Welcome!  This board was opened on 1 October, 2012. It's purpose, at a minimum, is to provide an archive of EAO History. The EAO was one of the greatest, active, friendly, full of harding charging drivers, with an outstanding reputation in the racing community. As such, I feel that it deserves more than an RIP on the bottom of a web page. All current and past eao members and friends are encouraged to add any eao related material and/or info to the archive and are of course most welcome to hang out a bit. The forum is a completely free service. (the ads started today, I guess a small price to pay for a free site) |

Hello family! Opened 1st October! On my birthday and I wasn't invited.  Nevermind that, people from above the arctic circle are known to have long ears, and when a dog whispers... So what are you guys doing these days, what games do you drive these days? I can see Shift 2 is still in use and I'm glad for that. If it wasn't for the fact that I got beated by a friend with a gamepad the only time I tried it online, maybe I would've been on some more. He isn't even particurlarly interested in car-games like I am. (Confession made. 10 x Ave Maria.) There is one thing that I like about Shift2 and that is the graphics and the feeling of being behind a real wheel in the cocpit view. All my gaming these days are in the Race Series (Race07, GTR Evolution + many other expansions), and they won't come near the physics, graphics of Shift2. Not unless you have a triple screen setup, they won't. Apart from that, I don't have so much spare time any longer, hard working now, and to keep updated with what's going on in the Race Series, my most frequented community nowadays is www.100mbitracing.com,which have so many new posts each day that I feel like I'm spending too much time on forums as is, but I'll promise I will drop by here once in a while. I'm glad someone took the initiative to start this new site, 'cause I started feeling abit homeless. Believe it or not but it's true. Ever since the days of HP2 when I achieved my EAO-tag, I've been using it in every single game I've played, and in the Race-series for instance, it's impossible for me to go change to another name by now. Everyone knows me as EAO Hector. I've been using my real name on some occations, but of the hundreds of players, there are maybe a handful that knows me as Roger aka EAO ... So I hope this site will survive and I will do my best when I have time and mental surplus to make a post now and then. Cya cowboys & friends. yeEEHAAWWwww |

Wow! Awesome opening post Sir!!!! \o/ whispering dog
It's really great to see ya & much appreciated with whatever time a hard working cowboy can spare (the song game is the best horse to ride around here).
Sorry about the birthday, my archive of info is limited.
I had an extensive career in Test Drive Unlimited from the 1st release until the final server shut-down as "cheapshades" (EAO trilegdog was always close by). Had quite a good time in it and met a lot of great people. I first met EAO canadiangirl there, then known as cgbee & dozens of other variations as she usually lost her profile about once a week. ;D
Did beta testing for TDU2, which was a blast, but wasn't very active in it after that. The game performance kept getting worse and the DLC2 update resulted in a huge FPS drop, so I rarely open it up now.
Was active in the EA Shift Hot Lap series and currently playing catch-up with the Shift2 Hot Lap series.
I have GTR2 and rFactor but never got involved with car setups and haven't had them installed in years. With rFactor there were/are numerous track/car/league mods and it was hard to figure out where to start. I think I tried maybe a demo of Race07 years ago, but didn't pursue it. I'll have to look at it again.
I bought a new copy of HP2 and gave it another try, but the community feel just isn't quite there any more. With the limited dedicated servers and the usual less than polite drivers, it feels kinda dead. Ran the new Hot Pursuit for awhile, got bored. Ran NFS World, got bored. Not much EA has released recently has held much interest for me.
The demise of the EAO forum and it's long history left a bit of a void for me. No disrepect to the new Outlaws, for I fully support their move, but I felt that at a minimum the EAO history, what little I could find, should be displayed as a tribute to the team. So, I decided to hang my hat here.
So, welcome aboard Mr EAO hector!! \o/ \o/
and a belated Happy Birthday to ya!! \o/ \o/
yeEEHAAWWwww!
