People in Lochac

Membership Levels

Lochac began as a small number of enthusiastic gamers in 1980. By September 1985, there were 95 members (excluding Aneala Scir). In September 2014, this membership grew to 1,710.

If you would like to become a member, or renew your membership, you can go to the Australian Registry or New Zealand Registry online.

From August 2006 (the oldest Kingdom record available) to August 2014, Lochac grew 205% from 830 to 1,702. A significant proportion of this growth occurred in the 2012-13 financial year, and this increase may correspond to the time that membership and insurance changes occurred in Lochac (causing non-member participants to join to avoid excess fees for non-members at all events and trainings).
