A New PlayFirst.com For *You*! - PlayFirst Grapevine
We’re always working hard at PlayFirst to give you the best gaming experience we can imagine (and we have pretty vivid imaginations)! That’s why we’re giving you a preview of our new site. Check out: http://www.playfirst.com/beta/ to see what we’ve been up to…in addition to making great games.
So what’s new about PlayFirst.com? Here are a few highlights to look for:
Give and ye shall receive…
For a while now, we’ve noticed that people become desperate for help whenever they get stuck in any of our games. Maybe not you since you’re an expert…but we notice lots of fans asking for advice in our forums, other community sites, and even in the comments sections of game review blogs. When we asked what you wanted most in a new site, it was a way to get help on any casual game. That’s why we made PlayFirst Tips™. Its like calling a friend to say: “help me, I’m stuck!” Someone from the community will give you the tip you need to get to the next level. Why? Online karma—to get help, you have to give it, too. PlayPoints will help you keep track. You get rewarded for answering – and you get even more if you give the best answer. Stuck right now? Don’t worry, you get 100 points to start, so get in there and ask for help!
The site is the community…
In our current site, the “community” is behind a little button on the top of the page. But we know you’re much more than that! We want to make the whole site about all of you. Sign in and you’ll see your profile and avatar right on the playfirst.com home page. Plus Tips from the community are there as well. On our game pages, you’ll get game-specific tips and reviews from your friends right there – just click on the tabs to see. Finally, to learn more about your fellow members, we’ve made the new profile page fun and easy to use.
You’re first at PlayFirst…
As our CEO said a few blog posts ago, *you* are a critical part of the PlayFirst story. We always want to know what you think and we strive to make our products better with your suggestions. You can send feedback on our new site by filling out this brief survey. For those of you who got a sneak peek last week, thank you for all your input (and you’ll notice that we are already listening – check out that blue background!). We’ll keep evolving the new site over the near future, so keep it coming! We’ll be listening.
Enjoy!
