FORN does a great job with monsters and such... I guess the first impression that a possible new customer gets from the game doesn't hold a priority in HCS' view...

I'll admit when I first saw the game the home page was horrid... I only joined cuz I was dead bored at a comp and had nothing to do for about 3 hours... had to wait for a ride...

I don't mind the buttons... it is the homepage... it is quite horrid... let me see if I can find a quote which sums up how I saw the home page...

...and tbh... if i wasnt begged to join so the person that recruited me could get a few fsp id never join due to the lack of professional look on the login page and all of the ads theyve got in other games...

one more major thing that this game lacks are preferences...
if people want preferences (sort your backpack or whatever) people have to whine about it on forum for about a month before someone even notices it...

If I wasn't stranded at teh library, bored out of my mind, I wouldn't have signed up cuz the home page looked bad...

Thing is any new customer for HCS... is gonna see this home page... and then decide if they wanna play... after they play they will decide if they want to donate or not... but they can't make that second decision if they decide not to play...

Its been over one year, and practicly the image and design of the game has not been updated.


And so? My ugly face has been about the same for the last 20 years.
Who cares about new images? The design is reasonably good at the moment and if it needs something, it's USEABILITY improvements, not looks.

In other online web based games the image says it all, there is a game who improved really deep the screens and different menus in that game, now looks a bit different, 'better'.


So, let other webgames be "better" in looks and "worse" in contents. If they replace the current graphic set and keep the existing layout, guild store access will still mean scrolling over guild buildings, and it will still stink even with new pictures :)
