Today is MMO Guildsites 1 year birthday!

What a difference a year can make, MMO Guildsites has been improving in leaps and bounds thanks to the great support we have received from you guys! We really appreciate everything and, as we mentioned last month, we got some great prizes to hand out to you guys!

But first, a quick recap of the past year. A busy year it was, with 72 posts on this blog and over half of them to tell you about new features and updates! We pushed live over 100 new features this year, including over 30 new blocks (such as Ventrilo Status, Recruitment and Guild Stats), several major new sections (such as DKP and Guild Banks), several game specific features (such as WoW Armory integration and server status for several games) and many unique features such as the Google Map and Firefox Addon.

We are very happy with the improvements MMO Guildsites has seen throughout the year, and next year things will only get better! We already have plans for many new features and will be working hard all year to keep this site the best option out there for guild hosting.

Now, on to the prizes! =)

As we mentioned on our blog last month, we bought 6 gaming-related prizes to hand out to you guys for our 1 year anniversary. The majority of the prizes are being awarded via random drawing, where every site owner has an equal chance to win - these prizes are the top prize, the Nvidia 8600 GT, along with the Logitech X-230 2.1 Speaker System, the Logitech G11 Gaming Keyboard and the Steelpad Headset /w Microphone. The remaining two prizes, the Nvidia 7900 GS XT's, are being awarded as special status gifts.

Avalorien was our very first customer, signing up just days after we had gone live and, despite our early state, hung around through the early bugs and is still with us. They have provided us with a lot of help, bug reports and valuable feedback in our first few months and it was greatly appreciated.

Winner: Conceited
Conceited has been one of our most helpful, and also most creative customers. Along with creating one of the most popular themes and providing great feedback, suggestions and promotional support, he has come up with very creative uses for many of our features, which has helped us to think up several site enhancements.

Those are all the prizes we have to hand out this year, we wish we had more, but keep an eye out for next year as we hope to do this again with even more prizes!

We would again like to thank all the guilds who have helped us out during our first year, your feedback, suggestions and promotional support has been amazing and we truly appreciate it. =)

Update: WoW Insider covered our one year anniversary on their site and did a short review on our service, thanks WoW Insider =)
