Have You Checked a Games Page Lately?

The relaunch has made some of our features better than ever. One of those features is the game page. Take the 300 pound gorilla, World of Warcraft. Rather, take the GamerDNA take on WoW: http://www.gamerdna.com/game/World-of-Warcraft

The world doesn’t need another WoW news site, and so we didn’t make one. Instead, this page weaves together all the strands from our members who play the game – the experiences, the screenshots, the profiles, and a quick list of the news stories our members have voted up as being important to them. Personally, I enjoy the Stories the most.

I have a friend, we were coworkers for years, and she had me over to her house one weekend. I was telling a story from a old online game – the gist was that my guildmates had played one hell of a practical joke on what amounted to the entire freaking server. She stared at me, and called her husband in. She told me to repeat the tale. Yep, you guessed it – they had been there. Small world.

It’s a silly story, maybe, but it’s one more tie binding us together, one more common thread. How many more stories like this will I find, especially if I put that story into my profile, and it feeds into the page for that old game?
