Lexi Report post Posted November 3, 2010 (edited) My only suggestion is changing the background color on the "Players Online" to match the new layout. Lovely design, btw. Edited November 3, 2010 by Lexi Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nova Report post Posted November 3, 2010 Had a quick going over of it. Looks GREAT! I didn't notice anything floating around where it shouldn't be and everything seemed to work like it should. I use Firefox as a browser. I'll leave the spell checking to someone else since most likely I will tell you that things that are spelled right are spelled wrong. Awesome job Roja. You can tell you put a lot of effort into the updated look. Love how the site and the forums match now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TigerClaw Report post Posted November 3, 2010 BEAUTIFUL. very nice work Roja! I only did a quick scroll thru most of the page because i was in simple awe at the great artwork but i noticed you spelled "practice" - "practise" (Skill Guide -> Summoning) which might be your intention so i could be mistakened. But OMFG. pr0 artworks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ignoble Report post Posted November 4, 2010 There are many quests, ranging from "Kill 10 rats" to "Kill 20 rats". that's not too awe-inspiring (Home page) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
korrode Report post Posted November 4, 2010 A largely inconsequential suggestion: You could pre-load the glowing versions of images that appear when one mouse-overs the top menu and the screenshots and help links, so there is no delay in the 'lighting up' for first time visitors. The way i've done this in the past is to make a style class (called, say, 'preload') with the following parameters: {height: 0; overflow: hidden;} ...and place the glowy versions of images on a div of this class, so they get cached on initial page load.

groomsh Report post Posted November 4, 2010 Very nice and clean! I like the new web page. One thing is disturbing me tho. This page: http://www.eternal-lands.com/testing/page/interface.php Left menu is not shown and the screenshot of the client is too big, somehow it does not fit into the overall design of the page.

DibClark Report post Posted November 4, 2010 (edited) VERY NICE!!! found a couple though - in the commands page: there's a wayward ">" symbol before the #exp definition: > #exp - tells you your Experience points, and how much you need for the next level #ii and #il descriptions are on the same line (missing carriage return): #ii - tells you how long it's been since you were last in an instance. #il - invasion list-tells you how many invaded monsters there are left. also missing underscore (enemy_guild): #set_enemyguild guildtag - sets a guild as your enemy-you can attack each other anywhere.

Raz Report post Posted November 4, 2010 (edited) FANTASTIC WORK - nice one! On the Calendar page http://www.eternal-lands.com/page/calendar.php - the link to the moons http://www.eternal-lands.com/page/moonsigns.php - gives a 404 error on same page - Missing image http://www.eternal-lands.com/page/images/calendar_days.gif below working 'Days of Elder Calendar' Mouseover of the main website 'The official Eternal Lands Website!' Should the o in official also be upper case? on http://www.eternal-lands.com/page/pkserver.php The four links at the bottom - 2 are bold and 2 not. Clicking the rankings list has several missing images. Also clicking the 'back' from the bottom two - the screen loads then slightly resizes (may be my browser config) on shop page: It is a one time use only item(although you do have a chance of it not dissapearing after it's been used) disappearing on the license page http://www.eternal-lands.com/page/license.txt - very funny btw I mean, ok, we do have a morale fault, but no legal fault, so you can't sue us. moral on the items page: If you wish to find out more about an item, such as it's statistics and how to make it in the game, its There are many more and all swords & other weapons are made out of different matierals and have different strengths and weaknesses. materials Edited November 4, 2010 by Raz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Roja Report post Posted November 4, 2010 Thank you very much for pointing out those typos/etc groomsh: it's supposed to be that way. The one was the same. Korrode: yeah actually I tried something like that at first but I had a hell of a time just getting them to work at all, so once I did I was like..I'm not messing with it further lol.

PrincssTitanium Report post Posted November 5, 2010 Roja, the graphics do not show up above the typing, the only graphics showing appear to be the greenery from the old site look. The navigation bar is missing. The border/scroll design behind list on left side is not there, etc, etc. The appearance is quite different so a screenshot would probably best illustrate the appearance. Note: I did not crop the image so you can see what appears (or doesn't appear) at the top of the screen. Here is a link to a screenshot: http://s399.photobucket.com/albums/pp78/mylilcorneroftheworld/EL%20pics/?action=view¤t=elhomepageonfirefox.jpg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

With respect, but how is that selective? That is the complete sentence, and re-reading it today means exactly the same thing to me again ie. the quest range is very limited.

korrode Report post Posted November 5, 2010 (edited) I'm thinking it's intended as jest/sarcasm, with the expectation that people will read the following text: "Oh, and we also have quests where you must look for clues, carefully read NPC stories, and use your brain." and realise the jestful nature of the earlier text... but I agree it doesn't come across too well. EDIT: Also, personally, I don't like the idea of implying the "Kill X of creature" quests are 'dumb' and that the quests where you must carefully read NPC dialogue and look for clues, etc. are 'cool'/'good'. Some of us would rather be out killing something, as opposed to reading, deciphering puzzles, searching for landmarks/etc. I do enough reading and troubleshooting in my job, I don't want to do more of it in EL. I'd suggest a more generic approach, eg. There are many types of quests. From missions that will test your strength against the beasts of the land, through to storyline and puzzle driven quests that will have you drawing on your clue finding and mystery solving abilities!
