We're changing the blog format a tiny bit. It was a product only blog beforehand. Now we want to experiment and include daily perks as well, so expect interesting stuff soon. Finally even some photos.

I can't stress enough how great is to do Playhem every day. Moreover all of that is possible because of you, ye, you. A fellow gamer reading this blog post right now. 

Thanks everyone for helping us out and fueling this community every day.

PS: On that note — here is the Derek Sivers short talk about the importance of embracing the first follower. Let's get a Playhem movement! Hopefully we're as ridiculous as that first guy in the video!

We're thrilled to announce new partnership and new part of the Operation Sports site as well — OS Matchup!

Operation Sports is the #1 sports gaming site in the world with over 500.000 visitors each month. It has great forums for sports fans of any game and awesome editorial content each day.

The new OS Matchup is built utilizing the current Playhem platform with all the awesome head to head matches & tournaments,  giving their community a totally OperationSports.com branded experience.

If you haven't seeing it yet — go and check it out.

What does this mean?

• More people to play with. Operation Sports has built very a mature and passionate community
• OS Matchup and Playhem are based on the principle of the connected communities. Players on the Matchup dashboard will see players on the Playhem dashboard + both are marked with little logo icons

• OS Matchup and Playhem are going to have different prizes
• All the good old Playhem users who helped us will be eventually rewarded in different ways since we do care about what you guys did for us

That's a big milestone for us and for our communities. Let's make it count!

We've updated the site with the small update

New changes

• Fixed the issue with the Internet Explorer 8 where users wasn't able to send support requests
• Matchup and Playhem members are now marked on the dashboard, inside the chat and inside tournament brackets
• Previous year's 10' titles are removed
• Separate page for Operation Sports prizes

Hopefully you find this useful! Enjoy!

New changes

• New Help/Support section is up
• "I need help" buttons are available for both challenges and tournaments
• Live support will begin 24/7 support by the end of the week

We do care about how our support is currently working, that why we're making those improvements which is going to allow you get help faster and in more organized fashion.

When you will login next time you're going to notice the new menu item called Help & Support.

Note. Please use it for all the support that you need and don't use support@playhem.com anymore. Emails to support@playhem.com are not going to be processed in future.

Hopefully you find this useful! Enjoy!

We've recently pushed the new version. List of changes:

Changes

• New way of integration with the Facebook. Now more reliable and a lot faster

We've recently pushed the new version. Here is the glimpse on the few things that are included.

Features

• New short domain for the emails: phm.vg
• Shorter verification emails. New format includes verification email like username.p@phm.vg (p stands for PS3). All users are still able to use old verification email.
• International support for verification emails. Spanish & Dutch users would be able to play games properly using their native language
• Ability to choose their verification email (one time, so choose wisely). Very short combinations are still possible, but they are quickly running out of stock
• New & improved look for Manage Games 
• Secret-secret improvements which will allow to do better support :)

New game manager look

• Clearly separates already added versus not added games
• New design for PS3 ID and Xbox Gamertag selection
• Yami-yami feature! Verification email shortening is included

Verification email shortening

Following numerous requests from our much loved users. You now are able to choose a short and unique verification email for both consoles. Prefix before the dot can be as short as two symbols. Prefix should be unique as well.

Important: You can change the shortening only once per account so make it count!

You don't have to change the email in order for automatic verification to work. Old emails will work as well.

New format looks like:
Unique prefix + . + p (for Playstation) @phm.vg
Unique prefix + . + x (for Xbox) @phm.vg

Enjoy! Let us know what do you think.
