History of =(eGO)=
eGO was founded on July 1st, 2006 by JohnT and Artimus with just a website and a single Day of Defeat Source Avalanche server. Soon after, Slayr357, Kendle, Kamakize Tommy, Rashell, and Dominion joined on, creating the first eGO 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 and quickly gained top rankings around the world. Slayr357 and FluffyTDestroyer have lead this charge. With a few promising games getting ready to hit the market, talks of expanding were being held in Council.
On October 10th, 2007 the Orange Box was released, containing Team Fortress 2. With that, the eGO TF2 division was officially launched. GardenGroveVW, MasterofPuppets, Baron Rojo, and Drunken Sailor were asked to spearhead this second division. This addition grew EdgeGamers by more than double its members in short time. Other Council members that have been responsible for this division are USCG Hammer and A Nurse From Texas.
With the successes in DoD and TF2, eGO tested the waters with other FPS games. Mostly Harmless was asked take the top leadership spot for a Counter Strike Source division and Kamakize Tommy took over Call of Duty. Both of those units run like well oiled machines and have very popular servers. GardenGroveVW and Drunken Sailor took responsibility of an Insurgency division, resulting in servers that quickly took the top ranked spots out of all INS servers in the world. The leadership spot was handed over to USCG Hammer in time.
EdgeGamers stepped outside of the FPS box in 2010 with the creation of an EVE division, co-lead by GardenGroveVW and Dominion. A World of Warcraft experiment is under way as well.
The March 2010 release of Battlefield Bad Company 2 was met by eGO with 8 servers in locations around the world. The new division is overseen by Artimus and Kendle.
To date, all eGO 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 also attributed to eGO's mission, which is to provide a place where gamers of all calibers, from all over the world, can meet for family friendly, respectful game play. eGO servers are branded “punk-free” and its Council often receives notes from players who only play in eGO servers, proclaiming appreciation for a place where families can game without being surrounded by the abusive stuff found on many other servers.
This clan's foundation rests on honor, loyalty, and integrity. There is a heavy emphasis on maturity, fair play, helping others and having a fun and competitive gaming experience that all can enjoy. Because of this, eGO has 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.
eGO Structure:

eG's are probationary admins with limited admin ability. These members have read and signed off on our rules and admin regulations and are full members of the clan.

eGO's are masters of mature gaming. These members know how to respond to almost all situations or how to contact the right people if they don’t. They have the admin tools to handle all situations and help teach others the way to act and admin.
