Gaming Community Delivers Free, Fast Downloads, Leaderboards and Exclusive Content May 9, 2006; 08:10 AM
LAKE MARY, FLORIDA - May 9, 2006 - Spawnpoint, a new gaming community for serious gamers, has already earned the loyalty of hundreds of thousands of gamers in the first three months of its existence. More than 200,000 unique visitors every month are on the site, with growth of more than 30% each month.
"Gamers are drawn to Spawnpoint because of the screaming-fast, no limit downloads powered by the PEER 1 network," said Shane Robinett, founder of Spawnpoint. "They keep coming back because they can track their skill and rank on our leaderboards, we have cool and interesting content, and they know that they will find the files they want to download here first."
Launched in February 2006, Spawnpoint is the brainchild of Robinett of PHXX Networks in partnership with PEER 1 Network Enterprises (TSX-V:PIX). With PEER 1's high performance network and dedicated server offerings, and PHXX's technical and gaming savvy, the project is geared at delivering the latest in gaming downloads, news and technology, with the best network possible. Spawnpoint is a fast and powerful gaming site for serious gamers wanting to have a place to compete as well as find a community of like-minded people intent on enjoying the gaming experience.
"Unlike similar sites, we don't put a limit on how much you can download," continued Robinett. "With the PEER 1 Rapid Edge content delivery network, we can support multiple people downloading movie files as large as 1000 megs without annoying interruptions. We're here to give gamers what they want when they want it. Capping usage goes against that philosophy. Everything we do is focused on making the gaming experience the best that it can be with unrestricted access to community, competition and content."
An open community of over 300 professionally administrated gaming servers support such games as Counter-Strike: Source, Counter-Strike, Day of Defeat, Half-Life, and more.
Exclusive content written by regular contributors include "Gamer Girl" with a unique female view of gaming, and "Ancient Admin" which is written by an ex-New York beat cop with a funny and sardonic take on the world of gaming. Spawnpoint is also the place to go for information on Game Wikis, reviews, information on new releases and more. The community is powered by PEER 1's Rapid Edge Content Delivery Network that enables fast downloads of huge files consistently delivered at over 1 megabyte per second to broadband users.
