Fansite FAQ
What is this all about?
We know it takes a lot of time and dedication to get a fansite up and running. It is an ongoing job and will never be finished. We want to give you the credits, support and reward you deserve for the hard work you’re doing. This is why we developed our Fansite Program for you. We even set up a Fansite Roster so you can see the other Fansites out there all at a single glance.
Levels
There are two categories of fansites, the Valkyon Messenger and the Vanarch Emissary, and we are even planning to expand the program in future.
We want to provide you with the right support for your site, that’s why we categorize the fansites for content and activity, to provide small sites support to develop and gain recognition within the community while rewarding the bigger sites for their dedication. To gain a certain level you have to fulfill the requirements.
What do I have to do?
We kept the requirements short and simple to provide you with room for growth and improvement. There are always times of more or less activity on sites, depending on many circumstances. We know this and will observe and categorize things keeping this in mind.
