With the closure of our BF4 servers, this has led to a huge resource lost to bring in new members and a way to grow the ATR community.  Part of the reason is that BF4 has lost its vigor due to its age.  BF1 which we thought would’ve been the next chapter in our BF lineage failed to capture where the BF4 game and community left off.  Because of this and the rise of PUBG, BF will not be the way we will be able to grow our community. 

What we need help with is some input from our current community members.  What are some games you would like to see a bigger interest in from the community?  What are the current games that you are playing? 

Mainly we want to see where the interest is and where we can focus on bringing in more members who enjoy the same games as what we like to play or future games that we could be looking forward to playing. 

Site software has been updated to the latest version! Enjoy our eye bleeding new white/blue theme! It'll be gone in time, calm down.

Here are some of the fancy new features.

• Promoting Content - A new way to promote content in your Community internally, on Facebook, and on Twitter.
  • Directors & Leadership now have the ability to promote topic to our FB Page or Twitter account, Social Media is important i guess.
• Clubs - Clubs are a brand new way of supporting sub-communities within your site. 
  • Clubs can be created by any member and allow group forums & galleries to be created and managed without having to ask Mastric.
  • From ATR, popular clubs will get Icon support, TS channels etc.
• Reactions - Offer more fine-grained sentiments towards content than a simple up/down or 'like'.
  • Facebook Did it, We did it too...

Lots of other things are happening to.

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!
