As The Steam Evaporates, A New WeGame Emerges
Hey WeGamers,
Today we are excited to publicly announce Ignition, our digital distribution platform for games. In conjunction with our launch of Ignition, we are also happy to offer exclusive beta keys to the upcoming and highly anticipated MMO from Trion Worlds: RIFT. Continue reading below for all the details!
What is Ignition?
Ignition is a digital game distribution platform we have built on top of the existing WeGame experience. With Ignition, you can now download or instantly play hundreds of games from our top-tier game partners – for free. Our initial catalog of games includes both downloadable and browser-based games.
The WeGame client automatically manages the download, installation, and launching of our downloadable games for you, so all you need to worry about is playing! You can access our browser-based games from both the WeGame client and the WeGame site. We recommened playing the browser games through the WeGame client so you also get access to the newly added video recording and screenshot support we added for browser games.
How do I get access to Ignition?
Existing WeGame users will be invited to the Ignition beta in groups. You will receive an e-mail from us informing you that your account has been upgraded. Once upgraded to the beta, all Ignition features will be available to you instantly in the WeGame client and site without any steps required on your end. We hope to roll out Ignition to all WeGame users very soon.
New users joining from sites who have been given WeGame beta invite codes will be able to use the codes to instantly join the WeGame beta. Note: These keys are one-time use only and are limited in quantity.
RIFT Beta Key Program
We are excited to be able to offer exclusive RIFT beta keys to all users who are in our beta for Ignition. Existing WeGame users have been selected to beta test Ignition will be receiving e-mails on how they can claim their beta key. New users joining the WeGame Ignition beta using special invite keys given out to the press will receive their beta key immediately after signing up. The RIFT beta keys will give you access to one of the beta weekends that Trion Worlds will be holding this month. For more details, please visit:

In addition to the standard RIFT beta keys we are giving out, we have a handful of VIP RIFT beta keys that we will be giving out daily from today to December 18th. Every day, we will be giving out three (3) VIP RIFT beta keys, one to a random user who fits one of the criteria below:
- Existing WeGame beta user
- New WeGame beta user who joined that day
- Randomly selected user on Twitter who tweets the following message: “I want to join the #riftbeta on #wegame! http://bit.ly/wgriftbeta”

What we should actually learn, from the given pair of circumstances, determines whether we become increasingly powerless or even more powerful.
Business, a lot more than any other occupation, is really a continual managing the long run; this is a continual calculation, an instinctive exercise in foresight.

I am curious to find out what blog platform you are
working with? I’m experiencing some minor security issues with my latest blog and I would like to find something more secure. Do you have any solutions?
