New Staff Members, Part Deux

5:49 AM EST

And now the formal introduction for two very important people that's been part of HeavenGames staff since December of 2001, but we couldn't announce it until their uber-secret project was done:

Phill Phree
New seraph of Age of Empires Heaven.

Peter
Head "Angel" at Age of Empires Heaven.

Before we invited them to join Age of Empires Heaven, both of them had worked on Age of Empires Manor. Along with an active group of AoEH forumers, they kept the AoE Community alive in our corner of the 'net. Only true dedicated fans would accept the gruelsome & tedious task of managing Age of Empires Heaven and its few thousand pages. None of us had any idea how long this project was going to take (until last week - it's over 8 months.), due to the size and complexity of the site. They had taken every single page of the site, looked at it, organized it, recoded it, and gave it a new template. In the process they went through 5 whole years of cruft and cleaned it up. Even now there are still some pages and even entire sections that are being worked on - so keep an eye on the site. You'll see new and improved things appearing on the site in the future.

Welcome aboard, and thanks for all the work you have already done for Age of Empires Heaven. Good luck!

New HG staffers & promotions

5:34 AM EST

It is my honor to introduce these new staffers to HeavenGames. All have come highly recommended by their peers inside and outside of HeavenGames Staff:

Cherub Luke
Better known as Luke Gevaerts on the forums, Luke will be sharing the duties of moderating Age of Kings Heaven's scenario design forum. If you have been a part of the AoK scenario design community, you will recognize the name. Luke is also the news editor and a scenario designer for the Dragon Design Gaming Network.

Myll_Slaghter
Before Myll_Slaghter became staff, he was already AoKH's training camp coordinator. He'll still be the training coordinator, but will assume new duties as well: moderating most of AoKH's general forums, as well as assisting in the operation of AoKH's ladder.

CenturionZ_1
Highly respected by the AoE Community, he has been credited with "keeping things alive" at AoE Heaven and Age of Empires Manor (Whom we merged with) He will be moderating AoE Heaven's forums.

Congratulations!

And now, two honorary dippings in Red:

Dark Side of Day and Winston are now Angels of HeavenGames, for their continued dedication & quality of work on AoKH's ladder, founding the training camp, and keeping AoKH very well alive with tournaments and events. Congratulations, and you guys have our gratitude for all the time you have spent to work on AoKH.
