It's true, Gameamp is no more.
Original home site of Gameamp Guides, one of the top GW sites.
You will be missed.

NEDM, what happened to it? It had awesome maps for Guild Wars. Lack of funds? Inactivity? Server problems?

My sources cite reduction of ad revenue and recent traffic decline, combined with the low economy.
I'm told its unlikely to return as what it was - BRB is just the domain name which still has value, the data servers are bye bye.

Hey, I'm a former Site Manager for the AmpGW side. The site has been closed due to not able to maintain the cost of the servers. A rather few bad Business Partners and then some Personal things with the three Devs of the Network has lead to the closing.

For the entire Network that isn't an option, as well.. its not. I wasn't an owner, I just managed one of the Network sites. Though the Gameamp Guides are working on a site. And I we plan to host alot of the Guides and Maps that we put on the GameAmp Network.

Kinda guessed that something like this might have happened after the BRB message was there for over a month

Shame for GameAmp to go, was an entertaining network. I guess I'll be frequenting here a bit more now.

Ah well... R.I.P GameAmp.

This can't be too true.. Have to keep an eye out ingame for amp officers + kanna and get some more facts about this..

If the amp is really found out "dead", we should have some inside info about that ingame from ampers.. At least I think we should..

Wow that is a serious bummer.

GameAmp was the best of the best and I am really sad to hear they are gone.

GameAmp covered so many games and employed so many wonderful people, it was in my opinion the best site of it's kind on the web and I know that I will miss it.

I remember back when Factions came out and everyone was angry because it was so, so, so, very, very, very, very, bad , all the "official elite fan forums" like this one, were blocking posts that had anything to do with Factions, and threatening to ban anyone that spoke anything that they didn't like; but not GameAmp. They created a Forum called the "Factions Rage" Forum and they let people speak what was on thier mind.

They did the same thing when Gina Buenoberas was named CR, a lot of people had things to say and the "official sites" censored everything while GameAmp simply contained the stuff in it's own forum. The same was true with the Loot scaling and ursan blessing issues.

We live in a time where companies no longer have to have any kind of integrity and the ideas, views and thoughts of people are easily censored and ignored.

GameAMP had integrity. GameAmp had both the courage and the intestinal fortitude to create an environment where people could communicate without censorship.

This is a monumental loss for all of us.

The virtual streeta of virtual heaven are too crowded with virtual angels tonight.

Rest in peace and honor GameAmp. You are missed ; more than you know.

A lot of people left Guild Wars back when EoTN came out, the birthday celebration is bringing a lot of them back on to check thier mini-pets and see if there is anything new.

I wasn't even aware GameAmp was gone till I googled them and was directed here.

Yes mourn. Yes Pity........

as far as no reason thats crap and if the thread is locked that will say a lot about guru

Eh, well, it's in the nature of these things to die. (Heck, I'm amazed my first ever forum, Kotorfanmedia.com, is still up and running with maybe 20-30 active members, given that that game's 5 years old) A pity, though, that even wide-spanning ones like that one are gone. I never used it, but I know the sentiment - I'm still in mourning for Computer Gaming World/Games for Windows. PCGamer just can't compare.

Hai whats goin on in dis thread

The domain dosent even lead to BRB anymore, just a dead link now so its really gone for good. I was hopin to see that site still around when GW2 hit but pfft. A friend of mine was tryin to buy the domain name but they (the owners) wouldn't sell it for any amount of money which lead me to believe they were going to do something with it, that was a couple months ago too nothing on that anymore.

This is sad indeed, i've been a member of the gameamp society for a long time, before i even came to guru. After such a long time providing the guild wars community with great maps, good screens and more, it's sad to know they are now gone.....

They will be greatly missed amongst the players

Greetings,
