The new website is up!

Code: Select all

It's finally here! The new website!

http://www.genesismud.org

Same address, different look.

So why a new website? Well, when I became our first
Liege of Promotion I felt that the most important thing
we needed in order to be able to promote the game was
to update and clean up our current webpage. The goal
was to make it look more modern, easier to navigate, and 
contain less, but more up to date content. Also, I wanted to 
create more of a "wow, this looks cool"-feeling for our 
landing page, and we had much unused potential in a few 
really cool posters Denis Loubet created for us earlier, but 
have never really been used to their full potential.

So, this is the end result. Hope you like it. I am very
confident that with our popular web client and the new
website design we have a solid foundation when promoting
the game. So now, finally, my actual promotion job can 
start!

Big thanks to everyone who's contributed to the new webpage, 
it's been really helpful. 

But wait, there's more!

I have also updated the look of the forum. It's now much more 
in line with the web page. Yes, it will be a transition and
something you will have to get used to. I was so used to the
green look myself, but after about a week of using this new look
I have already forgotten the old one! However, if you absolutely
can't get used to it and just loooooved the green look, you can
always change back to the green style in your board settings. The
old style is called "Getaway green".

Hmm. Yeah that's about it. If you notice bugs, typos, browser
specific problems, or anything else about the website or forum,
don't hesitate to contact me. Ingame or by using forum PM.

Okay, you can get back to your turkey business now,
Cherek, Liege of Promotion

good work
nice to see myself on 1st place in so many rankings

[Cherek]

Thanks Syrk and Irk!

Irk: Oh yeah forgot to say that, the rankings are, as you can see not updated since september 30. I cant promise the next scheduled update (tomorrow) will work either, but hopefully they should be updated at the latest next monday. Hopefully earlier.

Fantastic work,

I really like the new website. Awesome job!

The new site looks very good. I'm glad we could coincide this with my own promotional efforts. Let's all make a push this winter to get new players!

Looks great, and the update will come, I know, but I wonder, "The Best" rank is based on average stat or something?

Other than that question, the new pages gets three thumbs up!

Thanks Icarus.

"The Best" is what was known as "Overall Champions" before. I was about to remove it since nobody active knows what exactly that is. However, Tapakah, the original creator of the rankings system has reappeared after a long time away from the game. He has promised to dig through the code to see what exactly is counted there. So... the answer to your question has to be that we simply have to wait for Tapakah to figure it out... I promise to bug him about it now and then.

My personal guess would be average stat + guild XP based on who's on top, but thats just a guess at this point.

Looks very nice, easy to navigate as well may be cool if from the domain descriptions you could link to one or more of the maps from tower of realms mapsite.

The tower of realms mapsite? Hm? You mean the crossbearer site?
