Breaking News

You should not be going on witch hunts looking for hackers. But if you do have a demo you need to send us, send it to [email protected] In the Subject Line you need to put the name of the game you took the demo in and your ingame name. In the body, you should put in text what made you think they were hacking and how sure you are they are hacking. Kills are important. Conclusive moments should be noted. Be sure to include the name of the person you are demoing and what you suspect. Thank you for your help.

Hello Gamers, it is your Server Weather Man here giving you the long-term server forecast: April will be a little slow. We predict that only about 500,000 to 600,000 people will be playing on our servers. That pesky good weather between the freezing cold of the North and the oven baked sands of the Southwest will keep your servers a little slow. And by slow, we do mean slow compared to eGO standards, which means full with a waiting time to get in around 5 minutes. May looks a little busier as the Sun starts to force everyone to turn on their Air-Con and wish they had a rig with some sweet cooling in it like you find at iBUYPOWER. June, July and August are going to be booming. Schools out bringing loads of pubs trying to hide...

If you are not MAUL verified we cannot set up your admin on any Steam Game. Click on the big round MAUL button or look for it in the tabs across the top of the page. We are running close to 40 servers ATM and we cannot keep up with 40 DB's. So we use MAUL. If you do not get verified, there is nothing we can do to help you. ONLINE GAMES GET IT! Ever notice that there is a two week dip in numbers when new big games come out? Nothing like dominating a Stand Alone game. Then what do you do? Turn back to CoD, TF2, DoD, CS, or INS? Yep, that's right. Welcome back pumpkin. Sorry about the 50 bucks you unloaded on that one play thru game.

Congratulations to Atten! TF2 eGO member Atten has dedicated himself to seeding and recruiting on our Valve Maps rotation server. He has made it his home away from home. Through his efforts, this server has risen into the Top 50 TF2 servers. We appreciate his efforts and have awarded him with TF2's first DL Commendation medal.

Why did we post the Big eGO news? Why did MAUL go down? Why why why? Well we will tell you why: HostGator decided to cut our webhosting off because we were using too much bandwidth. This is despite having a Professional Account with them. They did not tell us in advance, they did not give any warning, they just turned us off. We asked why and they said something to the effect that we were using more than our fair share of bandwidth. So, we scrambled around and got another server from SoftLayer and we are going to do our own hosting for MAUL and some other things that keep eGO running like a fine tooled machine. It took Kendle and Dominion over 9 hours of work to get the server, set up the server, get DB's online, line out each...

One Big eGO! It seems eGO keeps out growing our infrastructure. There will be more news about this as things come back on line on a more powerful server. We need more power!

We will have a Royal Rumble! An EPIC BATTLE! Normal Team Death Match. Using all weapons. One rule, if a member of the leadership knives you, you need to leave the server! Leadership does not have to leave if you guys knife us, only if we knife you. You then leave the server in SHAME! :D You ARE able to return! But you must disconnect from the server.

Someone has broken into the eGO casino. They have been described by eye witnesses as: "scary" "dressed in green hoodies" "awesome" "ninja-like" "glowing in the dark" "terrifying" "they fly" "smelled like pizza" After following lead after lead, we finally have found our culprits. We need your help. Every time we are close to capturing them, they escape. For your help, you will be rewarded... handsomely. We also have reason to believe that some council members have possibly been aiding and abetting these criminals. To bring them in for questioning, we are also offering a BONUS award for each of them. THE BOUNTY: receive 4,000 casino dollars for every 4 members of TF2 leadership you dominate receive 50,000 casino dollars and...

Quick reminder for all admins! If you have admin in 1 game, you have admin in all games eGO has to offer. This will be regarding ANY source game we are in. CoD runs on a different admin database, in order to get admin for CoD4-5, you must contact the CoD leadership IE the Division Leaders. So if you are an admin, with admin, and you are in our servers without our tags, and you don't respond to the other admins request, you may get banned. Please, if you have admin and you are in our servers make sure you are wearing our tag. We've had a couple of issues with admins not wearing our tags in the severs. They obviously got banned and we sorted it out later, but we really want to prevent this, its not good to see our members getting...

Server News - 24/7 Search and Destroy - ROTATIONAL Ok, you guys asked for it. Now you've got it. :D Last night we changed the 24/7 Vacant TDM Server to 24/7 S&D -ROTATIONAL Server. Here's the skinny on the server.... Search and Destroy. Multibomb (so everyone can carry a bomb) (to keep people from hijacking the bomb and camping in a corner) Friendly Fire is off (to keep team killers at bay) Spectating is set for Team only. Plant time and defuse time is exactly the same as CAL rules. Plant time is 5 Defuse time is 7 Helicopters and Airstrikes are enabled.. so go wild :) (and no we won't change that) Every 3 rounds it changes sides. First to score 6 round wins.. wins the map. (at least I think thats what we set it to... My memory is...

CAL CPL DOWN? UPDATE From Iceman: CAL is Cyberathlete Professional League CPL is Cyberathlete Professional League UPDATE From GGL WIRE: It looks like this may be the end of CPL. There has been a lot of people losing a lot of money. For instance, there was ALOT of Saudi money invested in CitiBank and it basically evaporated. It turns out there is ALOT of oil and diminished demand. We do not know who in the EAU bought CPL but they undoubtedly are invested in other areas besides CPL (or if they are only invested in gaming, they really really really like video games). Sponsors are cash poor. So companies like CPL with budgets and salaries are taking it on the chin. Where as organizations like eGO, whose salaried employees...
