[QUOTE="Warden, post: 2604100, member: 11006"] Questions like that can't be answered right now because things are still in development, but perhaps this analogy will help explain the intention better. [I]NOTE: I'm not affiliated with RPGNow, just trying to help everyone understand some of the discussions as to WHY decisions have been made to make some changes for the better.[/I] Wal Mart might not build a seperate store for their lower selling goods, but they will put different items in a different AISLE, rather than cram everything together in one location. RPGNow probably has 4000+ products from over 300+ vendors, some of whom include Green Ronin, EN Publishing, and others that make significant sales for PDF. The product is simply being rearranged into a second AISLE to make it easier to find items without searching, for those who simply walk to wander in a browse, like myself. I know that search functions are something else being looked into, but display time on the front page and everything else is a big concern for all publishers involved. If the system can be changed so that each product has more than a full week's exposure rather than a couple of days, it works out for the publisher trying to sell that product. Hence the decision to make some changes. As to what those are, there are only suggestions and concerns being shared within the PDF community at this moment, so details will be announced shortly when they are set up. It's one thing to say an idea, it's another to make sure it will actually work. Either way, many ePublishers believe that this will work out in the long run without leaving anyone stranded in the dust. [/QUOTE]
