Otherwise I dont think that is true, just look at The Matrix Online fansites for an example. That game at it's peak had 43k subs and had very bad reviews and it had some of the best fansites I've seen.

If the game is of high quality and players are dedicated. THen you see nice fansites if there are many subscribers, then you WILL see good fansites Nice post Q

I highly doubt Flying Labs will be providing guides for levels, abilities, fighting, etc. They wont have information on where to go for X item and I doubt they will have any sort of market websites(which I think could do very well with POTBS) like they have with FFXI where it lists what items are listed and for what. I appreciate how active FLS is with their community, but they need to get outside of their website and start working with fansites/websites. A gaming company can’t provide everything for the user.

Although some games have such great community managers that everyone hangs out on their forums (see PotBS) No need to go to a fan site because FLS is always there for the community.
