Welcome to the home of the Mad Cappers. We are a multi-gaming community which has been playing together for over 5 years. 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 some MMO's (massively multiplayer online) including Age of Conan, Everquest 2, and World of Warcraft to name a few. We are also playing some smaller games like Call of Duty 4, Battlefield 2 etc.
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.
Membership to Mad Cappers Gaming is generally by invite, but get to know us on the forums or in-game and you may just get invited.

.:: Jack Thompson Disbarred ::.
The eternal moron, luddite and gaming nay-sayer, attorney Jack Thompson has been disbarred. Quite frankly he gave us lawyers a bad name.
The "eccentric" lawayer, who has in the past called violent video games "murder simulators". According to Thompson, "In every school shooting, we find that kids who pull the trigger are video gamers." Not only that, he has also put forward the belief that the popularity of Sony's Playstation and PS2 consoles that lead the gaming market for the previous two console generations amounted to "Pearl Harbour 2". In relation to GTAIV, Thompson called the game "the gravest assault upon children in this country since polio," and asked Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty to "pursue and file criminal charges against [Minnesota-based retailers] Target and Best Buy." for offering it for sale. Do a quick search in google and you will find more and more of this man's insane attempts to denounce video gaming as evil.
However, in a four-page written order, the Florida Supreme Court today affirmed a referee's recommendation to permanently disbar controversial Miami attorney Jack Thompson.
The action, which takes effect in 30 days, means that Thompson will no longer be licensed to practice law and may not apply for reinstatement. Ever.
In citing a litany of offenses, the Court noted Thompson's extensive pattern of misconduct and cited a "complete lack of remorse." The Court also quoted extensively from the June report of Judge Dava Tunis, who served as referee at Thompson's November, 2007 trial on charges brought by the Florida Bar:

Everyone in Mad Cappers remembers Planetside. It is the game where we were born; where our friendships that still remain strong five years on were forged. While Planetside still exists, it exists in name only. What remains is a husk, a shell of its former self - the continents are empty and major battles no longer occur. Many of us have wished for another MMO developer to tackle the challenges and opportunities that SOE squadered and wasted.
In an age long past, a band of extraordinary heroes embarked on an epic journey to free Norrath from the clutches of a shrouded threat. Their everlasting quest would take them to the far reaches of the globe, delving deep into the most dangerous dungeons and undertaking many daunting trials. This was the Shadow Odyssey, and the heroes were known as the Ethernauts. In their time, this epic quest came to an end, and Norrath was saved. But now ... history is repeating. It is time for a new generation of Ethernauts to retrace the steps of their honored predecessors through the ruined, rancorous and twisting regions of Norrath to rid the world of the invading scourge and destroy the renewed evil of the Shadowmen.
Funcom revealed today it has shipped more than 1.2 million units of its MMO, Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures; 800,000 of which have been sold. Of those 800,000, 415,000 have remained subscribers as of August 14.
