I know that the web site was updated back in August with the intention of getting more content out quickly and easily and I for one was grateful for that. I would say though, that any new content on the site has been quite lacking recently. I know you are concentrating on the game and the latest stream did show new content and it added much to the excitement, but in relation to the web site, apart from the News section getting an entry every two weeks or so, nothing else has been changed or added to. The ease of publishing just does not seem to be utilised.
As this is a major portal for the game, I really feel that there should be some new game content available on there. You should use the web site to whet the appetite of its viewers. Lore details (timelines should be brought back, short stories, long stories, back stories), deeper class and race descriptions, screen shots (showing new vistas and hints of stuff to come), real news items, titbits, models, places of interest. Exact details dont have to be included (for the surprise factor) but there is no reason not to deeper class information, lore, cultures, etc. have a discussion of how the character working together would enhance game play. How about a partial screen shot of something not seen yet, to get mouths wagging? What is being worked on currently?
To pull more people in, you need more content to entice them in the first place. The current pages, for me, are the basic, minimum. I would prefer that my first point of call for all things PRotF was the web site, but I find I very rarely spend any time on there because they are so static at present. Personally, I would love to see new content being released on there on a weekly basis. Over time, this would be a major repository.
So, if resources were unlimited, what else should be included in the game site?
Yeah they really do need to put the link to their swag store on the main website somewhere. In case you didn't know where to look: https://www.redbubble.com/people/visionaryrealms/shop

For the same reason that many sites put their vids on youtube, because youtube is already set up to do a good job of hosting and streaming video. It would cost VR more work & money to set up this site to host a lot of vids than to have them on Youtube. VR mentioned this a while back when talking about plans for the new website and forums.
