-born of creation in Greek mythology. While the name was aesthetic and meaningful, feedback from the community revealed it didn't quite resonate as the ideal identity for who we are.
Odysseia is inspired by Homer's epic poem: the story of Odysseus, a tale of adventure, resilience, and the bonds forged through trials. Every time we game together, we're on our own odyssey: facing challenges, celebrating victories, and building something legendary as a crew.
This name captures the spirit of our community perfectly. It's memorable, it's epic, and it reflects the journey we're all on together.
The Council has been restructured. Staff roles are now clearly defined with specific responsibilities:
Head Admin - Leadership and vision Admin - Supports the Head Admin with appeals, oversight, and major decisions. Moderator - Rule enforcement and community standards Bot Manager - Technical systems and automation Engagement Team - Events, activities, and game leadership
- Check the Server Guide to learn more about each role and the people behind them.
