Clan/Guild features are definitely something that I am interested in looking into. For the initial release, I just wanted to keep it simple and let the users tell me the sorts of extensions they would be interested in :)
It does indeed look very good. Nice design and a good concept to boot.
I hope it does well.

FWIW, I'm not a player, but your design looks great. I'm a little iffy about the menu links near the top. I feel like they shouldn't be separated, and could maybe use a background that's a little less translucent. Also the word "legend" is a bit tough to read and should have a period after it.
But the color-scheme and fonts are great. Overall it's pretty solid.

Very nice, it could be a great resource for roleplayers (but then I'd remove the 'uber l33t' line, heheh).
I'd like to mention that the navigation through the journal entries didn't feel too easy. I'd suggest adding a link at the bottom of each entry to show the previous one, for example :)
Good luck with your site!

Thanks for the feedback :)
So you were using the real time slider above the journal, but you thought that a previous and next link placed somewhere would help the navigation?
If so that sounds like a good idea.

Oh! OK... I actually missed the slider... I was using the links on the right side (the archives). Now I notice the effect on the picture when I slide and it's super cool, but I think you could maybe make it stand out more somehow, I totally didn't see it.
Also, the slider is a bit far from the text, so I'm not sure I would have related it with the journal entries.
So, I guess I'm trying to say that you should show off the cool stuff a bit more so silly people like me find it easily :)

Yeah I was worried that people may not see the slider. I am glad that you think it is super cool, so do I :)
I will look into ways to make it more noticeable.

I don't know what your site actually does without signing up or clicking around. The first page gives me a vague explanation and some weird browser-in screenshot.
I would recommend trying to make it easier to understand what you do in your opening page. I see after clicking through that it looks like a journal for your WoW character

But disturbing too... A social network where instead of being about the users personal life, it is about a video game character they play. Luckily there are a boatload of people whose lives evolve around WoW so it could do very well.
