[QUOTE="TheLe, post: 2684203, member: 3981"] For the record, I find that particular feature to be a huge hinderence. While I understand the need to have standards, this has caused me quite a number of hassles. At least a dozen of my books were submitted, only to have it in queue for days at a time. Two of my books took a week to get approved. This constantly happens, because the reviewer was not around to approve it (once was due to an emergency, so I understand, but why they don't have a second person as backup I will never know). Worst of all, they never actually *tell* you when the product is approved (which immediately activates it). So I am constantly refreshing my rpgnow page every hour to see if it is there. This screws up my press release schedules, coupon schedules, and everything else (to me, nothing is more insulting than sending a coupon to people who already purchased the book). Someone once said to me that I should not expect things to be timed so closely, and that I was a fool for planning such things that way. That pissed me off. My [url=http://www.enworld.org/shop/index.php?do=product&productid=303&source=ENWorldPressRelease][b]Headless Horseman[/b][/url] book was released last week, plenty of time for Halloween. If it were to have taken them a week to activate it (which has happened before), I would have been pissed. So yes there is a positive side to having quality standards, but having a 1-week wait for activation blows. Activation within 24 hours is what I would expect, which happens about 75% of the time... but not getting any notification just adds salt to the wound. [url=http://www.enworld.org/shop/index.php?do=product&productid=303&source=ENWorldPressRelease][imager]http://www.thele.com/thelegames/images/tn/SuMonsters_HeadlessHorseman_tn200w.jpg[/imager][/url]There are many publisher features I love about the [url=http://www.enworld.org/shop/index.php?do=product&productid=303&source=ENWorldPressRelease][b]ENworld GameStore[/b][/url].

I released my [url=http://www.enworld.org/shop/index.php?do=product&productid=303&source=ENWorldPressRelease][b]Headless Horseman[/b][/url] book last wednesday on the fly here on Enworld. Activation was immediate and painless. I released it a few minutes later to Rpgnow... but had to wait a day for them to activate it. ~Le [/QUOTE]
