Beatusian Times Monthly Storefront Reviews
October 2008

Our reporters have gone undercover, into some of the most popular storefronts in the world, and this is what we have come up with. The storefronts were rated on product quality, product variety, product price, creativity of designs, customer service, ease of ordering, product sales layout quality, and product sales layout creativity. We have complied this ratings, and boiled them down to one number. In each category, we rated them on a points system, with 5 points possible. A five out of five being the best, and a zero out of five being worst. Now, let's look at the reviews.

Phoenix Dynamix Storefront (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=334378)
Overall Rating: 2.5/5 (Average)
Our reporters found Phoenix Dynamix Storefront, to have a good quality of product, and a large variety, with many native designs, however, with prices that were only average, and a poor sales layout, that left prospective clients confused, and customer service that seemed cold, and automated, we feel, that it's not the worst out there, but it's not the best either.

The Hammer & Anvil: Odds and Ends Store for World Leaders (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=522893)
Overall Rating: 3/5 (Worth a Look)
The Hammer & Anvil, is by no means your average storefront, however, it feature a wide range of unique, if poorly designed products, that you will not find anywhere else. Customer service was quite good, and very accommodating.

Lyran Arms Storefront (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=541320)
Overall Rating: 3.5/5 (Definitely Worth a Look)
Lyran Arms features a wide variety of quality equipment, even if it is a little over priced. Customers are taken well care of, and treated fairly and friendly.

Yanitarian Arms (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=543091)
Overall Rating: 3/5 (Worth a Look)
Yanitarian Arms offers a good selection of indigenous weaponry, at very competitive prices. The only low point, was that it was quite difficult browsing the selection of products, and required customers to calculate their own price.

Eisenseite Naval Industries, Sun International Naval Systems, Joint Venture (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=562816)
Overall Rating: 3.5/5 (Definitely Worth a Look)
There is nothing better than Eisenseite Naval Industries, Sun International Naval Systems, Joint Venture, if your looking to buy naval ships. However, if your not, than they will be of no help to you. Their customer service is also knowledgeable, and helpful, on topics relating to naval equipment.

Stoklomolvi Munitions Depot (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=564089)
Overall Rating: 1.5 (Don't Even Bother)
Stoklomolvi Munitions Depot, is on of the worse storefronts around. They feature almost no indigenous products, and even then, have a very small variety. The few things they do offer are overpriced, and don't really stand much of a chance against a well equipped capable enemy force. So, unless your looking for nuclear, shore based naval artillery, don't even bother looking at the Stoklomolvi Munitions Depot.

If you feel that the reviews herein, do not reflect accurate situations, and that something is wrong, feel free to bring it up, and we will check into the issue. The companies listed above, are free to use any statements we have made today in their advertising campaigns, as long as they credit us (OOC: I.E. Link to this page). Do you feel that we missed a company that should have been reviewed, but was not? Please bring it to our attention, so that we may address such issues. We will conduct new investigations, and issue new ratings on a monthly basis.

OOC: Kreigzimmer, DMI, LAIX, Aequatio and Ninevah Ironworks may be worth writing up, if you're on the topic.

Cheers, by the way. Positive feedback always makes my day.

OOC: Even though my new storefront hasn't received very many responses, I'd love to submit it for next month's issue. Something about boiling things down to numbers always makes me smile.

Here's the link, if you're interested in taking a look. (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=570104)
