RafMEK

RafMEK is a popular online community and forum dedicated to the discussion of the *Mass Effect* franchise, created by BioWare and published by Electronic Arts. Founded in 2006, the site originally served as a fan-run hub for *Mass Effect* players, developers, and enthusiasts to share updates, theories, and gameplay strategies. Over time, it expanded beyond just the *Mass Effect* series, becoming a broader gathering place for fans of BioWare’s other games, such as *Dragon Age*, *Star Wars: The Old Republic*, and *The Elder Scrolls Online*.

The community is known for its active and engaged members, who frequently participate in discussions about game lore, character development, and narrative choices. RafMEK also hosts events, such as cosplay competitions, fan art contests, and live-streamed discussions with developers and streamers. The site features a dedicated wiki, which serves as a comprehensive repository of lore, character profiles, and in-depth analyses of the *Mass Effect* universe.

In addition to its primary focus on *Mass Effect*, RafMEK includes sections for other BioWare titles, allowing fans to connect over shared interests. The community has played a significant role in shaping fan theories, influencing in-game changes, and fostering a sense of camaraderie among players. While the site has evolved with the franchise, it remains a key resource for both longtime fans and newcomers seeking to explore the rich world of *Mass Effect*.
