That makes a lot of sense , friend who lived in Scotland for few years told me the same thing To be honest my fav weather is snow/rain ...

Just stopping to say hello. I like the new fourm look. Hope everybody is doing well. I check the site from time to time but decided to post this time

I can never quit gaming. Still more fond of pc gaming than xbox or PlayStation. Got a switch for daughter a while back but personally never got into it. I now only buy through Steam, all games centralised and I can use on multiple devices. Macs supported in a limited way too. Never have time to seriously sit down and play but one day I will have more time. I loved the battlefield series but nothing since then really come across as being great. Last 12 month's been more on mobile gaming. Hardly or don't play clash of clans anymore but Lords Mobile still very active. My guild there is EDP in Kingdom 210. Have invested a fair amount but gives me what I need; a blast and a break. The idea with the site revamp was to bridge different platforms including mobile. All players need a break right? Having a neutral place to meet up for 5min could be the thing. However, as with everything. Needs to be maintained and too busy at the moment lol. I will revisit project in autumn ready for winter. Enjoying nice summer days at the moment in the middle of all work stress

At this point no FPS game is worth buying/playing for me. So I'm back to what I like to play most , strategy games (rts or turn based) mostly on weekends with a friend

Ha yes! How's James doing up North. I've been so busy with work. Haven't had the chance to do anything. Including gaming!!

I hope for winter as soon as possible Hate summer , need to find myself a cold place for those 3 - 4 months each year.

Mobile gaming taken on a lot. I mean... I havent touched a PC game for ages. Rarely use my xbox one (as i cant deal with the controls). Not sure if gaming will ever be the same as before.

The only game I'm playing these days is Division , and its only like 1-2h a day so ... I need to find a game that people actually play and arent total brain dead "tools". COD was an amazing franchise (to met people and have fun) ... 6 years ago. Today COD is "dead and gone".

Have a great break:) and a Happy New Year!

I'm late, course, all the best Dear All.

Late Merry Christmas but at least I made it before Happy New Year

Hey guys, been a while since ive posted on ED, I've been so so busy, I got a job as an IT Client Support Analyst for an Oil Company in Aberdeen in August and also passed my driving test on the 7th of January this year got my first car on Saturday a 1.2 VW Polo 6r It's awesome

About Us There have been a number of 'About Us' pages on different forums and pages. This page will be updated so do come back to check for updates. We often hear this which is just a copy and paste from the net: Today we started debating of IF a Clan and a Community differ. I say they DO differ but many people keep saying they are the same thing. For me, a Community gives its members a variety of servers/games to play on. And a Clan is specified to one game, or a game type. Also skill plays a bigger role if your in a Clan other than a community. |ED| or EpicDot.com is not a Gaming Clan but a Community. At best, casual gamers who dont really have the time for gaming - but a good 30min chill for the brain to rest. As a Community member, you are likely to be a member of several clans etc whereas a gaming clan tend to restrict to one or two. We are casual gamers aka a blast after work or 30min over the weekend. Obviously, some are more skilled and also play more. We dont care if we have 5 or 50 servers, 10 or 100 players. This motto is more for a gaming clan. We support the casual gamer and have in the past sponsored individual clans. If you are after some hardcore support and gaming, join a gaming clan. If you would like to hang out with people not just 'gamers' - add our site on to your visits! A gaming clan is also more active (usually) and online a lot more. However, as a Community we have the flexibility not found elsewhere. We have also been around for a while. Our Community now support social groups whereby Clans can create their mini community within the |ED| Community - Clever Stuff! Our tag |ED| can be used by all who are a registered member of the forum. Most of our servers are 'stock' configured. Our RCON/ Admin and DEV application forms will be online later this year. It will support your application if you have been part of the Community for a while/ active before applying. In the meantime, use this contact form. This post has been promoted to an article

