Is WotC is planning on doing something new w/ heroscape.com?

[The Silver Surfer]

Hey,
I'm just wondering if anyone knows weather or not WotC is planning on doing something different with Heroscape.com once they take over officailly. I'm really not very satisfied with the way it is right now. It really is just an advertisement for the game. There really isn't anthing worthwhile on the site except maybe Thormun's Journal. It serves its purpose, I guess, I just would like something better. But, if not, I guess I'll just survive with the site as it is. At least we still have this site....

At least we still have this site....Read the WotC thread, that's what it is for.

Will there be an updated Rules Clarification/FAQ section on the main Web Page?
WotC: Our web folks will probably look at the whole site and figure out what's needed. But, I don't want to speak for them.

Will WOTC actually have a continued presence on Heroscapers.com or insist those who want to communicate use WOTC forums?
WotC: We're planning a continued presence here, both directly and through our playtester team.

Will WOTC have a more liberal policy in linking to non-company sites? Such as a link on heroscape.com to heroscapers.com?
WotC: Our policy may be the same, but our ability to ignore the policy is considerably higher. We just have to wait for the guards to be looking the other way.

Will all Heroscape items be available on Hasbro Toy Shop.com or some other online retailer?
WotC: I fully expect that everything will be available on HasbroToyShop.com at one time or another. Maybe not all at the same time, but everything should rotate through there.

What will become of HouseMouse, Heroscapers.com, and the old official website?
WotC: I can't speak for HouseMouse or Heroscapers, because we don't own them. The official site will continue to be updated in various ways.

When it's all said and done, will online stores like amazon and housemouse be able to carry the complete line at competitive rates or will we be trekking between box stores and hobby shops to collect new expansions?
WotC: I can't speak for the purchasing and stock control abilities of other companies, but we don't actively prevent people from stocking everything that we sell.

Now that Heroscape is under WOTC's wings, and Craig is no longer "in charge" of Heroscape, is it possible that he could, if he so chooses, post on Heroscapers.com?
WotC: I don't get to decide whether Craig's allowed to post or not. That's up to Craig's boss.


Is WOTC also taking control of the website? We were all very happy to see the updated sight last year and I would love to see that sight actively maintained.
WotC:Yes, we're taking control of the website within a couple of months - we have to get people freed up from a couple of other big projects before we add more work to their plates.

Ok, thanks. I searched but I don't remeber seeing anything from that thread, but maybe I just missed it.
