The red bits are definitely too intense so I’ll probably want to get those recolored.

About 2 months ago, I announced we’d be taking some measures to improve our site traffic and Alexa ranking. At the time of that post (21 Aug) mobileweapon.net’s Alexa site rank was 381,945 and we had never gone lower than 244K.

Last week our ranking was still about 298K and we hadn’t yet implemented our SEO initiatives yet. Then yesterday, our site ranking went up to…. 16,807! with a 1 week average of 21,323! That’s a 2272.54% improvement over 381,945.

Not surprisingly, 78% of the increased traffic came from Battle Stations! (our facebook game). But what is surprising is the effect that the increased traffic had on our Alexa ranking.

We’ll be expecting to see further improvements in our site ranking and increased traffic as we roll out more facebook applications and when our new mobileweapon online portal is ready end of the year.

We haven’t released any games for quite a while. That’s because we were secretly working on this: Mobile Weapon: BattleStations! You can play the game now! just follow this link http://apps.facebook.com/battlestations/

It’s our first MMO and we’re pretty excited about it because we’ll be launching it first inside Facebook and then later on mobileweapon.net. We’ve just finished an overtime, over the weekend session to get the game finished so we can launch it this week!

We’ve been doing ALPHA testing since 2 weeks ago and I must say that the game is really fun even though it’s now just into BETA. Here are some screen shots of the game:

Explore the world!
We’ve made sure there’s plenty to do in MW:BS. If fighting all the time isn’t your kind of thing, you can go exploring or trading to make some gold and maybe find rare items. We’ve added more than 50+ ships, weapons and upgrades. There are plenty of secret items to be found as well.

Ship to Ship Combat!
Remember the characters in MW1 boarded and airship and flew to the Imperial City? In MW:BS you are the captain of your own airship. Airships are a big part of Sios and we decided it be fun if you get to fly your own and try to become the most powerful battleship in Sios!

It’s not MAWs but finally MW players will be able to engage in PvP combat!

Make sure you add the game to your Facebook account ASAP!
