Hey everyone, long time player and user here.

In the last couple months, we have set up a network of PS2 streamers (and a few others) called Advanced Gamers. Right now we have the largest consolidation of PS2 streamers online in the world.

We have recently started to spread our love to the world of reddit, and could really use your guys upvotes to help get this community noticed and moving in the right direction.

Through our streams we do giveaways, event tickets, station cash, etc... But the main purpose is to keep this community growing and headed in the right direction. We will be starting with a new show as well labeled "State of Auraxis", as well as analysis and discussion on latest patch notes, tournaments, players, bugs, and anything else we can think of.

If you guys could throw some upvotes to http://www.reddit.com/r/Planetside/c...ed_ps2_twitch/ It would be REALLY appreciated.

Is advertising allowed on these forums?

Well for one thing, no one is making any money off of this, so no, its not advertising.

This is a twitch system designed to house the ps2 community under one roof. It makes it easier for people to find all their favorite PS2 streamers, while building the community as a whole.

The ultimate goal for the team working on this system is to work with everyone and help get this community to the level of sc2 | LoL one day. We are working round the clock to help this e-community thrive. With one of the best launches in MMO history, there is no reason why this community cannot thrive.

Woah woah woah? I could have been making money all this time?!?

Serious question though why isn't it called PlanetSide 2, or PlanetSide 2 Streamers or something?

FortySe7en · 2012-11-25, 12:59 AM

Because we are talking about AVG as a whole. I didn't want to promote any single streamer in the thread, just the community.

Hamma · 2012-11-26, 09:51 AM

No.. I mean why is it called Advanced Gamers and not something more PlanetSide related, or is it a group for people streaming all games.

Its more than just PS2, but right now PS2 holds the most of the stream sessions.

The story behind AvG was actually a joke that started back in WoW. A few friends, including myself, were making jokes at another player who couldn't make a exploited wall jump. We started calling ourselves "advanced gamers" because we could indeed make that giant jump. After we made the guild, it turned into a big hit on our server, and we actually had about 130 players in our guild.

We then branched out into other games, and started accepting other streamers into the mix. We are also working on a website but have to jump through a lot of loopholes with twitch.tv to sort everything out.

Its actually going to be pretty cool hopefully!

Yes, bringing the PS2 stream community together, and now trying to help the foundation of it spring into a much larger entertainment source for the community to enjoy means I have an e-peen.

I hate getting caught in the act.

- Had a fantastic stream with John and Adam (@arclegger and @thejohnfavaro) tonight. Make sure to also check out Buzzcutpsycho, Sujien, Testyvenom, and all the other PS2 streamers attached to AvG! Thank you for all the views and we hope that we can continue to help this community grow. It looks as if we will be having a SC giveaway soon so stay tuned. We will also be doing an AvG challenge night, where everyone involved has to complete a series of tasks in game and will be rewarded for their accomplishments. Please continue to support sites such as PSU, as they are a main source of information into the PS2 world and without them none of this would even be possible.

Where did the rest of this thread go? We had at least 3 pages of discussion since I logged out.

It was bringing attention to things to create drama. Now we can get back to focusing on the network itself and help it build.

So you had it locked and deleted? Just what are you trying to hide by doing that? Seems a little fishy to me.
