Transformed personal website into the world leader in online communities and services surrounding MMO video games, building staff of 1 into staff of 1,200. Clients included EA, SOE and nearly all MMORPG game companies and development houses from 1998–2008.“Stratics was the Big Dog.” —Steve BannonThroughout its successes, Stratics remained always an independent grassroots community dedicated to the common interests of its million-fold readership. Our mission statement: “To serve the player and assist the developer in constructing tomorrow's fantasy while facilitating the optimal gaming environment today.”This remains true through 2024. Having weathered two economic collapses—the Dot Com Crash and the Great Recession (the first of which decimated every contemporary competitor)—Stratics dwindled its traffic footprint but remains vibrantly alive, honest to its grassroots spirit; a new version of the original flagship website serves a tiny core of its readership, proudly owned by the readers who initially sustained it.Former Stratics staff have moved on to become tech and video game community representative personnel; lead designers; public relations and marketing specialists; vice presidents and C-level executives.
