Just going by the text in the FAQ that states that the newly announced VTT does not integrate with the CB or the online Monster Builder (yay!)...I have to ask the question...
Why? Why do this at all? There are applications out there that already provide functionality for this. And those applications do it awfully well, from what I've gathered.
Couple the fact that they say that it doesn't integrate with their other online tools with the fact that they haven't decided on a price structure for it yet, and I have to wonder if it's going to be part of DDI at all. If it's not, then it might not integrate with the online CB and MB, which means you could be paying for a D&D licensed VTT that does nothing that you can't ALREADY do with pre-existing software. =/
So, that means only one of two things:
#1: When it's all said and done, it WILL integrate the with the CB and MB.
#2: It won't integrate, and we're all left scratching our heads as Wizards tries to force their way into an already crowded market of VTTs.
For the record, I'm leaning towards it integrating with the existing (and soon to come) tools. I'm just confused why they'd use the language they used in the FAQ.
