Thread: New Look For AO Website!

  1. #1

    New Look For AO Website!

    We've had a bit of a makeover in the web department.

    Today marks the launch of the new Anarchy-online.com. In addition to the new look, there's a new content management system in place making the site easier to update and easier to use in general, which means we can update more often and keep things better organized. And, well, it looks pretty damn spiffy, too.

    We hope you enjoy.

    Love the look of the new site , I am guessing either that they are still working on it, or that the server downtime is affecting the website as well. Load times are very long and many of the links on both sides of the page at http://www.anarchy-online.com/wsp/an...1003,1004,1012
    (btw that is the link I am sent to when i use the "Server News" link on Front Page) are not yet functional. I have not yet explored all the new bells and bangles. Keep up the nice work

    Also found that links in "Support FAQ" that link to internal content. as opposed to external sites return 404 errors "The requested URL /content/support/faq/support/18_005426/0_005448 was not found on this server."

    Thumbs up It rocks. Period.

    I believed the website layout really fits with the game's sci-fi motif perfectly! ^.^

    Wow. Thanks a lot! That's a homepage to be proud of!


    Please tell me that little splash screen with the personal mech is what the new engine is going to look like

    Tbh, I hate it.
    It looks cheap and warped straight from 1995.
    No offense to the designer, but this looks like some basic photoshop filters stacked on top of each other without a finishing touch.

    Yeah because something that looks like a homestead.com site is any better...


    Times new roman font is *wicked* cool (how's that for 1995?)

    that old site looks like designs i was screwin around with when i was in... oh.. what was that... 9-10th grade. which was late 90's.

    the new site is more graphically intense compared to older designs...

    i guess i'm rather indifferent.. since i hardly ever goto the AO website.. mainly since they hardly ever cared to update it in past few years.

    new changes should have been expected with Funcom's plans for the future

    FC,1 thing though

    What happened to the organization info pages????

    I ask this, since I host orgbots and they can not get org info at this time since this area has been removed with the new site

    Looks nice but there's some problem in the code for the LCA maps. Every time it rotates it slows the mech animation down greatly.

    The "Trolls" option is incorrect. The term trolls is not used to describe the gathering of information on the Internet.

    I find old design more professional. Just because there's silverish background and new animation, it doesn't really boost futuristic feelings. If nothing else, background color makes it harder to read (gradual darkening doesn't help either).

    Very nice I especially like the updates to the timeline and story updates appearing on the main page.
    I made a reference to a fictional extra-terrestrial hive-mind race of beings collectively called Grthulox, and you need an indication that I'm not being completely serious?

    I really like the new look. It has a more genre-specific feel to it. Great job guys.

    Famine (or another),

    Are we going to see the AO Forums reskinned to match the new look? Right now it's kind of in an oddball state.

    The new site looks promising, a lot more 'scifi'ish to my eyes atleast, I loved the slogan lightyears beyond elves!

    Now just waiting for the forums to be reskinned...
