Guild Launch News
Updates - WoW Raid Mods, Aion & Rift Raids & More
We have a host of updates for various games today as well as a new team member and info regarding future updates to the GuildLaunch.com info site.
RIFT Top Guild Contest
http://launchpad.guildlaunch.com/tools/top_guilds/rift/
The RIFT Top Guild Contest continues. Last month we gave away 150 Beta Keys, 5 Copies of the RIFT Collector's Edition and 2 year long subscriptions to Ventrilo and Guild Launch.
In the January contest we have more Beta Keys, more copies of RIFT, and more subscriptions. If you didn't win last month you can win this month!
Also, every time you vote or tweet about the contest, whether your guild wins or not you are entered in the Grand Prize Drawing which is for a prize package from Doghouse Systems valued at more then $2,500.00. Doghouse Systems is building the lucky winner a gaming machine specifically optimized for RIFT and with the RIFT logo laser etched in the side!
Vote, vote, vote!

WoW Raid Tracking Addons
We have updated our Addon set for Raid Tracking. This includes DKPmon and the Raid Tracker. It appears that some people were not aware that there were Beta versions available for Cataclysm to be added to the download suites. So, we've rolled the packages back together.
In addition, we've reorganized the DKPmon download page so it is a bit less jumbled and so there is a more predictable flow if we need to release Beta versions in the future.
We have also released a new Raid Tracker with fixes for Omnotron tracking.
We are aware if an issue where Sub Modules (like EPGP) for DKPmon seem to disappear and we are close to a fix. Relogging will fix the issue if you encounter it.
WoW Armory Imports
We are doing final testing on an update for Armory imports for WoW that will move them to the new Armory. This will fix issues with the Ranks not matching and will allow us to pull in new data. We should have this functionality out early next week.
Raid Progression
We've used some CSS3 techniques to improve the styling of the Raid Progression widget across the board. If your browser doesn't support CSS3 then we've made some other small changes that still improve the styling.
Aion Raid Progression
We have added Aion raids/dungeons to the Raid Progression widget and enabled progression tracking for Aion. Information on specific bosses in the Instances is not readily available so we have entered a 'Complete' entry for each item. If you have specific boss info for any of the raids please send it to suppport@guildlaunch.com with the name of the raid and the bosses in order.
Rift Raid Progression
Raid info for Rift is pretty sparse, but we've added them by name with fairly generic icons and a 'TDB' entry for the bosses. If you have specific info please send it to support@guildlaunch.com. We will definitely update this as we know more.
New UI Designer
After a long search for the perfect blend of designer and gamer our new UI Designer started on Monday. Richard will be responsible for improving the UI of Guild Launch on all fronts in terms of usability, design and good old fashioned eye candy. You will probably see him posting in forums soon also.
New Homepage
We are currently putting the final touches on a new homepage and template for the Guild Launch signup and information pages such as the blog, ordering process, press and company info pages. This new look will be applied to all of the Guild Launch sales pages. The new page is more stylistic, provides better information about our depth of game support and is much more polished. We hope you like it and look forward to your feedback.
You can see the page here: http://www.GuildLaunch.com/new_index.php
That is all for now, we have more updates coming, so keep your eyes peeled!

Awesome stuff! The new page looks amazing and so much better than the old.
Only suggestion is for players looking for a guild, the "Find a Guildsite" is almost hidden and hard to see. Looks like something is missing just above it with "Join the" on one line and "Fight" right next to the search.
But aside from that, great job!
