Gaming Fansites, such as RPGN.net Gaming News – are getting more and more professional and savvy every day.
Eve Online is what they call a MMORPG – a massively multiplayer online role playing game. If you don’t know what that is – then perhaps you’ve heard of Warhammer Online, World of Warcraft or Second Life? Still don’t know what I’m talking about – just ask your kids!
RPGN.net is a typical fan web site of a computer game called Eve Online. These days, fan sites are becoming big business. Advertisers pay good money to show off their wares and get their messages across to information hungry players from a very large network of fan sites, such as RPGN.net.
Not only do they offer players and enthusiasts a place to talk and discuss the game somewhere other than the official websites (which are usually moderated) – but fan sites also offer a different aspect or take on the game – and usually talk more openly about development issues than they would be allowed to on the official forums.
A simple, yet professionally designed gaming site doesn’t have to cost the Earth either. A typical list of features might include: Forums, Blogs, Videos, Reviews, News, RSS Feeds, Buddy Systems, Private Messaging, IRC links and Private Forums.
If you’re interested in setting up your own gaming fan site – then let us know. Most of our staff are enthusiastic gamers and would most definitely be able to help you create a thriving and buzzing community!
