Ok below is an article I’ve been working on for the new MSW blog. It’s fairly short, but hopefully enjoyable to read!
Our dear MechScape World. What do we hope to achieve with it? What are our hopes for the future? In this article I’m going to be talking about the future of MechScape World.
From humble beginnings back in (insert start date), MSW has grown from strength to strength. We’ve also been part of Jagex’s new stance with fan sites. From phone calls, concept art, Q&A’s and exclusive in game music tracks released to us. I say that’s pretty lucky. But lets not get too excited yet, the hard work is still to come. All those guides, calculators and tools for those players. So I suppose that’s goal 1? The aim to strive and provide the best guides for players.
A great site is not everything. We need a great community for players to trade, find clans, post tips and ask questions. Again, you may think pretty obvious and easy to execute, but there definitely is a fine art to running a community. So what does make a forum great? Awesome people and staff. Lets face it, that’s what we are all here for, to talk to people! So maintaing a nice atmosphere between members is crucial if we want to provide that community feel. Management. You need passionate leaders that care about the site, want to take it forward. So aim 2, a community that cares.
Last but not least…. Fun. If you don’t enjoy being on the site and forums, something is wrong. May seem rather strange to say this, but people won’t be using the site if it’s not enjoyable.
So that’s my attempt at writing a little something. I wouldn’t really call it a plan, more of a guide to success. Hopefully you enjoyed reading this, here’s to MechScape World and a bright future!
