The front page is ruled by Dev Choice, the same ones every time. The front page is a very powerful advertising tool more than anything else. They have the random feature available, so I think the front page should be: 3 random Dev Choice, 3 random Hall of Fame, 3 random 5-star, 3 random 4-star, and 3 total random arcs. This would give everyone a shot at being on the front page, and would be a great service to spread more plays around.

I like this idea quite a bit.
The last part "3 total random arcs" could be quite interesting, placing a Farm or a "What was this fool thinking?" gibberish-text arc for public perusal.
I could also go with "Catch of the Day" for 3 random currently-unplayed arcs, which would disappear after 24 hours, regardless of number of ratings in that time.

nah, i believe he meant that it would just be three randomly chosen arcs for each person every time they open the window...
that would be better anyway since it would rotate arcs faster
...but yes, this sounds reasonable
"First Published" is not very useful information, and it's somewhat redundant based on the Arc ID#. A much more important date is "Last edited"
Keywords are a good start, but not a good selection. Heartfelt? There's Magic, Sci-Fi, Mystery, but no Fantasy?

I would love to see the option to place objectives on a specific spawn point. It feels like we're getting closer with the ability to see where all the spawn points are, but choosing the spawn point would be ideal for event chains on larger maps to avoid extra backtracking.
