Legend has a website that has won a few awards. It has a web discussion
board, archives of the in-game lecture series, FAQs, a reference
section, character bios, links to guild web pages, and the game
newsletter. And it just about never gets visited by existing players.
Does it serve to draw in NEW players? Yeah, probably. But for some
reason it is not a major contributor to the community. (The character
web pages are a hit however).
