[QUOTE="Glyfair, post: 3965606, member: 53"] In fact, that series of articles if the perfect example of the WotC web team's lackadaisical approach to being on time. Several of the articles weren't released until the end of the month in the title. When the September and Beyond article comes out in October and focuses on previews for products that have been on the shelves for weeks it isn't very useful. This could very well be part of it. I do think a large part of it is that the people writing the articles are swamped with deadlines getting 4E actually out on time. I'm sure those projects take precedence. Even taking that into account, it doesn't bode well for the online magazines. There are always going to be things that can seem higher priority. We know how the WotC drops their focus on the regular customer towards GenCon (and some other summer conventions). It sometimes seems they feel the non-GenCOn customer can take a flying leap when they are prepping for GenCon (certainly the RPGA uses GenCon as an excuse on a regular basis). Will the articles see a similar lack of attention and release when GenCon comes around? What about other major RPG releases? Will next years PHB II, MM II & DMG II cause this sort of shutdown? I'm not going to say it's definite, but I can see it being a concern. [B]Edit[/B]: I will note this last week has been barren of releases. There have been one or two articles, but nothing even like a slow week of releases. I know the WotC site has slowed down for the Christmas holiday before, but not like this. [/QUOTE]
