Keep it live

[Draenin]

Is there any chance of the old site layout coming back? I don't mean the previous green one that primarily promoted Kingdoms, but the one where server admins could post about updates they're making to their respective servers. It was really nice to see news articles being posted by the people working on the game itself.

So I'm wondering, can anything be integrated from the wiki, from the forums, or from any other frequently-updated source? The website seems very detached from the development of the game and its servers, and it would be great to get the look and feel of the old site back. The wiki and forums are nice, but they feel so very third-party right now when you visit the website. You actually have to go through several sets of pages just to access them now. Immediate live feeds of everything going on would be awesome, and I could definitely see it getting done, if the site page weren't making an over-the-top commercialization attempt. No offense. I know there's potential for abuse, but if blogging and the wiki can be moderated just like the forums, little harm could come from enabling users to share their updates right on the front page.

Anyway, it's just a suggestion. I know it takes a lot more work than I give it credit for, but it would definitely give new users an immediate glimpse behind the scenes of how the game works.
