Since then we've worked tirelessly to bring you news about MMOs big, small, and in-between. Since that time millions of people have come to the site, thousands of comments have been left on our posts, and we've been around to cover some of the biggest moments in MMO history yet! <br /><br />We have a lot to be proud of. We followed the amazing lead up and <em><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/age-of-conan-launch/">launch of Age of Conan</a></em>, and <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2008/09/22/no-toning-down-of-age-of-conans-mature-content-says-new-dire/">have since been following</a> <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2008/10/29/murderers-and-criminals-arrive-as-patch-3-comes-to-age-of-conan/">the game's struggle</a> to <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2008/09/17/producer-and-game-director-for-age-of-conan-resigns-from-funcom/">make the players happy</a>. We took note of the <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2008/06/30/massively-interview-kingsisle-on-wizard101/">announcement of Wizard101</a>, an incredibly unique kid-aimed game. We were <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/massively-goes-to-war">in-deep with the <em>Warhammer</em> development process</a> and <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2008/09/18/warhammer-online-launches/">its subsequent explosive launch</a>, and now we're <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2008/10/30/free-character-transfers-announced-for-warhammer-online/">doing our best</a> <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2008/10/30/five-futures-of-warhammer-online/">to keep you informed</a> as <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2008/10/29/returning-war-classes-detailed-in-newest-production-podcasts/">Mythic's world continues to change</a>. The future of SOE has been on our plate since day one as we follow the development and changes to games like <em><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2008/07/19/e308-an-overview-of-free-realms/">Free Realms</a></em>, <em><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2008/07/21/e308-matt-wilson-briefs-us-on-the-state-of-the-agency/">The Agency</a></em>, and <em><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2008/10/15/massively-in-metropolis-how-your-superpowers-are-going-to-work/">DC Universe Online</a></em>. We were even around for <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2008/10/27/everything-we-know-about-star-wars-the-old-republic/">the announcement of <em>Star Wars: The Old Republic</em></a>! A year ago who would have thought that would ever happen? <br /><br />Most of all, though, we have to thank you guys. Without readers and commenters, without someone to tell us when we're doing well or let us know when we're off base, Massively wouldn't have had the runaway successful first year its had. Thank you, from all the writers and columnists as Massively.com, for coming here day after day. Thank you for making the site what it is. <br /><br />As an even bigger thank you ,starting tomorrow, <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2008/10/31/tune-in-next-week-for-massivelys-swag-filled-birthday-blowout/">we're going to be giving away gifts and prizes</a> from across the MMO landscape. Five days of swag, fun, and amusements await you Massively readers ... I hope you'll join us!<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/2008/11/02/welcome-to-massivelys-second-year/">Welcome to Massively's Second Year!</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Sun, 02 Nov 2008 12:00:00 EST.

The design is in place, our bloggers are trained and at the ready, and the password has been lifted from the site. Our brand new blog, Massively, is now live and ready for your perusal, your comments, <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/contact/comments/">your tips</a>, and your eyeballs. Here, you'll find breaking news about MMO games both upcoming and established, insightful and wisecracking commentary about your favorite worlds, tips on how to get all your characters in all those universes the best they can be, and the high level of quality you've come to expect from <a href="http://www.wowinsider.com">WoW Insider</a>, <a href="http://www.secondlifeinsider.com">Second Life Insider</a>, <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> and the Fanboy network. This is Massively, and welcome to it.<br /><br />"But wait," you say, "we've already got tons of MMO sites out there. I've got sites I read for commentary, and sites I read for news. I've got dev blogs, community forums, and even sites that sift community forums for me. There are guide sites that have their own guide sites, and everybody and his cousin is already blogging about MMO videogames. Why do we need one more MMO blog?"<br /><br />The answer is: because this is the place where all of those things come together, in one location; because of our commitment to producing top-notch original features; and because our incredibly talented staff of writers have spent as much time leveling their word-smithing skills as they have spent leveling characters in the virtual worlds we're going to be covering.<p><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2007/11/02/welcome-to-massively/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Welcome to Massively!</em></a></p><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/2007/11/02/welcome-to-massively/">Welcome to Massively!</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Fri, 02 Nov 2007 08:30:00 EST.
