About the webpage

[Perkons]

My advice is very simple , create a web page that would look like a MMO website
Something more attractive.
Your current page isnt that bad , but it looks like the game would still be in closed beta or some exclusive preview phase.

we are open to suggestions, but your comments are not very informative, make take a pic of it and show us what you dislike and what you think would be better, give examples of these mmo websites.

If it is to make a new page than in my opinion the book was a great page back then.

[Perkons]

Well, there are many different webpages , but most of them share the same basics ...
battleforge.com - the game is officialy launched , you can tell that by visiting theyr page.
forgeofempires.com - the game is in the exclusive preview phase ( in witch I am myself ), you can tell that from theyr page.

What im trying to say here , you should start presenting the game in the best way you can.
And one of the best ways is to have a great website , good facebook and twitter community.

True...webpage is neat. Just not eye popping or attracting.

I think what he's trying to say is...brown is boring.

Other websites have blues and greens and reds; for dof, it's pretty much just brown.

See those are opinions, I actually see those sites as being lower than dof's visually, moreso battleforge.com looks really low budget to me,,, yet it probably isn't. forgeofempires.com looks okay.

Like I Said, its opinion.


@Dreamwalker are you racist towards brown?

[buddhist23]

The brown is ugly. You have this nice picture and then..this ugly brown?

battleforge.com does not look like it was made with a dollar. It looks..neat but as the same time retro and fitting to battleforge.

Anyway this isnt a huge problem , its not like the webpage would be the nr 1 concern right now

[selridion]

i guess the dawn of fantasy webpage is not flashy
or should i say "artsy"
i guess the design is very simple, some art as background with brown squares filled with text

maybe the battleforge site ain't the best example around because that game... is not loved by its publisher :P (iv played it in the past and... well... the low amount of patches and love that game gets suggest there is some serous profit problems)

http://www.runescape.com/
i find this website quite "artsy"
it looks like a painting... which is a billboard at the same time :P

http://www.wurmonline.com/
this website is like the DoF website
not very "artsy"
just some squares with text in it

im guessing this is what perkons was after
