Moving on...What about the actual purpose/content of the site? I'm cautiously optimistic. I think a game-focused site with Myspace-like interconnectivity and Doodle-like scheduling capability would be very useful. And over and above those specific examples, I'm delighted that WotC is finally devoting real resources to the online community, for two reasons.  One, it shows that WotC is in touch with the reality of the modern gamer. We've all moved out of the local game store/local con and onto the Internet. *This* is where we share characters and stories, discuss issues, debate rules, evaluate products, enthuse about geek culture, and hang out. As someone who wants WotC Inc. to succeed and grow, their bold move into this space reassures me.Two, I could really use those resources. Sure I'd feel a little silly typing in the URL, but if the services are good enough I'll get over myself. It's worth a tiny bit of embarrassment if Gleemax enables me to easily connect with my game group, schedule games, and track characters and the campaign. Bottom line is that Gleemax is a Good Thing for all of us, both because it presents useful services and because it demonstrates WotC's commitment to the online gaming community.-z</blockquote>
