I head back to college tomorrow, and with that comes a little problem...

[Hungry Tree]

My school blocks all online gaming, be it steam, Xbox live, PSN, what have you. I'll only be able to play DoD when I come home for a weekend, which probably won't be all that often.

That being said, as a new =(e)=, I was wondering if there was any way other then being active on the forums that I would still be able to contribute to the clan. This isn't a stealthy attempt to get promoted or any of that business, but rather an attempt to be able to give back to the clan that has treated me so well while I'm not able to play.

You could join the seeding team.

 

[NinjaMittens]

if he can't connect to the servers how can he seed....?

 

[uselessgreggy]

Best way to help is donations. Barring that, try to hit up the sponsors, and get on whenever you can.

Epic fail! :facewall:

Like uselessgreggy has stated. eGO can always use donations, no matter the size. Any and all sizes are welcome. If you haven't got Ventrillo, get it. This way you can sit in and talk to fellow players plus attend meetings. This way you can keep up on the latest news.

1. Donating/Buying from sponsors. Obviously this requires some money to spend. Only do this if you feel comfortable and can afford it.

2. Making signatures/avatars/sprays for forum members.

3. Giving ideas and suggestions in the Drop Box.

4. Reporting bad posts.

5. Hanging out in IRC/Ventrilo.

6. Write guides/tutorials to anything! Building your own PC (put it in the Tech section), Gaming guides, Web Design/Programming tutorials, etc. Share your knowledge with us!

7. Welcome new members in the recruiting forums across all divisions.

8. Give troubleshooting help/advice in the Tech forums.

9. Buy from CafePress (get a new mousepad for your dorm)

10. Click the Yahoo ads!

That's about all I can think of off the top of my head. I'm sure there are other ways you can contribute.

 

[uselessgreggy]

Ahh, thank you for reminding me J-Wall, I actually need a new mouse pad.

most schools...

I worked in my university's IT department and they had a couple fat pipes from a local Verizon provider. The residence halls alone used close to 60% of available bandwidth just browsing the web. They shut down basically every port over 1000 and that was still the best they could do and web loading time was horrendous at loads that high.

Anyways, I feel your pain, of course there are a few ways around the port blocking but I'm sure they'd all violate your school's terms of service somehow

In that case, see you on the weekends!

Yeah, I'm lucky that my university allows us to play online. But the IT dept. really hunts down torrent users.

I thought he could just leave his computer on, I didn't notice anywhere where he says he can't connect.

 

[Tiberias]

the topic is about how he cant connect because his university blocks all online gaming
