[QUOTE="Moonshade, post: 4184146, member: 54606"] Because now they're promoting DDI as a major part of 4E. They should be getting ready to sell it along with the rulebooks. The latest news that settings will only have three books plus DDI updates only emphasises the importance of WOTC's online capabilities. The sucky WOTC forums (which I've used and frequently given up on when the frustration made me decide on a time out) and the sucky WOTC main site (which I've not used since it's so annoying to navigate and doesn't feel like worth my time) don't exactly fill me with confidence. And I haven't even followed e-Tools or other such digital projects that people mention as disappointing. WOTC doesn't seem to have a great reputation for technical competence and reliability. Since DDI will be a major part of 4E, I think [i]now[/i] should be the time to convince potential customers that it's worth paying for, instead of maybe giving WOTC a year and then starting to comment that the web aspect of D&D has not been sorted out and this DDI thing isn't delivering as much benefit to the customer as it could be. Edit: And... their forums are down again, for the second time this day for me. [/QUOTE]
