Online games are often about more than the game itself. The characters people build, the groups they join, the rivalries they form, and the people they meet can become a big part of the experience.
That is especially true in MMOs and other persistent online games, where characters and communities can stick around for years.
AltNet is built around the idea of making those connections easier to keep up with. It gives players a way to connect their game characters, see what they have been doing, share with other players, and stay involved with the communities around the games they play.
The goal is simple: make game characters feel a little less like names on a login screen and a little more like the identities and histories players have built around them.
AltNet is just getting started, with more games and features to come.
