Welcome to the home of the Mad Cappers. We are a multi-gaming community which has been playing together for over 7 years now. Our members have been playing games a long time, some of us have around 25 years of gaming experience.
We play lots of different games, mainly online games but some single player. At the moment we are playing games like Everquest 2, Aion and Modern Warfare 2 on the PC, but also have a fair few members on Xbox Live playing various games.
We don't currently have any game servers, but have run Counter Strike Source and Call of Duty 4 servers. We generally rent servers as and when we need them depending on the amount of members playing certain games.

.:: APB developers Realtime Worlds enter administration ::.
Following reports that there were redundancies at Realtime Worlds, Develop Online has reported that RTW has entered administration. If no new investor can be found before an unspecified deadline, the company will enter full liquidation. Develop's sources say the game will likely live on, if only in the hands of another developer.

Studio sources say the business has been handed over to its new administrator, the corporate rescue firm Begbies Traynor Group.
Realtime Worlds now has a deadline to find an investor that can save the firm from liquidation. If no willing investor is found, Realtime World’s final game will have been All Points Bulletin – an ambitious, five-year gamble that attempted to merge the sandbox action genre with an MMO monetisation structure.
That gamble, which convinced investors to supply at least $80 million to the studio, failed to pay off.
Rumours of studio breakdown surfaced just weeks after APB launched to market. Unfortunately, this is no great surprise as sales have been poor - the game languishing at the bottom of the PC games chart, never appearing on the all-format chart.
This morning, EverQuest II Producer, Dave "Smokejumper" Georgeson, posted a Producer's Letter announcing an exciting new service for EverQuest II!

Hi there, Norrathians,
As they say, the one thing that’s always true about the world is that it changes. That’s true of the world in general, the game industry, and it’s always been true with “EverQuest II”.
The very nature of an MMO is change. We listen, we adapt, and the game grows in features, content, and fun factor as the months and years pass. Now, the expectations of gamers and the industry itself are changing around us, and it’s time for “EverQuest II” to spring forward so it can continue to expand and be successful.
In short, alongside their current monthly subscription based business model, Sony Online Entertainment are introducing specific server(s) for being able to play EQ2 completely free!
On Wednesday, the British 'newspaper' The Daily Star 'reported' that Rockstar Games were creating and publishing a new version of the GTA franchise, based on the tragedy caused by Raul Moat in Cumbria. GTA: Rothbury, so said the Star. The full article - cannily screenshotted by Rock Paper Shotgun's Alec Meer, can be found here.
Yesterday, however, came the pleasing news that Rockstar games...
Gamasutra have picked up the story that according to CEO Bobby "I'm a raving lunatic" Kotick, 70% of Activision's profit comes from outside their console sales. I think we all know what this means...
