The mag is pretty good.
how about putting more rpg maker contests.
more faqs for rpg maker games would be nice but time consuming.
is it possible to create custom emotes?
how about a contest for writing or paint in the creativity section.

club mag needs to be revived.
how about lufia it needs to be changed i guess.

rpgmmwiki is good as it is in my opinion.

Ok, here I go

Site:
1. What do you think of RPG Maker Magazine?
-Great stuff. Love it.

2. What are some things that can make it better?
Some more faqs would be nice. I'd love to see a faq for rpgm3 instead of bits and pieces.

3. What things could be changed?
An easier to use site format for the games. It's far too difficult to find the game you are looking for, and any previews/reviews for that game.

4. What do you think of RPGMMWiki?
I don't care for the most part, but maybe I miss the reason why this is so important.

P/Review-related
1. Do you read previews and/or reviews?
You betcha. Apart from seeing my own previews, I check out other review work.

2. Do previews pump you up for a future game release?
Yep. Since I'm a preview it gets me pumped for the full release.

3. Do reviews influence which games you might play?
Not really. Call me crazy, but I look at them and never get the urge to try it

4. Do games with RPG Maker Awards featured on them make you more likely to download a game or take an interest in it?
Sure does. It actually makes a factor in which games I do or don't download.

Love the new wall paper Ix! Please do all holidays. That would be fun! :D
I was like.. Holy crap. the colors are wrong on my computer. And then I saw the pumkin at the top. :P

1. The mag is awesome. Trading games with your friends. And meeting new people.. Very cool. :) Its also nice we can talk about other things then just games. The Pav is not to open to that. But its what makes this sight different. :D Very family like. :)

2. Maybe more events. We need things to look foward to. Love the holiday idea. Don't be afrade to add more color to the sight. Maybe change things up every month. I think thats what BQ was saying. :)
We should also use Polls more. Working as a team is always a good thing. :)

3. I think everything seems to be running good Ix. No problem here.

4. No comment.. really.

As far as reviews. I have not needed them, just yet. Maybe soon. :)

Looking sharp there Ix. Very good. :D

1. What do you think of RPG Maker Magazine?
I think it's a pretty cool place. One of the first things I do when I turn on my computer is come here to check things out.

2. What are some things that can make it better?
Well, once the next RPG Maker game comes out, that'll help I'm sure, but of course that's out of everyone's control here. I don't know if there is much that I would change.

3. What things could be changed?
Well, finding some ways to boost the site's popularity would bring in more people, thus making it a more exciting place.

4. What do you think of RPGMMWiki?
It's a good idea. Still haven't created anything for it. I visit several places as it is for RPG Maker related stuff. I really don't need yet another place to go. I have only visited it a couple of times.

P/Review-related
1. Do you read previews and/or reviews?
Yes.

2. Do previews pump you up for a future game release?
Well, if they are well-written, and make the game seem exciting and different, then yes.

3. Do reviews influence which games you might play?
Yes.

4. Do games with RPG Maker Awards featured on them make you more likely to download a game or take an interest in it?
Well, not necessarily.

I like it. There is always a vast difference of opinion here that I can read through and see how different people react to things going on around us. It's not just about RPGMMAG, it's about the community and the people in it that make this place a wonderful place to hang out and talk/chat.

2. What are some things that can make it better?
Stricter Rules. People fly off the handle at other people, and often times it happens in public chat. It should not be this way.

3. What things could be changed?

Ix, I've already addressed a few things about the board with you earlier this year. They are mainly administrative thoughts and access rights. Also if there is a way to scout prospective community members that would be awesome. I mean we had to go through Agetecs site to find this place. Otherwise this would have been one of the nets best kept secrets.

4. What do you think of RPGMMWiki?

Haven't been there yet.

No, I'm not partial to other peoples reviews, I usually like to make my own opinion.

I suppose if you jazz it up and make it all pretty and such, I'd be more inclined to take a look at it first, but not necessarily because someone thought it was a good game.

Yes, This is a big thing we need. MORE PEOPLE. How many people are on the Pav compare to here? A lot I bet. Fresh new ideas and fresh new faces is always a good thing. :)

1. What do you think of RPG Maker Magazine? It's a great site committed not only to video games, but to promote friendly attitudes towards the people we love...and stuff.

2. What are some things that can make it better? We need a better music promotion, IMHO. I think it would make the mag more lively. Also, I know I don't post around much here, but there just hasn't been anything for me to respond to, no offense. The Palace was my sanctuary, but now...it's a lot different than what it used to be..or I simple grew up and thought there's no need to spam anymore.

3. What things could be changed? I think the above response in number 2 is sufficient.

4. What do you think of RPGMMWiki? It's cool. I don't look at it much, though.

P/Review-related
1. Do you read previews and/or reviews? Not often

2. Do previews pump you up for a future game release? I can't really say. I don't play them.

3. Do reviews influence which games you might play? Sometimes.

4. Do games with RPG Maker Awards featured on them make you more likely to download a game or take an interest in it? Not really. It takes some interesting sprite animation and gameplay to get me interested.

Site:
1. What do you think of RPG Maker Magazine?
I think it's a great community and addition to the RPG Maker community. As for the 3 major communities I think it has the most info on the games themself as this place has both reviews and previews of all the games in addition to just having them. Like the others it also contains useful tutorials on the games and some things for the games the others don't have. It's usually the first site I check during the day.

2. What are some things that can make it better?
Hmm, well like others said I think more events would be nice, both RPGM and non RPGM related. I don't think game contests would be a good idea, but maybe have a make a cutscene or small minigame contest for one of the RPGM that way people would be able to complete these in a small amount of time.

3. What things could be changed?
Hmm, not really sure, as most of the people here are welcoming of new people and there are still quite a few games coming out. So really I'm not sure of a big event to start up barring a new console RPGM coming out.

4. What do you think of RPGMMWiki?
I think it's a good source for all the communities to share common information as it seems a waste to have the same info at each of the different sites. I'm not as fond of a wiki as having a normal site, but normal sites are harder for normal users to edit so in that respect I think the wiki was the best way to go.

P/Review-related
1. Do you read previews and/or reviews?
I've read a few. I usually read them for games I'm thinking about downloading.

2. Do previews pump you up for a future game release?
Some of them do, but some of them feel kind of empty, or the preview is done too early in the games lifecycle to really make a decision as to how good the game will be. But it does help build interest in the game, though the person giving a demo of the game and uploading it to YouTube or something can give the same effect, though won't be as in depth.

3. Do reviews influence which games you might play?
Yes. I've been reading through them to determine what RPGM1 games to try since I got a DexDrive recently, and have already played most of the RPGM 2 games taking screenshots for the Pavilion, and I don't have 3, and probably won't buy it as I would get XP before that.

4. Do games with RPG Maker Awards featured on them make you more likely to download a game or take an interest in it?
Some of the awards would. A couple if them would make me stay away from a game. But it is nice to see what are considered the best and play them, or which ones are the funniest. Since we all have to work within the limitations of the RPGM games humor helps to make the game have a unique feel to it, and to break the monotony these systems introduce.
