  2. Got something on your mind? Something happen to your character today? Want to write about the goings on of the server? Why not post a blog post about it - it's easy! http://lotc.co/page/blogs

      You need to change the blog somehow Danny, it isn't very eye appealing or easy to navigate through nor has much of anything. I remember trying it once and then never again.

  3. So, as part of my entire redesign of the 'Getting Started' area of the site I have: an Introduction to LotC, a brief overview of the Lore, information on how to Apply and how to spend your first day - what else is it vital we communicate to new players to help them become part of the community?

      Awesome! Thank you very much, I think this will really help new players understand a major part of RP and forum rules

      One of my main aims with the 'redux', I guess' I'm wanting to push over with the site is making sure the new player experience is one that's welcoming, helpful and one that really does make them part of the community as soon as they register. Things like this are vital for it.

      I think keeping it brief and to the point is also important. People tend to have short attention spans, and making them into smaller, less time consuming, videos could prove beneficial. That's just my to cents.

  4. What additions would like see added to our website? That means the site overall, not just the forums.

      An IC calendar.

      Maybe intergrate the wiki with the website so people have less excuses to not work on it.

    4. Danny

      Danny

      An IC calendar is a possibility - I'll look into it.

      It is possible for us to directly integrate the Wiki with our website accounts, so if you've a forum account you're able to edit the wiki. Groups and permissions, etc can be shared. I'll see what Tythus thinks, I spoke to him about it before.

  5. Guys, please remember and make use of the website's blogging feature - it's only there whilst demand exists! http://lotc.co/page/blogs Post a day in your character's life, what's happened recently on the server, your thoughts on changes and even your own real-life thoughts!

  6. LOTC 4.0 might be around the corner, but who cares when the website's got an even more exciting future? Read all about it: http://lotc.co/page/blogs and why not post a blog of your own!?

      ^ Weren't they removed for a while?

      Danny

      They were removed in place of a Help system and then readded way back before I left.

      I want the server in prime more than the website

  7. Head on over to the Blog area to see what's up-and-coming with the LotC website: http://lotc.co/page/blogs and whilst you're there, you might as well post a blog post of your own!

  8. Okay, I ain't gonna use the blog system either. Just spent from whenever I made my last status up until now writing up an update on how the site's going progress wise only for Chrome to suddenly go white and for it all to just dissappear. Excellent.

  9. Why is it you guys don't make use of the blog system? http://lotc.co/page/blogs Would we better off using that set-up for something else? e.g. News / Updates / Media or something?

      Maybe if it were setup as a subforum it'd be used. ATM it just looks like a less-organized sorta-forum.

  11. My voice in the YouTube videos I uploaded ages back makes me sick. I could've at least made it seem like I wasn't reading from a script...

  12. Hey, remember the days of sexy VAs? Reminiscing about the old days o'er here. http://www.lordofthecraft.net/topic/41315-

    1. Raptorious

      Raptorious

      Yeah they were sexy def not a pain in the arse.

    2. Temp

      Temp

      Vas sexy? What? They were terrible and were abused by players that just didn't like people. One of the various loopholes for getting someone in trouble.

      It's amazing that they're gone.

    3. Danny

      Danny

      I'm quite aware of the implications VAs had - hence why I continue to support them no longer existing Temp.

  13. Oooft, managed to get the framework of a page outlining the server's features (for new players) set-up. Tomorrow I'll hopefully manage to get it done and dusted and move onto the Gallery (which has a tiny bit done to it already).

  14. I don't know why I agreed to do web stuff - it just annoys me. Geugh.

    4. Aislin

      Aislin

      Danny you have a flamboyantly colored name at the bottom of the forums.

      You're staff.

  15. If you were to replace Reputation on the forums with something else that you can grant to good posts, what would it be? Cookies, apples, diamonds?

      'Likes', similar to facebook, if anything at all.

      Either remove reputation or include a -1 function. Cyberbullying is just an excuse that dumb people hide behind for getting -1'd

  16. Written up an action plan I want to pursue with regards to website content, will update you in time after I speak with Tythus about it. Should improve the experience we as regular players, as well as brand new players have when they come onto LotC.

      That's what I'd like to see Dizzy, aye. Initially, for people's instant view I'd like to have a brighter theme as that'll hopefully lead to more positive attitudes from people as they join, as strange as it sounds. However, having a couple of options would be sweet - they'd need to be similar for ease of webpage design, however, perhaps just two contrasting designs might be sweet? A default light, and optional dark?

    3. Hanrahan

      Hanrahan

      Let's have a Nostalgia theme; I.E the first layout!

    4. Danny

      Danny

      I actually quite liked the older layouts because of the simplicity of them. Little graphical attraction, but strictly formatted tables.

      We'll probably go along a more Web 2.0-esque design that things are going for now and have our own play on it.

      Still need to make a couple of hundred to get back above Freya to top poster overall. (y)

  19. It's a collaborative change between the community's input and attitudes, as well as change by the staff to the rules. Both will influence each other and hopefully put us on that track to the fun server, rather than the constrained server we're working towards.

  20. So much for just coming back to chat... Heading off to start work on some new web content, lets see how well I do!

      Redesign of most of the content pages to make them cleaner. Introduction of more content, including a Player Handbook, 'Features' area for new players, a Gallery and hopefully form some strong support system that's well integrated to the site.

      Nice! Can't wait to see it.

      All subject to admin approval of course!

  21. With regards to website content, what do you consider more of a priority? A gallery or a page outlining the features of LotC?
