hey Rob, we're family here, he was just teasing. obviously Treyarch will have millions of people buying this. i would have been one of them but they told me to take a hike, expats not welcome.

hey Jonny, tell em you were joking!

Completed Assassin's Creed Brotherhood Single Player achievements, appart from the one for collecting the flags. I can't be bothered for 30 gamerscore. Managed to get 780 points out of it. Can't be bothered with the multi-player because its sh*t

It appears that mygamercard.net has closed down.

Well that sucks. A little warning would have been nice. :(

Does anyone have a recent screenshot of the leaderboard before it went down? It would be good to have an up-to-date one to remember it by.

Oh well, this is another good reason to join the TrueAchievements leaderboard, if you haven't already. :)

and i'm crying. it's the end of an era, we had so much fun with that leaderboard and it has really defined a huge part of my Xbox experience. first of all, thanks to PabUK for putting it together and for the initiative. then, of course thank you to MGC for being there for us all thos years. and thirdly a big **** YOU to Microsoft for not supporting those guys. it's a disgrace. i thought all along that they were associated with MS and were actually sort of an MS off-shoot/service. guess the bean counters had other plans. like ****ing Kinect. well, at least this solves my next-console dilemma. MS will really have to do something special over the next few months to get me to buy their next machine if there is one. Sony better get ready. this is a real shame, MS just let this thing die after all the good it did to their brand.

please do keep this thread pinned and prominent...reading the 135 pages of comments has become a habit for me, i go over all of them once every few months...so many folks have come and gone, leaving comments, arguing, having a good time...it has really been a big part of our gaming landscape since 2006. so long MGC and thanks for the memories :rose: :cry:

I don't think Microsoft is completely to blame here. I had an account with MGC.net, and I was part of our leaderboard there. But I never felt any reason to go back to the site on a regular basis. TrueAchievements on the other hand has a really good system setup for gaming sessions, reviews, achievement solutions etc. I visit TA.com pretty much every day that I play Xbox.

Yes, I'm aware that TA.com uses this "screen scraping" method that MGC is against. But if Microsoft has such a huge problem with it (as MGC is suggesting), it's not hard for Microsoft to block these sites from accessing Xbox.com.

It's a shame the site has gone, definitely. But there are quite a few alternatives out there that are doing a very similar or better job.

thanks for posting that Pab....makes me cry all over again....look at us, so young and low on gamerscore...and some people there are not on the leaderboard anymore, especially my friend Vyk....

sad, really sad. i also have a screenshot somewhere, i think from 2008, i'll try to find it.

EDIT: i understand MGC wasn't the leading destination for gamers, but i never thought it was supposed to be that. i always thought they were sanctioned by MS to keep track of gamerscore and offer people an easy and friendly way to get their GT out in public. i didn't think of MGC as site at all, i thought it was something extra MS was helping us with. Guess i was naive.
