Wikia is teaming up with Playxpert, the provider of in-game community management tools, to launch the Playxpert Wikia widget.
What Playxpert does is offer an in-game tool that appears as a semi-transparent overlay that displays as you play your game. It is widely used with the MMOG market, and enables players to communicate with each other via forums and chat, as well as manage their music or monitoring system diagnostics. It's a customizable tool that lets users pick and choose what feature to include for a particular game. This widget, now combined with Wikia, will offer wikis for group collaboration efforts as well. Users can share stories and game information, track history, and leverage the larger community without leaving the game. The new widget will be available for download later this afternoon.
In other MMOG news, Curse and Guildcafe have both raised funding for their gaming networks, and further, Curse has added several social networking tools on its site, also partnering with Wikia.
