It is a step in the right direction but the herald is still the old flash version (this is the part that needed to be changed above all else) and some pages on the new site don't work in Firefox :mad:

yes the Chronicals will be updated after we patch to NF as NF brings a lot of new functionality for the chronicals.

Yes some pages don't work with non-IE browsers and that is being worked on atm.

Ye but I still have to reduce my security settings from maxed out, the only safe way to surf.
Is html dead and buried?
You know the old days..links..pictures encoded in html, no fuckin scriptds active components, every single one of them an open door to your hardrive.

Why does GOA insist on keep using flash, especially for the absolute necessary functions (like subscription)? I personally find it redundant, all this graphics which I couldn't care less about after the first time I've seen it, and would rather take a very basic website which'd (down)load fast so I can get on with what I actually wanted to do (check news or pay my subs).

That sounds great. Will we get master levels in the XML then?

Nope, the flash was NOT good.

As before its flash for the sake of it: not because its needed. The slowness is nothing to do with 56k users and loading times - its the worthless animations.

Wait for silly animations, pick your option, wait for pointless animations, click next option. BLEH!

Its obvious from the other thread the majority dont agree with me: but I find the new site to be significantly worse than the original

Maybe DAOC should revert to a text based MUD, that would satisfy all you technophobes.

or maybe they are aiming for a bigger market space that the 'nerdcosm' that we represent.

Flash is nothing but annoying, looks like crap and takes ages to get to where you want(if you manage to find where to click to get to where you want)
