Hello Xeno Gamers!
Which Witch is Witch?
What's New This Month?
Banners for monthly news posts specifically will now be games that xG recommends. The game this month is Witch It, a prop hunt stand alone game that is very promising! We've been having a ton of fun on it on teamspeak, and I'd definitely recommend others to buy it and support the devs! No, this is not sponsored.

Teamspeak! We understand many people want to only use discord, we've had about 3-4 threads asking for it, but as of now we prefer to have control, security and the added features that comes with teamspeak so we will stay with it for the time being. We would also like to ask the staff to try to use teamspeak more often and we will give you mod or admin over your division's teamspeak channels. We will not be forcing anyone because we don't think it's necessary right now, but if you are staff, please do not sway others from using our teamspeak just because you use discord. Last thing, all community events will require people to be on teamspeak, so just keep that in mind! ALSO You now get credits every 5 minutes you are in teamspeak, as long as you aren't in the AFK channel or muted.
Raffles will now be a different format. It will always be set up so Members get 1 entry, Donators 5, and Sponsors 20. On top of that, you do not need to log in every single day for your entry to the raffle, from now on you can do your maximum amount of entries in one day so you don't have to worry about it until it's drawn! You can thank @virr for the changes on entries per day as he found it might have been annoying for sponsors.
Badges have been updated again, we are adding higher quality badges for users instead of static images. Badges For any discussion related to badges, you can direct yourself here: Badges Megathread!
Ratings have changed, and we want your feedback! For new Emojis/ratings: Creating New Emoji's/ratings For discussion on the rating system, and to give feedback on what you prefer: Rating System Feedback Thread [poll]
Overwatch community nights are finally returning after a bit too long of a hiatus. Check out this thread if you're interested!
TF2 Donators! The TF2 donator powers will be changing around a bit to freshen up the perks and rework some of the powers. New perks will be added and old, less exciting perks will be removed. Higher ups are in mutual agreement that donating should not give you anything affecting gameplay, so medic-shield and no-fall will most likely be getting replaced. Don't worry, we have some cool stuff planned ;) More information really soon™
Steam donation bot is currently undergoing a repair job as it's been broken for a while. ETA at the end of this month!
Sponsors are also being updated so hold off on any sponsor donations if you're interested. I will try to sum it up for now but it will be more in detail once it comes out. Monthly subscription base, much cheaper (3-5 dollars a month). Different tiers. Anyone who is lifetime sponsor will reap all future rewards from the new sponsorship, and not have to worry about losing anything from previous sponsor rewards once we decide to remove stuff. Anyone who is a sponsor but not lifetime will get as many months rewarded to them without having a pay anything equivalent to how much they paid. $60 sponsor = 12 months of sponsorship if the sponsorship tier they want is $5/month
What's Coming Up Soon?
More Raffles! Raffles will be out in a few days, and will be out throughout the entirety of the summer once it starts!
Youtube! A video will be coming out soon, it will be a rage compilation of xG members playing different games together. If you think you have a good video to contribute, send me a private message!
CS:GO minigames has been getting slowly updated with @MineCrack and myself constantly checking out different maps and helping find broken ones to remove off our server, stay tuned as we will try to have a ton of events on CS:GO and hopefully revive our baby!
Minecraft! Our new higher ups have started working on Minecraft, more information once they're ready. Found a bug? Report it here!
Thank you for being a part of what makes xG great!
