Hasn't been on site for over a month. Declining for now. Welcome to re-apply should his interest be renewed.

Appreciate the input so far. Definitely hoping some more people throw in their feedback!

Battlefield Players,

We've decided to discontinue our Battlefield 4 servers at this time. As a result of a decline in interest in the Battlefield series as a whole (Thanks to a crappy BF1 release by EA), lack of member interest in BF4, lack of Admin interest in BF4 and lack of financial support for BF4, we just no longer see the point in dumping money into those servers.

We are very proud of what we accomplished with BF4. On May 13th, 2015 we brought up our first servers after uRock said they were shutting down and essentially kicked us out. We were told that the community wouldn't survive and there was no way we could get things started. However, ATR Gamers always succeeds on our endeavors. Our BF4 presence was strong and for over two years our community grew thanks to the BF4 following. The game brought us many new faces and talents. It also allowed what was once mostly a WoW only group to become something much more.

I have no regrets over our history with BF4 and am certainly happy to have gained new friends like Skulls, Roombroom, Chuck, Real, Smith and OONicc. This community has so many great people and is involved with so many different games I have no doubt that ATR Gamers will continue to thrive even if older games like BF4 drop off our map.

It is our hope that any members that played primarily only BF4 look at any of the numerous other games our members play and jump on in. Our Playerunknown Battlegrounds group has been rapidly expanding. We have a fair number that play Overwatch and Minecraft. There is of course always World of Warcraft if you want to sell your soul. =D 

We are also on the lookout for new games. Destiny 2 has certainly been talked about a fair amount, and we also look at smaller more... weird games like Factorio. If you have any suggestions on other multiplayer games you'd like to see our community more involved with, speak up! If you're one of those members that disconnects from our TS to join another group's server to play a game we aren't playing, speak up! We want to know what those games are and to get more people involved with them.

To all of our members, we thank you for your continued support, friendship and shenanigans. I am certainly proud of ATR Gamers and look forward to seeing you all in one game or another soon!

Aside from PUBGs, still some people playing Minecraft, Overwatch, WoW of course. Skulls still plays BF4, just not on our servers. Some ARK, some factorio. We're pretty spread out on different games lol. We've decided that we will be letting our BF4 servers expire next month as no one here wants to continue the daily chores of trying to get them going, not to mention lack of financial support or more than a small handful of member interest.

Sooooooo we are definitely looking at what games are out there, and what games are coming that we want to dive into so we can continue to grow our community.

Invite to our group on Steam has been sent.

Approved. Invites sent on Steam and Battlelog

*Also I'd like some Maple Bacon seeds to start a garden of my own.

Well since you've been on our couch since we got @OONicca room, I suppose we can find a room for you too. Welcome home.

No issue saying this is approved. @OONiccget him in platoon and stuff.

You were mistakenly marked as seeding, it should be resolved.

Seems ok for the moment. Last night at about this time the service provider informed us of a DDoS against our server, so may have been another attempt. But will monitor the situation.

Referred by @Pìkachu? I'm very confused. Didn't know he had friends. =D

I dunno. Don't we already have enough cute guys named Nick in this community? #FBStalk

Love,

Is that a beaver? lol

As it stands due to lack of interest by members and admins we may discontinue BF4 and focus on our other games once these servers come up for renewal in mid-May. Dropping to a single server is also an option, but if we're only popping it twice a week seems like a drain on the community.  We'll see how the next week plays out, and we'll have some more discussions and a decision Monday 5/8 in the evening. Regardless though, ATR Gamers isn't going anywhere. Plenty of members still have an interest in BF1, Playerunknown, MC, ARK, WOW, GTA and other games. So the community lives on lol

We're having a discussion about the future of BF4 and ATR. Servers are not set to renew until mid-May. So in a couple weeks, the BF admins will be making a final decision about if we're keeping servers or how many. More than likely a reduction if anything to save us the cost.

BF1 has finally allowed platoons to be created. All ATR members that have BF1 should connect to BF1, on the left hand side there is a new symbol for "Platoons (BETA)". Click it, Find a Platoon and enter ATR Gamers

Then just apply to join that platoon and I will add you! This will give you a prefix of "ATR" just like in BF4.

Love,

Happy

@TheWoundedsoulThanks for the application! I see you've been on TeamSpeak a few times, continue to hang out! @OONicc @The_Real_1hit or anyone else played with this guy? I'm guessing more so in Playerunknown's

Yes! Bring canals back for a weekend!

Changes are coming. With donations and interest down we already trimmed down to 4 servers instead of 6. One of those 4 we're going to be trying some things on, including Canals.

Is @Fdragongoing? He hadn't really told me lol. I'm going to be in Jersey the week leading up to LAN so I cannot give him a lift. He'll have to make the long and perilous journey on his own.
