So this is a new official website run by someone called Rodger Turner. Interestingly there is a contact form for ICE on the website.

Despite the strange method of making this website known to the community it has been confirmed legit by Ribald, thanks Ribald (and Hetan for getting back to me).

Original post:

They posted a message to Egwene at the wiki:

Can anyone confirm if this is legit?

It does seem pretty legit. If only ICE and Erikson had twitter.

Yes, as far as we can tell at the moment it is legit. We're working on asking Cam himself if it is, just to be certain, but no timeframe on that specifically yet. (Thanks Hetan! :rolleyes:

)

Great, I figure it probably is his, but the contact vector seems a bit weird. I figured it would be posted here first, but when it wasn't mentioned here I was surprised.

You should probably add it to the homepage links list if Hetan comes back with the ok.

Did you definitively find out yet? Is a follow up coming or do you no longer think it necessary?

Further to Ribald's email confirmation - my apologies, I didn't think a further reply was necessary. Yes, it is legitimate.

Thanks for coming back to us, Hetan. I assumed that the earlier comment just indicated that Ribald had send a mail to that site and had a reply in Esslemont's name - Ribald did not indicate that the e-mail was a direct private contact with ICE.

Thanks for getting back to me Hetan, it was like a persistent gnat just out of reach that your post was left unresolved. I've updated the OP btw.

Someone should really add the site to the list of links on the front page.
