Why Should I Join the 8th ID?

That's a very good question. We're very aware that Day of Defeat Source's realism competition seen is nearly done for. There are only a small number of communities around that are still willing to participate in realisms events with other communities. Sure, we also don't have a very active public server, but there are times when we all get together and can populate it. What sets us apart from the other communites extends beyond just DODS. We're more than DODS. We regularly play other games together.

Ready to take the plunge? Before enlisting, please read the following rules and requirements:
