Official City of Heroes Facebook Page…

… is now live, courtesy of our friends in the US. Go and declare yourself a Fan.
Don’t forget, there are a few other official Pages for our games on Facebook, which I listed way back in June.
Regarding Twitter, Facebook, etc

This is me, separating work life and personal life via the Internet. On its own, this isn’t that big a deal, so feel free to ignore.
In case you didn’t know – and you probably don’t – I have two Twitter accounts.
One (rockjaw) appears right here on this blog, and is basically the work one. I leave Thwirl running at work and occasionally zap updates in there, usually about how much more stuff I have to edit today (okay, that’s just been these past few weeks). If you’d like to ‘follow’ me as another Twitter user, you’re more than welcome. (In fact, considering Leipzig’s just around the corner, now might well be a good time to start.)

Official, and non-official, Facebook stuff
Posted by Rockjaw in Community, MMO-related on June 7th, 2008
I’ve noticed in the last few days that a few people have been becoming ‘fans’ on Facebook of this City of Heroes Page. While it’s cool that people want to be fans of COH, I wanted to point out to y’all that it’s not an ‘official’ page. (There isn’t an official ‘Page’ yet, but there will be.)
One of the big issues with Facebook Pages is that anyone can create them, and they don’t get vetted as official or not. As a result there are lots of well-meaning fans who create Pages that are totally unofficial. While there’s nothing wrong with this, I just wanted to point you to some Pages (and Groups) that I know are official, because we set ‘em up. If you’d like to become a fan/join a group, and want to get the inside scoop direct from the source, then join these. Read the rest of this entry »
The power of social
Posted by Rockjaw in MMO-related, Pimpin' on March 30th, 2008
The other day Seb Streiffert, our English language Aion Community Coordinator, asked for the 100 or so members of the official Aion: The Tower of Eternity Facebook group to recruit a few friends. He wanted to get the group up to 500 people.
To give the group an incentive to recruit people, he promised the release of some new concept art if the number was met.
First thought: really smart idea from a really smart guy. (Seb’s a textbook example of showing potential employers that you’re super-passionate about the job before you even apply for it; he ran an excellent Aion fansite before we headhunted him for the job.)
Second thought: will they make it?
I guess I shouldn’t have wondered, because in just under two days the group’s grown past 500 members, and Seb – true to his word – released not one but two pieces of concept art as a thank-you. Here’s number one, and here’s number two.
If you’re on Facebook, you too can get sneaky peeks at cool Aion stuff by joining the official group for the game. So there.
You said what?
