NovaHQ annouces TheGamingHQ

We are currently in what could be considered the 3rd generation of this site. At first this site was two seperate sites run by Scott and Steve with Panthers Den and UKDF respectively. Realising they shared a common goal, they merged their sites into DFHQ.net. DFHQ.net served us well, however other titles by Novalogic and the desire for a more feature rich system meant that DFHQ was becoming outdated, hence we established NovaHQ, which is where we are at now.

But not for long, it gives me great pleasure in announcing, on behalf of the administrative team of NovaHQ, that we are working on a massive undertaking that will fundamentally change the HQ as we know it.

The project is TheGamingHQ network. Yes, as you may have guessed from the talk in the forums, were branching out, and in a big way. TGHQ will open with 4 sites!

TGHQ.net - The network homepage
Tf2HQ.net - Your source for everything Team Fortress 2!
DutyHQ.net - Your No1. source for everything Call of Duty!
NovaHQ.net - Your No1. source for DF and JO stuff.

A quick tally means that the HQ network will be covering 14 seperate games in 3 franchises! And the network system is deisgned with expansion in mind, so eventually well expand even more!

So what can you expect from these new network sites? Well to start with the features will be pretty similar to novahq.net. While we realise that each game may require different features on its own site, to begin with the sites will largely be pretty similar to novahq.net now. But there will be some noticable new features that will be up when we go live.

MapMakers rejoice, because once TGHQ opens there will be no admin approval delays for maps! We are automating the process and carrying out necessary security checks on the server! That means instead of day or weeks, your maps will be up in a matter of minutes!

Another major overhaul will be the user integration. Although not too bad at the moment, the new sites will integrate all features with user accounts in a much more cohesive way than they are now . I better be quiet about the new site now, we dont want to give away too much...

Obviously, we want to get this right and hence there is no timetable on this project, we will only release when everything is ready and when we are comfortable doing so, however we will keep you updated.

We'll post up some screenshots of the new sites sometime in the near future.

Please comment (no registration necessary) with thoughts and suggestions, its a big and exciting step for us and anything the community have to say will be given serious consideration.

TGHQ.net FAQ #1

Q. When do you expect the sites to be up?
A. We arent putting a time limit on it as we want to get it right the first time. When it does go up they will be up with content, not as blank sites.

Q. Why TF2 and COD?
A. A few series were considered, however in the end these two games came up tops, there were no set criteria however they are the games that the staff felt comfortable with and hence will make our jobs easier.

Q. Any plans for supporting more games?
A.Yes and No. We are developing the system so that it will be easy(ish) to add new sites to it so in that regard we are thinking towards the future. However, the current concern is getting TF2HQ and DutyHQ up and running.

Q. How will membership work?
A. The membership will be network wide, only you only have to register once . We also plan on rolling over NHQ accounts into the network so you wont need to register at all

Q. I want in, are you hiring staff?
A. Not currently. Although we havent ruled out the possibility of taking on staff at the moment we dont have a need for extra staff, if we need to take on staff well post in the news, so keep an eye on it if youre interested

Q. Will it affect NovaHQ at all?
A. Not Overly, there will be a switchover period when we go live but thats about the extent of it. The only other chages you may see prior to open is some cleanup stuff in preparation.

Q. Is this a statement about NovaLogic?
A. NO, The NovaLogic series of games is what made this site what it is, we will continue to support Novalogics offerings.

That's sounding awesome. At first when I heard of thegaminghq.net (in Tril's signature) I thought it was some totally different site lol.

Sounds good. Since there'll be an HQ for CoD, etc. I guess that'll probably mean more people registering, etc. because as far as I know, CoD has a realy strong community.

Is there gonna be any big overhauls on NovaHQ itself? E.g, appearance, functions, etc?

I know there will be no admin approvals for maps - yay!

Yes just like a porn site..

There will be some overhauls... but since we are still only in the talk stage we aren't going to confirm any new features until they have been implemented.

I look forward to the (revamp?) I have been checking out this site for a couple of years since I got BHD, and have quite appreciate it. I'm not too excited about TF2, but COD is cool. UO and older versions, I hope?
