How long have you been around eGO?

[Lucas15]

This post is slightly inspired by the History of eGO post from last month.

I applied and got accepted on January 16, 2011, and was granted my =(e)=™ that day. I included the trademark symbol because we were still using that with our names as we pushed to trademark our branding. However, I've been around the community in some capacity for a year or so prior to joining. I used to play our Dust server (de_dust, not 2) and Jail, even though I wasn't good at the mode. All of this was done on my eMachine computer with 15-30 average fps.

With that said, I extend the question to you: how long have you been around eGO? This isn't just for members and admins. If you aren't a member, we're still curious to know!

Just hit my 6 year medal. It doesn't feel like that long ago at all. Even more crazy that eGO is still going strong after 6 years, let alone 10+ years for some others

Only been around 6 months for me. I used to play A LOT of JB on tango before it shut down. Over the summer I remembered this and looked if their servers were back up and found eGO through that. It has been a fun 6 months and love the members of the community

17.6 years now and I'm still waiting for my 16th and 17th year recognition medals! I first started out in the Counter Strike Division when I joined. I've been playing Counter Strike since it first came out along with the original Battlefield before this clan. So after 2 weeks of Counter Strike; I was pretty much burned-out from playing in the past, I then moved into the Day of Defeat Division and became real good friends with JohnT and Artimus. Then the Insurgency division started up and I jumped into that division until Insurgency 2 came out; which wasn't a free game to play, and then the Insurgency Division was dissolved. Then my friend JohnnyBlaze; who I met playing in CSS, got me into playing Call of Duty and I joined that division which after two weeks or so, it too was disolved. So I figured on joining the Battlefield Division since I've been playing and still play the original version plus all the expansions that came out, way back in the day. I think a year or so later, I met JTipton and we became very good friends and played together all the time until he passeed away last year or so ago. I still miss playing with him. We were diehard Battlefield players among other players such as BeemerMarine, Major Shrapnel and Nrkissed to name a few. I'm still part of the Battlefield Division and will never leave. But recently, I've been getting back into the CSS Division and making new =(eGO)= friends now. It sucks being 60+ years old and meeting people in our great clan to game with. I make friends; while there still in high school, then they leave for college and disappear to never be heard again. Then I have to start over and make new friends and the cycle starts all over again. I miss all those who I played with in the very beginning when I joined this clan. I understand real life gets in the way at times and gaming isn't a priority anymore. Career, marriage, children, a lot of responsibilities come forth. I wish all my past friends the very best and I hope to game with them again one day before the 'Bell Tolls For Thee'! There still on my Steam Friends list but kind of non-existant and or inactive or deceased, GOD Rest their Souls! Anywho, this ia my two cents! Peace Out and I hope to game with all of you in all the games you play and if we get a chance to play CSS or Battlefield together, I hope to take your Dog Tags a few times. LOL!

Cigarjohn Brother! Well Met and Well Said! I understand that making awards yearly is a drain on precious resources, which we should be and are very appreciative of.

Hopefully, management is preparing a 20 (XX) year award!?

Otherwise, my advice to all members... Keep. Going.

To be honest, I am not even sure. I started playing eGO 24/7 Dust 2 (no awps) many years ago. I didn't sign up to join until around 2018. Got my eG around March 2023 and my eGO a year later. Happy to be a part of the community.

Back in the day? Old Fart! We use to play for hours and hours from afternoon to the next day wee hours in the morning. CSS and Call of Duty! What great memories we had. Get back into CSS so I can own you!

I joined the same time you joined! I kind of remember your name. Been a long time! Glad were still kicking and with the same clan!
