I'm still working on my site, however, I should have it to the point where I feel comfortable putting it out in the public soon. I guess the daunting task before is, having to populate game pages on literally every popular MMO out there to date.
As Editor in Chief, I'll pretty much be making general comments and the like regarding the industry and particular games that strike my fancy, however there are games where it wouldn't be fair for me to rate and/or comment on.
Take EQ for example. Sure I loved it and at times hated it, but for me to rate the game now after not playing it for 3 years would be unfair to both SOE and the player base. The rating system I have in place allows for four stages of the game: 1) Pre-Beta (speculation), 2) Beta (based on approved info from the Dev's or when NDA is lifted), 3) Release, 4) Current (dynamic).
The reason I've come up with this system is to be fair to all games out there. Some games have a rough start, but grow into excellent titles (Anarchy Online for example) and some have a REALLY strong start, but seem to have slowed down due to lack of content (World of Warcraft and it's serious lack of expansions within a reasonable time frame).
So, I'm looking for a few good people who are interested in taking their little piece of MMO industry and making their stamp on the internet. You would have your own section of the web pertaining to your game and would have moderation priveledges for your particular forum pertaining to your game.
I am also going to be starting up (eventually) a tech support/tech talk page within, but I figure I should get the game content up and running first.
Yes it is a Canadian based site (me being from Canada!), but anyone from any country is more than welcome to take part. I simply wanted to put out a site that allows we Canucks to offer up our opinions and views on the industry.
If interested, please feel free to contact me either by private message on this board or via email at mgauci@nl.rogers.com . What I need from you would be an article on your favorite game, the handle you wish to go by, and any other information you'd like to pass along. There is no pay, but a chance to have your own slice of MMO'dom.
Cheers