Hi, back in alterIW times there was high amount of ED servers in this game, for now it's like the game is "empty" I'd like to suggest you guys to get another server, or put instead of that one "USA FFA 70k XP" ( I come to this forum when i saw the server on list ) If you're going to take into consideration this thread, i can suggest you guys to host classic Search & Destroy server with 18 slots, back again in aIW times, server was always filled up by lots lot of regularly active people having fun with others and with random players connecting to your server. If you decide to set up server like this there are a few of my pleasures; First of all if you are going to choose host, make it friendly to people from EU, because there's less amount of people using 4D1 from USA and for us USA servers are really laggy. Settings of server like in aIW, i mean 3 minutes for each round, round win limit 6, maybe disable killstreaks since S&D is not meant to gain as much frags as you can? And my most unliked things ( Dont take it that serious ) Overpowered UMP, Akimbo att. and ninja perk, No need to block this but what about lowering effects of those things? If you ask me why just classic snd server; Well, there's small amount of normal S&D servers, maybe 6-7 of them, hosted in USA or some home-made host ( Terrible shot registry, connection ) The only well working S&D server existing for this game is ''Classic S&D No Mercy For Hackers" ( I dont really remember ) unfortunately admins are not that much experienced to spot / recognize differences between hacking and being player with some basic knowlege ( wallbang spots, spawn to spawn places, or just "promod" movement like strafe jump or kind of hobbit like reloading weapon all the time when you sprint since for some people its "hacker style", the main reason why i become subnet banned from their game server ) And thats the main reason why i and other people are missing something like stock S&D server, discuss. Greetings, Arthur Sorry for my weak english grammar but i study low level of english at school.

There are now 2 aRev servers online. There will also be a couple on the 4D1 network. They will be tested the next 2 weeks. Feel free to use them and pass on.

We will return later this winter on AlterR

Have you played this before? Client is free, up to 32 slots. http://battlefield.play4free.com/en/

Decided to migrate all users and posts. There are a number of useless threads and old stuff, including 300+ spammers registered. It will all be cleaned up in due course including a new theme. Wanted the forum to run fine for a couple of weeks before we start adding groups, clean up of threads etc. Will be done over time.

Hey. I do not know what can i do to play mw 2 on epicdot servers again without having to buy the game. I see the servers are still online but how can i join ?

me no like it at all! what you guys think of this?? a mix of crysis ,halo, mass effect? looks like all but Call of duty!

There would be no point lol .. ex-aiw staff send crash packets to alterrev servers, which crash them constantly.

All time fave of mine

Not forgotten and still there. They have always been tracked by Gametracker. They were once very busy and full 24/7, later players moved on to other games and in general thousands of servers came offline. We kept our servers online but they have not been advertised that much. With the recent discount from Steam, more players may join WaW servers? Have added its own section so it is easier to discuss/share.

PS : Just got it floating around the cyber space. Thought some people like me might be interested in knowing about the letter. No idea if its original version or not. Dear Mr. Bas Timmer: We are counsel for Activision Publishing, Inc. ("Activision"). As you know, Activision is the publisher and owner of copyright in the Call of Duty® series of computer and video games, including the games Call of Duty: Modern Warfare® 2, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare® 3, and Call of Duty: Black Ops® (collectively, "COD"). We are writing to discuss your recent activities in connection with "AlterIW" and related COD online services. Activision has learned that you, under the alias "NTAuthority," are the founder, lead coder and developer of the COD: Modern Warfare 2 emulated multiplayer network known as AlterIW. It was our understanding that in or about November 2010, you ceased your involvement with the AlterIW network. It was Activision's expectation that you had done so because you acknowledged the unlawful nature of the AlterIW network, because you were aware of your potential liability for your past conduct, and because Activision had announced that "Call of Duty: Black Ops" would support dedicated servers, thus eliminating any conceivable justification for the AlterIW network. However, it has come to our attention that you recently have resumed your participation in the AlterIW network, and in fact have expanded the nature and scope of your activities. Specifically, we have learned that you have been involved in coding and developing services that permit users to use unauthorized Black Ops and Modern Warfare 3 dedicated servers (AlterOps and AlterMW3), notwithstanding that both games support dedicated servers. We also have learned that you are developing an emulated "Call of Duty" social network that directly appropriates the concepts, functions, and features contained in Activision's proprietary network "Call ofDuty: Elite." Indeed, the AlterMW3 test site that you have been demonstrating reflects that your group apparently intends to offer many of the exact same services as "Call of Duty: Elite" and to compete with that service, using hacking tools and code that infringe our client's intellectual property. We appreciate the sophistication of your services and recognize that you are a talented and dedicated coder. However, your activities are unlawful and are causing serious harm to Activision. Among other things, the operation of the AlterIW network and related networks infringes Activision's copyrights and violates Activision's rights under U.S. and international laws prohibiting the circumvention of access-control technology. By your conduct (and those of your colleagues, which you are contributing to), you also are inducing Activision customers to breach Activision's Terms of Service and End-User License Agreements and are engaged in acts of unfair competition under the laws of the United States and European Union. Additionally, your conduct causes immense harm to Activision, including because the AlterIW network enables individuals in possession of pirated copies of our client's games to participate in the multiplayer game, thereby facilitating and inducing piracy of Activision's products. As you know, the "Call of Duty" franchise is extremely important to Activision, and Activision cannot tolerate the appropriation of in intellectual property in this manner. However, in an effort to informally resolve this matter, Activision is prepared to forbear from taking legal action if you will cooperate with Activision, Specifically, you must; immediately cease any further activity related to AlterIW, AlterOps, and AlterMW3, including any further development or implementation of the AlterMW3 social network and stat tracker provide Activision with the source code for AlterIW, AlterOps, and AlterMW3 provide Activision with all locations at which the AlterIW, AlterOps, and AlterMW3 code and software are stored Should you refuse to do so, then Activision is prepared to enforce its rights in any manner it deems necessary. We trust that you will seriously consider the matters raised in this letter and carefully weigh the consequences of your refusal to cooperate and comply with Activision's demands. Please contact me to discuss the foregoing at your earliest convenience, but in no event later than the close of business on Monday, March 12, 2012. Please note that nothing contained in this letter is intended to, nor shall it constitute, a waiver or relinquishment of any rights, claims, defenses, or causes of action possessed by Activision, all of which expressly are reserved. Sincerely, Marc E. Mayer of MITCHELL SILBERBERG & KNUPP LLP

