At the beginning of winter, we at Mein-MMO look back at the last months.
Christmas is approaching, one gets thoughtful, a bit nostalgic, and plump. Especially plump. But enough about me. Let’s get to Mein-MMO, to 2016, and a touch of nostalgia.
A year ago, there were still three of us on the author team: Cortyn, Andreas, and me. It sometimes got pretty cramped, and we heard criticism from you that we were neglecting games you wanted to read more about. The direction was clear: We need more experts, more writers!
Today, we have seven authors on the team. Tom is now an indispensable part of Mein-MMO, taking on most of the work on core titles like Destiny or The Division. Jürgen joined us a bit later, and his thing is the smaller and more exotic titles in the online scene. He also maintains contacts in the industry for us. Patrick, who joined us in the summer, focuses on GTA Online and Battlefield 1. He also helped manage the big “Pokémon GO” hysteria during the summer.
With the three “new” authors, we were able to cover many more games and topics in 2016 than in previous years. And for our core titles, we could dive even deeper, providing even more reading material, tips, and curiosities. This has also significantly reflected in our reader numbers. Compared to 2015, the number of our readers has tripled.
The seventh author, Leya, joined us in November. Her topics are Overwatch, Pokémon, and everything Pokémon-related, Ark: Survival Evolved, and League of Legends. Leya also has a penchant for looking beyond the horizon. In one of her first articles, she wrote about board games. We in the editorial team are all quite excited about Leya and are sure that you will be too soon.
We still find a lot of joy and fun in the site, and we think it’s great what kind of community has developed here over the years. You discuss under the articles, share, like, and comment on them on Facebook, talk in voice chat about our work, and recommend our site. We hope that you continue to do so in the future!
We will take it a bit easier over the holidays, but we will keep you updated on the most important matters in online gaming.
To an exciting future
Your Mein-MMO team
