I'm writing this at 1 in the morning so I am sure I'm gonna wake up to a ton of spelling and grammatical errors
Why did you join eGO?
It was late 2010, and I was playing around on source one day, just got off from a fun match of zombie escape server, and decided to try something new. I ended up finding the jailbreak server and decided to give it a shot. Needless to say, i ended up not having any idea of how to play. after multiple revokes, and not having any clue as to play a T, i soon began to learn the ropes, and ending up having a lot of fun. people were joking around, playing and having a blast, all in this close-knit, non-toxic, and family-friendly community. I knew right then id be back for more, and immediately added it to my favorites.
Fast-forward 2 years, and after having a falling-out with a different community (after i was declined to join eGO due to past history), I decided to once again apply. I finally got accepted into joining eGO, and since then i have enjoyed nearly 5 years playing as a member. Through all the ups-and-downs, several leadership changes, and changing over to a completely different game, eGO has been my home, and my sanctuary from everything else.
Favorite eGO memories.
There are way too many to count.
Through all of the changes, events have always stayed. and Events were where I got the most enjoyment out of eGO.
Prop-hunt was always one of my favorite events. The time when we decided to all hide as barrels in the same room was just perfect.
Absolutely hilarious when Ubermaniac came into the room, and we all immediately scattered and dispersed running around the map.
Or when we all decided to taunt the CT by becoming Phones and running around them.
There was also the day I finally became an EC under MEGA and NMsniper. hosting events from invisible man to prop hunt, royal rumbles and dog-tag scrims, ive never had more fun than seeing the enjoyment other people were having at our events. One of the best memories was the first day Drew-x became an EC. we were playing KZ on a map (had an eiffel tower on it i think?) And he ended up somehow permanently banning himself. i so wish i had a screenshot for it but i don't. The entire server just couldn't stop laughing for a solid minute, it was just absolutely priceless.
It wasn't just CSS stuff either. The time when NMSniper, a few other members and I dominated the TF2 events for certain maps, whether it be Egypt, Hide and Seek, or Royal Rumbles. that was always a blast to go out, and have fun, and showcase who the real FPS champs are
From playing late night highschool, to fragging on our Crackhouse DM server, to playing the constant events that were hosted, eGO was my home. it was my source of enjoyment and i have so many fond memories. I am glad to call eGO my home, despite its ups-and-downs.
eGO Pride - Why you choose to game here / What keeps you with eGO
when i first played on eGO servers, i was an obnoxious, immature little brat. But even then, i absolutely loved the clean and non-toxic atmosphere the server offered. It was a safe-haven from all the other servers that existed at that point, to where cursing wasn't even allowed. Despite my several rule-breakings at the start, It was love at first-sight. The people that played there, such as old jail players with the like of Clarissa, Bloody Bunny, and Captain Nighthawk, made it entertaining to play. In storm, cryptex, parvovirus, ric, and others who put so much effort into the community, all showcased how much fun you can have while gaming. With the likes of NMsniper, MEGA, Martyr and Drew, and other members whom i've made close friendships with made my time at eGO one of my best experiences of my life. The sense of comradery and family that existed went un-matched..
But mostly what drew my attention to Edge Gamers was the events. The countless and numerous events over the year are what really kept me going in eGO. Through all of the EC advisors and coordinators we had, they were always so much fun to participate in.
But even now, when everything around me seems to have changed, The sense of community still exists, just in different forms. The leadership that exists today have put countless hours into the community and have made this place an incredible place. The several new admins and players, the new ECs and ATs, as well as our frontline admins and newcomers from the ttt community, make it feel like all the same. Although i do have my troubles and disagreements with certain issues, eGO will always be where i go to whenever I need to just take a break from the world, and have fun.
