NOW is the time for Wizards to make us go "WOW!" with their online presence, and show that they're truly committed to the digital aspect, especially since they're touting it as a cornerstone of the 4E experience.  No-one I know would pony up the $$$ for Gleemax and the DDI with what we've seen so far.  (Not to mention TSR/Wizards abysmal track record with regards to online efforts.)I think the fairground analogy made by Scribble is an apt one. MAYBE the site will improve overnight once 4E is out, but how many potential buyers will they have lost in the interim?  I'm sorry if this seems a bit harsh; even though I'm not personally up for 4E, I'd like to see the hobby flourish, and Wizards really is shooting themselves in the foot with this, IMHO.</blockquote>
