so... the other day I saw a player called (WGO) Guilherme.... and that reminded me that swgo started from there. What happened to WGO and how/why did you guys think of separating and creating this community?
Just thought it would be nice to know "our history"

it's a shame the Search feature sucks pretty bad. I typed WGO in there, and no results showed up.

Not much to tell really...they wanted to pursue a different line of gaming without the SW element and drama that comes with HA etc so a new community was formed through Matt and a number of us departed from WGO to make this happen, keep SWBF2 alive and kicking and SWGO was born. Fast forward to the current day and her we are Otto. History in a nutshell.

I'm sure there is a richer more interesting story, but what I would say goes something like this....
Once upon a time there was WGO.
Certain members started making up their own rules and tried taking over things like teamspeak
WGO support cracked down and put an end to the "making up rules" bit
Certain members didn't like the fact that they weren't as powerful as they thought they were (or should be)
Certain members split off to form GMRZ where they could make their own rules.
WGO key financial contributors decided they didn't want to keep paying for Star Wars...they want to focus on Battlefield games
SWGO was born to keep alive the Star Wars Battlefront servers/group/community
WGO carries on doing the Battlefield thing, SWGO carries on doing the Star Wars thing, GMRZ carries on doing their thing...
I'm sure there are more colorful histories...but that is it in a nutshell from where I sit....

Pay no attention to that ^
WGO is where samonuh went through the trials of deciding whether he was male or female
