August 17th, 2008

For a limited time, GameWager is giving out 1000 tokens for every server you get GW Enabled. This offer ends 8/22 so hurry your ass up!

Whoever has the most server referrals by 8/22 will get an extra 3000 tokens and will be player of the week, wicked sick!

You’ve all got your favorite servers you normally play on…the maps, the admins, the tick, the friends.  Whatever it may be, we don’t want to make you change - get YOUR favorite servers GW Enabled in less than 60 seconds. It’s completely FREE, doesn’t affect performance and won’t affect any current settings. We support ANY variation you have: Classic, Deathmatch, GunGame, Zombie, public, private, scrim, pug…..it doesn’t matter!

Simply send an email to support@gamewager.net with “GW Enable Me” in the subject OR use the “Got Feedback” tab on the top left side of the GameWager site.

In-game Menu’s & *Privacy Controls*

August 14th, 2008

After much request, we have enhanced the in-game menus to be much more user-friendly to all browers. For those that didn’t know, some GW Enabled servers are running the “full GW Mod.” This allows members to access the GameWager site without ever leaving their server. Simply type STATS, REGISTER or BROWSER in-game to quickly get the info you want! (We’re still having an issue with some browers caching the Stats page and its not updating every 10 minutes as it should be. Please bare with us as we find a solution!)

As you know, you can now browse your “Victims table” on your My Stats page to see your opponents stats and token balances. (search is coming soon!) We have implemented Privacy controls under Preferences in your My Info to restrict the information you don’t want to be seen.

 Let us know what you think! Use the “Got Feedback” on the top left of the site.

Clarity: Reward Zone changes

August 11th, 2008

As many of you have noticed, there were some changes made to the Reward Zone for how it will work long term. Structured like a raffle, you will be able to redeem your Tokens for as many Tickets as you would like for the various prize groups - which are drawn in different amounts at different times:

  • -50 Tokens per ticket, # Winners Daily (shirts, swag, etc)
  • -100 Tokens per ticket, # Winners Weekly (mice, keyboards, etc)
  • -300 Tokens per ticket, # Winners Monthly (Red Bull, Gas card, etc)
  • -1000 Tokens per ticket, # Winners Yearly (Ferrari)

We will obviously draw more tickets as the community grows so that the # of winners from each Day/Week/Month/Year is consistent to our growth.  The winners drawn each Day, Week and Month will be able to choose any available prize they want for the group they are drawn in!

So why the changes? We’ve heard tremendous feedback from our testing community who have hit on a key belief for GameWager: “Built for ALL gamers.” The biggest concern coming from most of you was the originally proposed amounts  for redeeming prizes were WAY to high and would take too long to win. This is not only true for n00bs who obviosuly do less volume in kills than good players, BUT also for gamers that are more focused on Team Play or Achievements - where the volume of Bombs, Hostages, etc pales in comparison to potential kill volumes coming from gamers that hit up deathmatch servers, etc.

 The solution is a redemption model that enables ALL gamers to win prizes. Through the “raffle type” process, n00bs and Team focused gamers still have a chance to win prizes by being able to purchase tickets for any prizes group - including the Ferrari. Good players and gamers focused on just killing can increase their odds for winning by simply buying more tickets than anyone else.

 And there you have it, a win-win for everyone….GameWager built for ALL gamers.

 We will be adding a TON of enhancements to the Reward Zone over the coming weeks before we take it live - which we can’t WAIT to do!!

 Feel free to send us feedback!

Congratulations & Welcome!

August 6th, 2008

I want to take a second to recognize a couple outstanding members of the GameWager community. First to |Reborn| Thunder and |Evo| Spike - these guys have really busted ass and helped expand the GW Enabled server list - earning them more tokens than they know what to do with! Keep it up guys.  Second, <<IEO>> Cecil900 for giving us more ideas for Reward Zone prizes than anyone else.

Finally, we want to welcome (-BS-) Godfather, теам.P^иісκ-)̲̅ζ and their whole crew to the GameWager community. We’re glad you’re here and hope you’re enjoying it!

Guys, its not too late - everyday there are plenty of opportunities to rack up easy tokens.  You all have favorite servers you regulary play on, why not earn tokens for those kills and get them to GW Enable it!? (did we mention we’ll give you 500 tokens!) I know there are MANY of you out there telling me everyday your working on one - keep it up! Soon the GW Invite Friends will be live and you’ll be able to earn more. Until then..
