History

Initially, in 2002, Millenium was a guild focused on PvP in the game "Dark Age of Camelot."
Driven by passionate members, the guild quickly became a reference in the French community, and its founder, Cédric Page, first transformed it into a non-profit organization in 2006, then into a Limited Liability Company in 2008. With the rise of broadband internet connections and the growing player base, the company diversified around several complementary areas:
  • 2006: Creation of the first version of the information site, which quickly became the number 1 information site on competitive video games and esports in France. It was also this year that the Millenium esport club was created, which included players in Warcraft III, Counterstrike, Quake 3.
  • 2007: Creation of the first Web TV on the Livestream platform to broadcast Warcraft III matches commented by Jsung, Kleenex, Shur1kn, and Lege, then later The Best & Yogo. The Web TV Millenium adventure would later move to Netgaming, Dailymotion, and Twitch.
  • 2011: Opening of the Millenium gaming house in Marseille. Players, streamers, writers, and technical teams lived and worked there, leading to strong brand growth and the emergence of many talents.
  • 2014: Millenium was acquired by Webedia and moved its teams to Paris.
  • 2016: The Millenium Web TV shut down following many departures and a transformation of the streaming market driven by the growth of independent influencers.
  • 2018: The Millenium esport club ended and the new version of the website launched, marking the brand's focus on its core sustainable activity: web media information and social network growth. The decision was made to orient Millenium internationally with the launch of many similar sites in various major languages. In this year, Cédric Page, the founder, also left Webedia and Millenium.
  • 2019: Launch of the Millenium Equipment range
As of May 2020, Millenium.org was the second most visited video game website in France, behind Jeuxvideo.com.
In October 2020, Millenium launched its site in Portuguese in Brazil and renamed itself MGG after changing its domain name to millennium.gg.
