[QUOTE="jonesy, post: 5953247, member: 10324"] That would be a good start. I would have it be three links. One for new players leading to a beginners guide, one for promoting things in the current product line for existing players, and then one that simply said something along the lines of Product Line & Free Content. The front is well done. But the way the links are setup is a bit odd. First, the 'online shop' link looks like it's trying to hide and does not lead to an online shop. It takes you to the forums. You have three image links for the individual settings. Two of them, WotBS and Zeitgeist, take you to their wiki page. Of the three image links for the settings only Santiago takes you to a promotion page. The corresponding promotion pages for the other two are hidden behind the 'subscribers' link in the subscriber content information. Does Santiago have a wiki page? I think you should have all six links (wiki and promotion) at the product line front page, not hidden in the subscriber information. But then I do like the wiki pages more than the promotion pages. Better structured information. The promos are a bit artsy. Especially Santiago where I can see it might take a moment for someone to figure out whether there actually was anything on offer, or if it was just promoting something upcoming. Especially since the other two link to the wikis, which are very clear. Clear is always better than good looking, because unclear isn't good looking. [/QUOTE]
