Hallelujah, Battlefield 1 Rent-A-Server Program October 7, 2016 Okay, we?ll admit we were off. Turns out Battlefield 1 will have rentable dedicated servers. However, you won?t be ordering from your favorite server provider like End of Reality or NuclearFallout (NFOservers). The Battlefield 1 Rent-A-Server program will allow players to purchase their own servers directly through EA. Rented servers will allow customization of game-modes, maps, and more. EA will handle server support in house as well. When needing assistance with your server you will now contact EA Support directly. Unfortunately the ?All You Need To Know? article left us with far too much uncertainty still. We are still awaiting details on how admin functionality will...

GameStop Expo 2016 Recap September 18, 2016 JohnT GameStop Expo 2016 was like being sucked into some sort of time vortex. Eight hours seemed like eight minutes. As I exited the Anaheim Center that night I was exhausted and enlightened? and wondering where those eight hours went. The most memorable experience was the EA booth playing Battlefield 1. The line to play was long but well worth the wait. Imagine playing on a monitor with crystal clear graphics with a top of the line gaming rig... Read full article...

Recapping Our New Policy On Language September 3, 2016 It’s been an interesting two weeks in EGO. The Community Management team made one of the largest changes in our community’s 10 year history. Gaming and society continues to evolve at a rapid pace. It was time for a modification to our Code of Conduct. The social norm of today is very different from that of 10 years ago. Many different things are accepted in our society than they were then. After long discussion we made the change to our first two rules in the code of conduct. Effective August 20, 2016 we began allowing swearing via any form of communication in EGO. The services included were server voice, server text, and forum text. Players can communicate how they want as long...

TF2 ROYAL RUMBLE: Members VS Leaders, August 27 August 25, 2016 It’s Time For WAR Listen up maggots, it is time for an all out war. It has been awhile since we ditched out a good ol’ fashioned ass-kickin. Rather than busting out our collection of ban hammers we felt a ROYAL RUMBLE would be the perfect venue. Saturday, August 27, 2016. Event starts at 9:00pm ET. Royal Rumble Rules Members that never been to a Royal Rumble the rules are simple. Members versus Leadership. Players dominated by a Leadership member and you will get a swift boot out of the server. Dominate a Leadership member (which we all know you won’t) grab a screenshot for bragging rights. We anticipate a full server so don’t be late. Password for the server will be...

Honest Game Trailers Tears No Man?s Sky To Shreds August 24, 2016 No Man?s Sky received tons of hype after being shown at E3. Bad news for the developers, recently it has received its share of bad press and player comments. The games playability and stability have contributed to its plummeting active player base. Peaking at over 200,000 active players on release in the most recent days the game is lucky if it cracks 50,000 players. Obviously not headed in the direction most expected, this honest game trailer by the Smosh Games network sums up the thoughts of those who may be regretting their early buy into the game. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6wsFhv_Kz38

Medal of Honor Recipients August 2016 August 21, 2016 Our community has a large inventory of awards and achievements, all of which are important tools for recognizing the innovation, hard work, and dedication of our members. While each decoration is thoughtfully handed out, none is more carefully considered than the Medal of Honor. A few times a year our Community Management team discusses candidates eligible for the award. After careful discussion, we find the members a part of our team who are truly deserving of one of our most prestigious recognition. With great respect and appreciation we would like to present the following members the Medal of Honor. Alex2142hp The decision to promote a member to leadership is never taken...

Defining Maturity For The Future: Language Rule Update August 20, 2016 Vision: The #1 gaming community on the internet. Mission: Provide the best punk free gaming experience. Culture: Professional gamers creating the #1 place to play games and make friends. In 2006 JohnT, Artimus, and the rest of the founders started our community to have a place to play games without having to encounter immaturity. The mission was simple: PUNK FREE GAMING. Ten years later the mission hasn’t changed. However, pop culture and the gaming world have faced steep changes. People play games much differently than ten years ago. People communicate much differently than ten years ago. Just because an individual communicates different from the EGO norm...
