You should know perfectly well that most of us check the site every five minutes "just in case".

And yeah, it looks really good. Still nice and simple, so it loads quickly but a lot more snazzy.

I like it very much, its a large improvement over the original. So this was the "Global" thing that Gaile was talking about. I really enjoy the renderings of the different classes that we often see in wallpapers and such, They are just amazing quality and beautifull. Im glad to see them on the site now. Great design good job guys

And of course the site has to be blocked at work.

I guess I'll have to wait until I get home.

When I'm browsing the site it seems to be jumping from old to new layout and vice versa for me.

Nice new look, though I also found this page quite interesting: http://www.guildwars.com/gameinfo/guilds/default.html

Flush your files, restart the browser, and try again. If that doesn't work let me know. And nice new look to the site, this was the middling-small project Gaile was referring to. Well, I'm happy (even though it's not a surprise BWE this weekend

)

P.S. I really like the idea of a guild of the week, kudos to whoever thought of it.

I like it - its very nice.

I do have to agree with the point others were previously stating - it seems like the connection is struggling to deliver the images.

The Korean website and the rest of its pages looks a lot cooler and the cool features too.

Nicely ornate and it appears the graphic stills are easier to see. The menu seems faster, snappier to select links from too. So much you all at Arena.net are doing leading up to release

Cain you gotta learn about free proxy servers...hehehe

*Edit* I find no problems with the site here at all. Maybe you guys have to flush your or your proxy's caches (if you have a proxy). Only thing I can think of for a flashing back and forth between the old and new sites.

The Korean website is an absolute mess. Ours was definately on the dull side before, but now I think it beats the Korean site hands down, at least as far as looks are concerned.

Its supposed to appeal to the Koreans, just like the new GW site appeals to well.. non Koreans :P So i guess its doing its job

I think their both neat in there own ways.

Unfortunately, Opera seems to get a lil' bit sick trying to load the menu and such. Seems I have to try and use M$ Exploiter

And since I'm whining a bit already, where's the Portuguese/Japanese/Dutch Translation!

ooo purrdy. >_> I'm still hoping they'll eventually give us access to all those uber sweet character renders you see on the Korean site (and now a little on the NA one). Likely wont happen, but us artists can dream

Yeah, I had to hit reload twice to get it all. We must be hitting it pretty hard. Very nice, though.

And, of course, I must point out my previous prediction. Thank you, thank you...

I definitely love the intricate gold mesh of the menu! Especially with the necro drawing you into the site!

Thanks Gaile.

Wel, Kirbie, we do have some tasty treats coming in the next couple of weeks, but I'm not at liberty to mention what they might be. Neato stuff, though, for sure!

We're working on that, as a matter of fact. I'd estimate just a matter of days until we have some nice eye-candy to add to our Gallery.

Lol, well, you guys can all blame me if the dev team is late on the game, they are busy trying to fulfill my desires for quasi-real language options.

If that were to happen I would hunt you down find you and do a Prince Rurrik on you.

Then mount you on a pole

. On a better note I noticed it right when it went live. It looks very well done. And I too would like more pics like the Korean site has. Their site just has more info on it right now. Too much info for me to sit thru and translate.

Oh well.

PS: Can we play now...???????

New site looks really nice. But what I think would be a nice added touch is if instead of just having the necro beckoning you if it loaded a random class each time you load the page. Maybe an option for a male/female of each class to show off a little bit more about the game.

Hehe, don't like the fact that Necro's rule Official GW items?
I noticed that a few weeks ago. GW box = Female Necro, GW CE Box = Female Necro, and now GW Site = Female Necro
