Consortium - any association, partnership, or union.

Heres an idea for you Tom .

Instead of having several different websites that might as well claim to have nothing to do with each other...

Why not link all of the OGN titles to the OGN site it self?

The point is to get rid of the several different website url's that only have their own level of aquired fame, and put them all in one place to disperse the fame equally among them all.

Still dont get it? Hows this to make things clearer...

Dark Warriors, World 1: about 570,000 players
Active: "Roughly 180k" (based on the sites home)

Dark Warriors, World 2: about 430,000 players
Active: "Roughly 120k" (based on the sites home)

Starwake: Just about 55, 500 players
Active: Roughly 400 -.- (based on counted heads)

Jurassic Jungle: about 270,000 players
Active: Roughly 400ish? (rough estimate)

This is clearly just strange and unbalanced...

Now the question is:
What if there was a way to make things a little more practical? A little more even?

Hows this...

get rid of these separate url's that have almost nothing to do with each other, and do the following:

http://www.onlinegamingnetwork.net/
From HERE, is where you will make your account. ONE account, In which you may access ANY of the OGN games directly through here, on ONE account...

For example... want to play Dark Warriors: World 1, and Starwake at the same time?

No going to www.dark-warriors.net and signnig in, then gonig to www.starwake.net, and signing in there as well...

Simply go to http://www.onlinegamingnetwork.net/, sign in on the main page there, go to the "Games" section, and launch the game of your choice... launch them all if you want...

World 1 = www.onlinegamingnetwork.com/DW1/signin/blahblahetc.php

World 2 = www.onlinegamingnetwork.com/DW2/signin/blahblahetc.php

Starwake = www.onlinegamingnetwork.com/SW/signin/blahblahetc.php

Jurassic Jungle = www.onlinegamingnetwork.com/JJ/signin/blahblahetc.php

Reformed Age = www.onlinegamingnetwork.com/DWRA/signin/blahblahetc.php

Cowboy Conflict = www.onlinegamingnetwork.com/CC/signin/blahblahetc.php

Viking Victory = www.onlinegamingnetwork.com/VV/signin/blahblahetc.php

Echo Virus 6 = www.onlinegamingnetwork.com/EV6/signin/blahblahetc.php

Now you may be thinking "What's the point in complicating things?"

I don't see it as complicating anything much.. In fact it makes things a bit easier.

Now for some examples:

You are a complete noob to OGN (We'll name you "Boromir" for the sake of this example)

So you sign up for an account at http://www.onlinegamingnetwork.net/

lets say your email is "Boronoob@gmail.com"

Not to be repepetive but... sign in to http://www.onlinegamingnetwork.net/ for the first time with your email adress...

Go check the games section, and find World one of Dark Warriors, Click on "Launch Game"... since you do not have an account, you will obviosuly see the "You do not have an existing account on this game yet, Would you like to create one? then go through the registration process (only no email to provide, since the account will be linked to your ogn account).

Repeat the process for Starwake, W2, JJ, whatever you would like.

Say you decide you no longer want your World one account after creating a Starwake account... well you could either just let it go inactive as most players end up doing between worlds and all that, or decide to "Suspend your account" on that game. Its like vacation mode, but a bit stricter (so as to not be abused).

For current accounts... thats for us who already have existing accounts, we will have to make our ogn accounts, and link each of our separate world accounts manually...

A bit more fun for this... would be to link all the chats

rather than having me as Strife [234288] of World 1 in one chat, and Strife [13 of Starwake in another, or even 2 of me in one chat room O_O

I would just be Strife based on my OGN name, and be in "OGN chat" This would bring the games much closer together, and make the entire OGN community tighter and greater. People would be more inclined to try the other worlds, and the bonus of this is... the interest of making accounts on all the games would be much easier to create.. and Feltash.. you'll like this... that means more $$$ for you!

You have top paying players all across the map.. some in w1, w2, even in SW, and JJ... If they were tempted to try the other worlds, seeing that the worlds have more to do with each other than it seems like now, they would be more incined to pay more.

Back to the chat Idea... Picture a few separate chats at www.ogn.com/chats

Choose from OGN (All worlds) chat, W1 chat, w2 Chat, SW, Chat, and JJ Chat...

anyway... just some randomness that came to mind...

Few other ideas/fragments of this idea missing, but Im tired so...

Now if something on this scale is practical, and possible, then I think it would certainly be worth it... even throw in some Reformed Age Goodness... with some Cowboy Conflict, and Viking Victory, and some Echo Virus 6 once its all established


BONUSES:
More $ for Feltash .
Closer Community.
More professional.
Could offer stone hut/stone hut equivalent deals all in one place at same time.
More players for all games.
All games gain more fame.
Great Hall members will be the "OGN Great Hall" and not necessarily differentiate per game.

NEGATIVES:
You say em, Ill list em
