Today there has been a small move inside Turtle Entertainment. The departments of the busines unit "Gaming Communities" from now on share one floor. Up to now they had been on different floors which wasn't especially benefivial for talking to each other. This was a little bit more difficult than just moving PCs and monitors. Boxes had to be packed and carried around.

Today we can announce another small but nice feature that we have made available, the ability to "Like" news posts on the ESL that interest you through Facebook.

After many months of development, we can today officially announce that Aequitas 2 is coming. We will not make the precise release date public, in order to preserve the element of surprise. The aim of this news is simply to announce that Aequitas 2 will definitely come in the next 2-8 weeks.

This feature of course requires you to have ESL Wire installed.

Today we have moved the "My Games" feature to the Userbar, hopefully making it easier and faster for you to reach your favourite games on the ESL.
