GommeHD is a server for Minecraft, the best-selling video game of all time. Itโs one of the largest Minecraft servers in Europe and definitely the largest in Germany.
GommeHD.net is the web portal for this server. There, players can communicate, purchase in-game equipment from the store, see their stats, compare ranks, and receive support. Itโs the official hub for the GommeHD community.
The platform integrates with Minecraft servers through API that is highly sophisticated and has complex authorization mechanisms. Due to the number of concurrent GommeHD users varies widely, and the system needed to be able to easily handle high user traffic. Account data and other confidential information transmitted from game servers needed to be secured and protected from data leaks.
Our business analyst discussed the scope of the project with our client and helped to create specifications, requirements, and technical tasks. We transformed GommeHD.net into a mature, full-featured web portal with a clean, modern design and tight integration with the GommeHD game serverโs API.
After testing several content management systems for the forum, our developers recommended Xenforo for this task. Itโs a minimalist, flexible, and well-optimized platform for online communities. As for the game store, our developers created a completely custom solution, which allowed us to simplify the interface, streamline payment processes, and make the store easier to manage.
Users can access GommeHD.net with the same accounts used on the game servers.
GommeHD.net pulls real-time stats from GommeHDโs Minecraft servers and displays them in a series of charts. Users can access leaderboards and their personal and clan stats.
We designed a completely custom store for in-game items. Compared to existing solutions, itโs more lightweight and easier to use.
Xenforo is a minimalist, highly scalable forum solution. We slightly customized it to fit GommeHDโs design.
All support tickets are submitted to the Help.com ticket system, where theyโre automatically assigned to free support specialists.
Users have personal profiles, news feeds, approval scores, achievements, and statistics. Social profiles are connected to in-game profiles.
GommeHD received a new web portal that serves as the community hub and provides several long-awaited features:
CONCURRENT PLAYERS
MILLION REGISTERED USERS