I create a thread cause sometimes there's no one on shoutbox, so i thought it would be better if i create a thread.

Thank You Gazz! and Tony , I will personally deal with you later.

Lorans, 1- out of raw curiosity, what else is to be done to make sure "more* that he is cheating? 2- i remember me n focked kicked a player for cheating, then you came saying that was you and it was not cheating, now that you say you use his computer too, do it take it that you used same cheat tools on mohammed's computer? 3-there are very good players on the server and they are not cheating, nobody even complains about them and they literally kick a$$, but almost everyone complains about mohammed.. still doesnt make sense to u? 4- for what is worth, i spend almost half my day on #2 ED server where mohammed was caught hacking, but that doesnt give me the privilege to say i play alot so i am a pro. 5- as MoS mentioned, why can't he speak for himself?

sounding like a crazy paranoid mad man

Here is a sneak preview of the wow server which is currently in development I might add more previews at any stage

I dont understand point of this video........ Your friend took it and you uploaded to prove that he is not cheating? That doesnt proves nothing. Dont get me wrong,Im not saying that he does (at least not last night when this happened),just saying that when people get accused of cheating wont accomplish anything by posting their own video of random game.

Yeah i know wattz, WoWCracck is a powerful drug but i've been clean for over a year and getting a lot more done now that i don't spend 7 hours in a raid

I like to practice it with real weapons, COD is not enough for me So i will share my experience. Let's start with this one: SIG Sauer P220

aIW2 or IW4M2 is the update for 3 Single player maps to be merged into mulitplayer as new maps, it is separate from the normal multiplayer (IW4M1) because some people might not like it as there is some bugs with in it. New maps include: Burger town (invasion), Oilrig and Gulag More info http://alteriw.net/viewforum.php?f=130

i always leave the server with the message "dont forget to add us to your faves :)" seems it might have worked sorry also forgot to add, thnx for helping me populate it Stiuart

Many are having probs with mw2 alterIWnet crashing after approx 1 hour.Here is what i did to fix mine. First download the steam_api.dll http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dll-files.shtml?steam_api Once downloaded goto your installation directory C:/programfiles(x86)/activision/modernwarfare2 and copy and replace the the steam_api.dll with the one you have downloaded. Now delete the bootstrap folder and the cache XML document(DO NOT DELETE THE CACHE FOLDER, MAKE SURE ITS THE XML DOCUMENT THAT YOU DELETE). Now join a server from the server list in the game(not from the ED server connection tool) and get 1 kill or be killed(up to you ). All being well everything should be fine and you can now play without game crashes and use the ED connection tool. http://www.epicdot.com/forum/downloads.php?do=file&id=13 If you still experience crashes then set your in game graphics settings to auto(only change the screen resolution nothing else). Thanks to Hyperion for letting me know about the DLL files, and thanks to MoS for the ED connection tool. Hope this has been helpful, any problems feel free to contact me here, steam or on xfire.

