Hey, my name Brian and I play for BR1. Here is the situation: We are a gaming company in need of gamers, not some guy in an office cubicle who has never gamed before or has no online gaming background. We cannot find them on Monster job boards!

So I post here to the actual talents. Google us and research us thoroughly if any doubt.

I am happy to say, not only is the service free, but the fact is that I did get hired as a Playlinc employee. My hiring is a testament to this offer and unlike many offers to gamers this isn?t a scam.

As a small measure of some showing or proof: A link for you on another clan site. They did not believe it at first... and we just hired one of them.

__________________________________________________ _______________________

I would like take to this opportunity to introduce PlayLinc?.

-EDIT-

We are actively looking to hire gamers for Playlinc. Imagine, you can get paid for doing what you love - gaming!

About Playlinc ?

Playlinc ? is an all encompassing free gaming "no registration required" portal for PC and console gamers with services that include:

Free game server hosting: Host games through our free high speed servers located in our data centers on both coasts. Example: Free CS, BF2, BF2142 Ranked servers! . Every member here can start their own free game server! NO bait switch tactics here, no buy this server to get another one for free. Its all free, all the time!

Built in Free VOIP servers: Don?t pay for Ventrillo or Teamspeak VOIP servers ever again.

Game area network (GAN): GAN eliminates the ?Achilles Heel? for LAN based games- that require all players to be in a localized setting or place. Turn you LAN based games into a multiplayer online game! A mod/map makers delight.

Buddy IM systems: Our convenient IM service is based on AIM or ICQ and it allows you to keep in touch with your gaming friends. But wait! It also lets you control your free voice servers( 32 players) and be able to surf websites right in the game!

Game Overlay (In game chat client): Triple Threat! The Game overlay services allows you to communicate through text or Voice with your all your AIM or ICQ friends within and outside the game, avoiding the need to minimize a game when sending or receiving an IM. But wait! It also lets you control your free voice servers (32 players) and be able to surf websites right in the game!

Follow your buddy into games : This one click service drops you into the very game that your buddies are playing within, eliminating the hassle in finding their game server.

Prizes and giveaways: Enjoy multitude of promotions and prize giveaways from our partners. Great contests like Verizon's promotion that gave away 50 Alien computers in 50 days! And Tournament's by recognized online gaming sites like the CPL, one which paid $100,000 to a single winner!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

We have a huge need for part-time employees, work from home candidates in the areas of :Game Support
Game Testers
AmbassadorsPay is up to $10.00/Hr

A. We ask that you have access to a PC and are able to get online.
B. Can dedicate a minimum of 10 hrs a week
C. Be a gamer with over 1 year of experience playing online games.
D. Must be 16 years of age or older

As posted it?s a job opportunity. I'm sure you understand if gaming publishers don't have dev's test games out; we would all be getting crappy games on shelves. Similar to that, if we do not have support in our service or testing prior to patches going out, we would have issues with our service. I understand your apprehension about stuff like this.

Plus depends if you agree - Having your own free servers that every member can host in many games. Maybe be advantage that up and coming clans may appreciate.

If you're interested, I invite you to fill our brief app at -EDIT-. Please be careful and read the information displayed once you submitted it thoroughly. Feel free to add JayPlaylinc to your AIM buddy list as he conducts interviews.

OK, the ball's in your court.

Download the all free service at -EDIT- and go host your free server today!

lol hi brian i wondered where you had come from.

Ok firstly there is no talent here :p joke

Secondly, it sounds too good to be true as you say, and as the saying goes, "if it sounds to good to be true, it usually is" which i feel applys ;)

Well i still dont get what you mean and personally im sure there is some catch. However thank you for taking the time to inform us of this.

Now its left me wondering; how does the business make their money if everything is free?

Thanks & to be fair, ill check your site out just incase im overly wrong or paranoid :p

Please do not make baseless assumptions about PlayLinc. Give it a try! Like almost every other company on the Internet, they make money off of advertisements.

its not baseless assumptions, when people say u can get paid from sitting on your backside. what would your immediate assumption be??
plenty of companies say u can earn money from home. most (if not all) are scams.

Well I guess this is allright, I don't think Brian is just a spambot or something. ^^ But I prefer a real job, for if playing online turns out to be work, it won't be as fun as it was before. You're not playing because you want to, but because you have to.

Sounds like a nice offer, but I don't need anything like that, neither job nor my own game server. Anyway, good luck to your company Brian. :)

I'm sorry, but this looks like another scam. I like how the Privacy Policy on your site completely dodges the questions: "Does PlayLinc? collect our email address or other information? What is your privacy policy?".

http://www.playlinc.com/support/faq.htm#11

The response that's posted to the above questions is: "PlayLinc? does not require any of your personal information to login". That doesn't answer the question about what personal information is collected upon registering at the site.

Then, instead of stating your company's Privacy Policy, you post a link to AOL's privacy policy. So unless you're planning on purchasing the AOL company, I think it's time for some more answers.

lol very true Element and very well noted. I agree and for me, this is not something I plan in getting involved in.

Brian, yes we know that ads pay for things on the net, but the proportion of money gained is not enough to pay someone $10 an hour consistantly.

The only way I can see playlinc making money is by them passing on details of registrants to ad companies which is probably the scenario due to playlinc avoiding the questions mentioned above ;)

So thanks but no thanks :)
