Guild Cafe, A Social Network For Gamers

I have been reading about the Guild Cafe lately, a Cambridge, Mass.-based social networking startup that is distinguishing itself from the usual crowd of social sites out there.

The Guild Cafe was created by Jon Radoff to give MMORPG gamers a social networking space outside the game so that they could continue socializing with one another. The site is different in that members use their MMORPG game handle (their alter-ego) to create a profile, unlike other social networking sites where people will typically use their name (or something close to it) as their handle. Basically this is a continuation of the social aspect of MMORPG games outside of the games themselves.

Radoff points out that they are plenty of sites out there aimed at MMORPG gamers, but that they’re built around game previews and reviews as well as game sales, none of which exists on the Guild Cafe.

The Guild Cafe was founded in December 2006 and has gotten a round of funding from IDG Ventures.
