What's Next For The Multiplayer Network

As we finish bringing our network back online from the recent hosting issues, we want to give you an idea of what we are currently doing, and what we have planned, to enhance your experience with us at MPN.

We know that recent hardware issues have made using MPN very difficult at times. We first off want to apologize for any inconvenience this has caused you. We know how frustrating it can be when a website fails to work properly, and we want to assure you that we have taken significant steps to avoid future problems from occurring.

In addition to improving network reliability, we have also begun implementing some great new features and upgrades that we are excited to unveil. As you can already see, we have released a new forum design which we hope will be easier to use and navigate. The new layout coincides with our upcoming new MPN website, which we hope to unveil in the coming weeks. On top of an all new design, the new MPN features a host of new features, from a new profile status feature, to connectivity with Xbox Live and Playstation Network accounts, to improved community features - such as improved blog and forum integration. What this means for you? A more interactive and enjoyable experience when using the MPN network.

We have also completed our conversion from GTAHQ to My Rockstar HQ. The move allows us to better cover the Rockstar games, moving beyond Grand Theft Auto to now include Agent and Red Dead Redemption. We will also be changing the name of our Battlefield HQ site in the coming days, and provide improved coverage of upcoming titles including Bad Company 2 and Battlefield 3. We will also be bringing online a new server mirror located in Europe, to better serve our premium members with faster and more reliable downloads around the clock.

Finally, we are working with our partners to hopefully create a new gaming arena addition to The Clan Database, which will allow teams to compete in weekly tournaments for cash prizes. We will be releasing more information on this in the coming weeks, as we complete initial designs and begin development.

Once again we want to thank you for your continued support of the MPN Network and our family of websites. We can assure you that we will continue to improve our site to better serve you, and avoid technical problems as we have experienced over the last couple of weeks.
