Simplified FL website proposal

Here is something I whipped up for fun. It is not the final version or final size of the project. I made it as a simplified, no graphics, but stylistically distinctive prototype for a new FL website.

Don't like something? Want to add something? I can do this easily, or you can. I thought of this as a design so we don't have to rip off art from other games. This would also not have any music associated with it.

dont put images in threads, our bandwith will run out. :eek:

Though it does look slick, could use the Aabahran logo from the forums.

I like it.

nobody is going to stop doing it, so why don't you stop complaining about it

The image is independently hosted.

Now, I am not trying to step on anyones toes here if a new website is in the works. However I could work up a website in this style that is functional in about a day and a half.

Double post

I geuss I ca, though, it will suck when our bandwidth gets filled and we have no forums again

Ok, here are some constructive ideas. After all we all benefit from the better the FL website is.

  • Your image has a bit of unused space at the TOP.

This is prime area of a website. The first thing a person sees.

  • I personally favor links on a single collune on the left side of the page.

Like this site: http://www.aardwolf.com/

This is an actual problem on our actual FL website as anyone using a smaller resolution will have the links box cut in half.

  • I think the image is to dark. Althou FL is indeed dark themed, and the FL website has a reputation of being very dark, it does not benefits the site.

A idea would be to divide the site in half and have a gradient of clarity from left to right. For example left side to light, right to dark.

  • I like your letters.

  • You have 1 sun. Perhaps we could have also the 3 FL moons.

You know what would be great. If we had someone who knows how to draw in a PC make some images for the site. Things like the cities. Or some images of the Classes.

I would like to see a landscape of the actual desert zone from the game with an active nexus gateway off in the distance

I like all the info on the site Mya brought up.

If I were new I would try something that has a ton of info and insite, and something that is easily connected too. The effort of creating something new is awesome, and I applaud you for it.

On a side note, I like that on the other site Mya brought up, everyone gets a spell of sanctuary. I hate when I lose because I run out.

I think we should use that as well, it is for lengthening the fights, making them more fun not soley for the headache of stocking up?? Or is there more to it?

There is more to it.

Santuary is a way for a quick kill. It is quite ingenious.

Balance is set so that you need to have santuary to fight. Else you HP's drop to fast. For example, try fighting a Invocker without santuary and see.

When your opponent (or your) sanctuary falls it creates an opportunity to finish the fight quickly. If i was on a warrior i would bash him once to prevent re-quaff and wait him to flee so that i could follow with a charge.

(I dont play warriors, so this might not work well.)

If anything in the sanctuary balance, more short form of sanctuary should be available at high levels. Not the way we have now where you can get Pinacle "item" and have 12 hours of 50 sant with a lot of charges.

If you wish to discuss this (Sant) please create a new thread to avoid this thread derailment.

Back on the Desert portal. How is the FL desert ?

Mountains, plain desert like shara, and how is the portal ? Stone with runes, square hovering mirror in air.

Quick kill if you don't have it. So, why not let everyone have it? Not lose because they used 10 charges, 3 vials and ran out.. I just dont think its fair to those that need consumables for everything else and for sanc... Just my thoughts.

Other than the picture (lensflare ugh) I think it looks cool.

I took out the lens flare and moved the links to the left. I also put the MUD name up top and added some moons. I'm keeping the filesize low so this image doesn't represent a finished product.

My jaw droped. It looks a lot better.

what, you dont read the desc on things?

That looks pretty sweet Mali

I say we implement what Mali can come up with ASAP.

It may be replaced by the immortals at a later stage - thats fine. But an update now, while we are moving into the top ten is critical. No point in putting in the effort to vote if people look at the mud website and its SH!TE.

I like it. I also have recently been to another website that I was VERY impressed with it. The Mud sucks, lol. But a great website. Check this out.

http://www.bat.org/

The anime makes them look gay as crap, but the website is very very well done and "professional" mud themed. I'm not sure if we have people here famaliar enough with flash to do something like this, though it's still good for random ideas.

They also have a perm link on TMS. How did they get that? Do they pay for it? How much does it cost?

Maybe once we get things rolling with the website we could start a donation fund to get one and keep it rolling? What does everyone think?

EDIT: Did some reconnaissance and figured it out on my own and I am going to continue this on another thread.

Here.

I liked the Flash movie on the old web site. Was that taken from some other site?
