Long Time No See! :D

Hey all long time no see here on this blog, hadn't really been posting much here do to some lack of helpful guides and tips and stuff specifically for any of The GateWars servers. Do note though for some weird reason the guide I've set up on my gaming site GameSquire.net disappeared, that being said the guides are still available on the Official Gate Wars forum (click here to see it). I am still very active however on the Main Wars, and somewhat active on the forum, just to see if there's any questions regarding guides I've written there (next to doing trades), so to the best to my knowledge the guides are up-to-date, unless there's going to be a new update regarding ascending.

The GateWars Battle Corp Server is Gone?!?!?!?!

There are some recent outages that are causing a big headache at the moment, and do to major work and very little interest in the BattleCorp Server, this server may not be recovered. However there is hope for this server, if you know php, flash and mysql, and looking for an online game to run, then you are in luck. ;) Click Here to view details on the recent outages, AND the way to request to run (or help run) the BattleCorps.

How long have You been playing SGW / TGW?

On the official SGW forum, I have hinted that I didn't know how to tell how long that I have been playing SGW. One of the members given me this URL:
http://www.arvystate.net/calc2/main.php

It was pretty easy to use, you don't have to register and you don't have to use a real e-mail/user name. You just hit "Enter".

Once you have log-in, click on "Start Date" on the left panel, and log-in into www.GateWars.com in another tab or window.

Once you have logged into you GateWars account, copy your Recruiting link that is located at the bottom of the Command Center page into the "Enter valid recruitment link below" bar in arvystate.net. Then click on Calculate.

Once the page has been loaded, there's "Returned data:" below the calculate button, which tells you how long you have been playing SGW/TGW.

Also make sure you've copied the ENTIRE recruitment link in the bar because when I have only copied my recruitment number in there it says something like "You have started playing at 09:45:04 on 6. June 1971. You are playing for 14121 days, 9 hours, 49 minutes, 31 seconds." which is obviously not the actual date. SGW isn't that old, heck, the internet isn't that old.

So that's what I just recently learned is, How long have you been playing SGW. This little cool Calculator says that I have started playing at 21:18:24 on 14. April 2006. That's nearly 4 years. :)
