This summer, the mega-guild social site will be changing its focus onto a new venture (and company name) called <a href="http://www.xconomy.com/2008/04/18/capturing-the-personal-essence-of-gaming-an-interview-with-gamerdna-ceo-jon-radoff/">GamerDNA</a>. This new site will have much more than GuildCafe offers currently, and will cater to a larger audience of <a href="http://www.xbox.com/en-US/">Xbox</a> gamers, and eventually all platforms. This all stems from the fact that the site has recently received a $3 million Series A investment from Boston's <a href="http://www.flybridge.com/">Flybridge Capital Partners</a>.<br /><br />According to GamerDNA's founder and CEO Jon Radoff, "the idea behind <a href="http://www.gamerdna.com/">GamerDNA</a> is to provide a means of identity-a place where players can record all the stories around all of the cool stuff they've done, be it achievements, accomplishments, or experiences they've had." So in essence, it will help broaden the players experiences in-game, as well as help other players experience games they may not play yet on a much more personalized level. All of this done in a larger scope, reaching a wider audience than GuildCafe alone could do targeted at the MMORPG market alone.<br /><br />[Thanks Sam!]<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2008/04/18/guildcafe-expands-its-horizons-with-gamerdna/">GuildCafe expands its horizons with GamerDNA</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Fri, 18 Apr 2008 17:00:00 EST.
