Yeah domain name I picked isn't the most appropriate, "War of Magic" looks way better but only the .info is available so far hmm... Anyway the domain name isn't maybe the most important stuff, once community will be used to it, it will be in everyone's bookmarks. However asking authorization to Stardock for using official pictures and design for a fansite is a need (not only legally but also about being polite) , even if I don't think that any game dev refused it in the past.

And I didn't have more luck than you Spartan for getting an answer, we can bet that the dev team is probably hammered since the game announcement hehe!

Nope they didn't so far but thanks to their highres poster you can still get nice elements, like Luckmann and Spartan used on the avatars, or details I put of the .info website.

What do you mean, you talk about these parking site (that register tons of domain names to re-sell them after) ? What's funny is to see that if you try to search for a domain availability several times, a week later domain name isn't available anymore...what a surprise.. NOT ! :-/

For "key name" sites, there are usually squatters who actually register the names. For general name searches, some registrars, would reserve the name after someone did a search on it and keep it reserved for some time after. The process of doing that was called "tasting".

There are many registrars, hundreds in fact if not thousands globally. Usually when one decided to get an Internet based IT services package the company offering the packages is often a registrar and they take care of the name registration for you. To answer your second question yes there is. It is ICANN.

Sweet! 

(We're still talking about the .net address, correct?  I just want to make sure I'm not assuming anything.) 

@Martok - yes elementalgame.net (and .org) I was thinking of running the Wiki on the .org and the other on the .net

@Cervmix - Really good job brother.

Thanks for the kind words mate, however hardest part now is adding content !

Since you continue your website project Spartan, I'll create a new separated thread about the .info site, forums and wiki to not mix it up with yours !