I'm all for giving people a chance to be better - most either don't take the chance or dont want to in the first place. Have u thought about a donation to help with dedicated server costs? It can be a one off or even a regular thing

Seeing that our BBC2 server is getting populated again, will make some changes like auto messages, reserved slots and other things. Also looking into public game stats and how to integrate that into our site.

We have added a RUSH server (24 slots), note that it will be closed if not used over the next month or so. The game play is great and we should try to keep it. We are also looking into the new BF3 with 64 slots... well at least 32 hehe. Just so that you get an idea what the providers will have to cope with. The new BF3 uses twice as much CPU power as the BC2 game from the server side of things. A 64 slots setup is fairly expensive but we will see.

Hey guys. Lately I remembered that thread whoops posted about no more admins being added for some reason. Well, I'd like to say that you need more admins because the more servers you have then more people play on them and 40% of them might hack so you need a bigger amount of admins imo to make sure that everything is quite and normal. plus admins for various countries would be nice since most of us and most players are from different time zones. so if for example there are 10 admins and 5 of them are from the UK and the other 5 from different parts of Europe that would not be nice. Also, as some may know Whoops removed me for clear bullshit, and I dont even know why to be honest thats why im saying its bullshit in the first place, and i would like to say to Whoops that : first off i wouldnt say this if you didnt ignore my messages you hypocrite second thing is that i want, no demand to know, why i was removed and when i can apply again

GREAT! May x3n burn in hell.

Hiya, most people playing in #4 server are getting sick of Reflective FF. So I decided to make a poll with the spirit of MW2 poll. In such a large pop server its beyond easy after all to kill yourself with airstrikes, nades, tubes, blocks, etc.

I made a little something you can add to replace Made by BaberZz. Maybe you can make it a link to ED forums, so if someone clicks on the picture, they're directed to the ED forums?

Was meant to install (fresh install) of COD4 on this laptop, I know it has played it before not great but playable. I could not find the ISO and I did not get the chance to find and then install all the patches. Does anyone know, if you copy a working COD4 folder with all the patches installed. Will it work to just run the executable? Going to take ages to install from iso again and add all the patches.

About an hour ago now, I was playing on "EpicDot.com #8 SEARCH AND DESTROY." There was a clan with no skill whatsoever (called [s0] ) abusing the fact that the spectate mode is set to free. They 'cheated' by telling each other the locations of the enemy team whenever they died. IMO, the way to resolve this is just to set the spectator mode to team-only, so that people can only spec their team when they're dead. BTW, if this thread is in the wrong forum, move it to where it's supposed to be. >_>

No scripts allowed outside default game play. But I agree probably time to specify the server rules a bit more.

Server getting busier now especially over the weekends. That is good! We will try to add auto messages on the server sat/sun.

Why? I actually forgot, I copied server #3's config and since I had to rush everything this minor setting was overlooked. But it may not be a bad idea after all. In the past people have moaned about nades, martyr and what. As you know majority of players dont like big custom changes but bog standard gameplay, we have tried to customise the server in the past - players did not like it and started to loose interest. Friendly Fire REFLECT can be good and useful, very often it will force the player to think twice before a random nade is used or an airstrike with some random strike hoping for easy kills. Although some players will moan, most people did not seem to mind as the server was quickly populated and full with 32 slots for a good while. Also note that all our MW2 servers or most of them have FF on REFLECT and they are very busy and always full @ weekends - so it cant be that bad . Anyway, I will leave it on for a couple of weeks and we can then discuss then?

Guys, I want to reinstall windows and I wonder can I save my rank55 so I dont must go from beginning... Tnx

We have had this server before (COD4 custom maps server) and it worked for a short while for then going dead. To populate as server like this it takes time, and more people need to advertise/help out. I think it is doable if we start with 5 (of the best) maps with fast redirect download and also make the maps available via ftp, download sites and torrents. If we meet up on a regular basis for a game this will also encourage players. What do you think?
