Edgegamers was founded on July 1st, 2006 by JohnT and Artimus, with just a website and a Day of Defeat: Source Avalanche server. Slayr357, Kendle, Kamakize Tommy, Rashell, and Dominion soon joined on, creating the first Edgegamers Council. What was to come was the transformation of a small fledgling clan into a shining city on the hill. Additional Day of Defeat: Source servers were added soon after. These quickly gained top rankings around the world, and with a few promising games getting ready to hit the market, talks about expanding were being held in Council.
On October 10th, 2007 the Orange Box was released, containing Team Fortress 2. With that, the Team Fortress 2 division was officially launched. GardenGroveVW, MasterofPuppets, Baron Rojo, and Drunken Sailor were asked to spearhead the TF2 division. This new division grew Edgegamers by more than double its members in short time.
Seeing our success in Day of Defeat and Team Fortress 2, we decided to test the waters with other FPS games. Mostly Harmless was asked to step into the top leadership spot for a CS:S division and Kamakize Tommy took over COD. Both of those units run like well oiled machines and have very popular servers.
GardenGroveVW and Drunken Sailor have taken responsibility of the new Insurgency division and those servers have quickly taken the top ranked spots out of all INS servers in the world.
To date, all Edgegamers divisions are doing well under the guidance of the Council, but mainly because of the hard, dedicated work of the Division Leaders and Advisors who have volunteered for those important leadership roles.
These successes are attributed to our mission, which is to provide a place where gamers from all over the world, of all calibers, can meet for family friendly, respectful game play. We like to refer to Edgegamers servers as “punk-free” and often receive notes from those of you who only play in Edgegamers servers, letting us know that you appreciate having a place where your family can game without being surrounded by the abusive stuff you’ll find on many other servers.
This clan’s foundation rests on honor, loyalty, and integrity. We put heavy emphasis on maturity, fair play, helping others, and having a fun and competitive gaming experience that all can enjoy. Because of this, we have attracted the most dedicated members and experienced administrators in the gaming world. eGO has become a place where each admin can and does make a difference. No matter what real life brings, in the world of eGO, you are valued and counted on to help make things right.
I’m still an ‘E’ but, I’m getting there.
Slowly.
