APRIL FOOLS! Official Policy Update: Unban Purchases This is not the usual update you have come to expect from this us, but we feel like this was a needed change to modernize the community. After long discussion, Community Management has decided to make a major policy change regarding bans. The decision has been made to allow players to pay a fee of $9.99USD (see pricing update) to have any ban reversed. This decision was made after months of collecting feedback from all levels of membership of EdgeGamers. This will allow people who have spent the time and effort to improve themselves have an outlet to return to EdgeGamers once again and enjoy the community. Community Management has created a strict set of guidelines to guarantee...

CS:GO Beginner Surf Returns This is the first CS:GO server to return to EdgeGamers since the transition to CS2. Due to recent events within the Counter-Strike Community, the desire to return to CS:GO for specific servers has risen. Recently, a CS:GO Steam Page has been made publicly available, allowing anyone to easily install the game and get back to what they love. Beginner Surf was a server that players desperately wanted to see return to CS:GO, according to our CS:GO Interest Survey. Surf is a classic movement game mode that uses ramps and obstacles to compete for the fastest time to complete the course. This server will focus on easier maps, tier 1 through 3, with an 85 tick rate. The previous records from CS:GO are retained...

Game Overview: ARC Raiders If you enjoy cooperative shooters with a strong sci-fi atmosphere, ARC Raiders offers a unique take on the genre. The game drops players into a world where massive mechanical enemies known as ARC have taken control of the surface, forcing humanity to survive underground. Players take on the role of Raiders who venture back to the surface to scavenge resources, complete objectives, and fight off dangerous machines. The gameplay blends exploration, survival, and intense firefights, encouraging teamwork and careful planning rather than simply rushing into combat. One of the standout elements of ARC Raiders is its immersive world design. The environments feel large and abandoned, creating a constant sense of...

Dear EdgeGamers, A lot of the work that keeps EdgeGamers running smoothly happens behind the scenes. Don is one of the people constantly holding everything together. Most members will never see the late nights, the troubleshooting, the server-level chaos, or the sheer amount of dedication it takes to keep our infrastructure stable - but Don is always there, putting in the hours and doing whatever it takes to keep eGO moving forward. Over the last few days especially, Don has spent countless late-night hours fixing critical issues across our infrastructure, ensuring that our servers, services, and tools were operational when it mattered most. (Hint: Minecraft Launch) That level of commitment is something truly special, and our entire...
