Sea of Thieves is a PC and Xbox One action/adventure game that allows cross play between the two where you form a crew of up to 4 and sail around looking for treasure and having other adventures. If we have more than 4, we will split into several crews. We will make a attempts to match on the same server together with multiple ships at the start, so try to be there on time for this purpose. In order to maximize our odds of getting more than one ship on the same server, please download the Windscribe VPN client, sign up for a free account, and have it installed and ready to use for these nights. It is easy to use and gives you 10 GBs of free data each month.

Make sure to check the game on the Microsoft store app prior to community night to see if there is an update that needs to be downloaded/installed by the store app! Also, if you buy the game through the Microsoft store on either the PC or Xbox, you can install and play it on both the PC and Xbox One simultaneously. You can try it for a month for $1. See below.

Because I will not be around to MC on Sunday night due to a last minute commitment, we will be pushing our community night schedule back a night and setting Sunday as a night to choose your own game whatever that might be. We will have everyone meet in the Discord Lobby to determine what the game or games will be. Discord: http://www.osfhome.com/forums/index.php?/topic/7516-how-do-i-connect-to-the-osf-discord-server/

Future WAN/LAN game, Battlefield V, on sale for $5
Posted on Thursday August 19, 2021

Last plug for this in case you missed it! Battlefield V is currently on sale for $5 or free if you have Amazon Prime. After testing this game, we found that it has a very flexible and complete temporary (and free) private server option that would be very useful to our specific needs. Therefore, we do plan to play it at future LAN and WAN events, so make sure to get it now while it is cheap.

Calling a community night audible: RDO and BFV coop on Wednesday night instead of SoT
Posted on Tuesday August 17, 2021

Instead of doing Sea of Thieves Wednesday (tomorrow) night (August 18), we are going to push it to Sunday night (August 22) because it is a Gold and Glory weekend. That means that those of us who like gold and those of us who still need glory (reputation) can build it up a bit more that night than we can on Wednesday night. In place of it, we are going to test out Red Dead Online Call to Arms mode (coop survival) and Battlefield V coop mode. We will start the first hour with RDO then switch to BFV for the second hour. We will meet on Discord to coordinate. Unfortunately, we will have to divide ourselves up for either game since these modes only support 4 players. This is also why these games/modes will not become regular community night games. However, we may turn to them following our other community nights for L4D2 or MvM which tend to end earlier. In any case, to be prepared you should make sure that you have Red Dead Online updated and Battlefield V installed if you own them. You can currently get BFV for free through Amazon Prime or buy it for $5 on Origin. Red Dead Online is $20 on STEAM.

Battlefield V FREE with Amazon Prime, Battlefield 1 still available as well
Posted on Monday August 02, 2021

Battlefield V is now free to claim through Amazon Prime right. Battlefield 1 is also still available for free through Amazon Prime. If you do not have Prime, one strategy would be to sign up for a month ($13) then cancel. If you already own the games, you should also at least claim the codes which you can give to someone else to redeem on Origin.

No community night Wednesday July 28
Posted on Monday July 26, 2021

Given that most of us will be catching up on sleep for a few days and are probably a little burned out on games (and need to spend quality time with our families or get things done around our houses), we will forgo the Wednesday night community night this week and pick our regular schedule up again on Sunday.
