What’s new at “Mein MMO”?
Some of you may have noticed that we had some minor issues last week. The site was unreachable for 20 minutes, and the “latest comments” displayed old articles. This was because we moved to a new server.
This is one of the advantages that our partnership with Webedia brings. Not much will change for you, the site will run more stable during peak times, but it has been relatively rare in recent months that it got so full that there were interruptions.
For us authors, the move is a significant improvement: It makes working day-to-day much less stressful and more enjoyable. The error messages when creating articles have decreased significantly, as has the “curse-and-swear rate” of a certain succubus.
Also new is author Jürgen Stöffel. He will primarily support our site with articles about MMORPGs. He prefers to write columns, reports, and guides. Jürgen will hold our flags high at various events and gatherings, attend game presentations, interview developers, and occasionally show up here and there.
Observant readers will have noticed that we recently had some specials and larger articles on “Indie MMORPGs.” Matthias Winter is responsible for that, who is back at it after a long break.
Otherwise, we have surpassed the 20,000 mark on Facebook in recent months. The social network has become increasingly important for us.
Overall, the site is developing positively. With “The Division,” we have established ourselves as a source of information, which brought us two record months in March and then again in April. We’ve never had as many readers as in spring 2016. Compared to the previous record phase around autumn 2015 for “Destiny: The Taken King,” we managed to add another 40%.
That’s why the new, larger server was so important for us.
Surely the recent growth is also due to the fact that since the beginning of the year, Tom “Ttime” Rothstein has been supporting us with his articles on shooters. But also because you dear fans are vigorously promoting us, telling your friends and fellow players about this little MMO site, linking articles, and recommending us. Please, be so kind: Don’t stop!
That’s it from the editorial team for now. Have a nice May!
If you have something to say to us, if you wish for changes to the website, let us know in the comments.
