MMOLeader.Com - Building better gaming communities one guild leader at a time

Massively Multiplayer Online games are social games. At the center of this social gaming phenomenon is the construct commonly known as a guild. At the heart of every good guild there is an aspiring guild leader. Our goal is to aid these people.

Our site will have exclusive articles and reviews of leadership training material, books, and courses from minds like John P. Kotter, Brian K. Williams, and many others. Our reviews will add extra insight on these leadership concepts and how they can and are regularly applied to guilds in MMOs. We also plan on doing interviews of highly successful guild leaders, leadership professionals, and influential personalities in the MMO space. Lastly the core of the site will provide resources, news, and links to tools and services that help form and maintain guilds.

It is crucial for the interactions on this site to stay very professional. We have a team that is dedicated to keeping the forums civil and the comments to articles to stay constructive. The two core types of communication will be Q&A style on specific issues and higher level discussions on leadership concepts. No arguing about who's advice is better. No arguing about who's leadership style is superior. Moderation here is important to keep the tone correct. We don't really plan on having any "off topic" type forums, although that's still kind of up in the air.

Best of all, our site will be free. We are still thinking about making areas or features within the forums section to be a one time or subscription based (like 10 dollars a year, really cheap), but most of those decisions haven't been made yet. We are doing this for the community, not with the goal of making "easy money".

UPDATE 06/16/2008 - Right now MMOLeader.Com has been officially announced and word is starting to spread about the site. We encourage everyone to start telling your friends about us as we continue to develop the beta and fill it with starting content. Once we have enough people signed up for the newsletter, then we will invite people into a private test before the public sees it. Finally, once we feel the site is ready, we will launch it for the general public.

"The world needs more people providing initiative in useful ways."

"A very ambitious project, for which I will be the first to pledge my support! To my knowledge, this has never been done before, and innovation is something to be commended."

"I think a website geared to the advising, training, and overall organizational administration behind the guild and its officership is a unique endeavor that many guilds could utilize"

"Wow! That's an excellent idea for a website. I dont think anybody has ever done anything like that before."

"Overall though I think it's a great idea. In fact, studies have shown that the closest 'real-life' occupation to being a leader of an ingame guild is a first line manager. Manager's share tips and training in their employment, so why shouldn't there be a similar way to pool these resources for gamers?"
