Nuculear: are you telling me you would rather have a great game community and a page that looks like crap and is 90% text, or a great graphical, extreamly imformitive page? adding flash to a page dosent take from the content, and 98% of browsers are flash and javascript compatible... the step from html and css to javascripting, asp, php, and flash is the diffrence between enjoying a website and not enjoying one... let me take back my previous statement abour an entire flash page, beacuse yes, theyre are the obvious downfalls of it.. yet to rather have a poor lookign page over a great looking and enjoyable page, is a stupid thing to beleive... i see your points, yet if i could wait 3 extra seconds the first time i viewed a site, not a page, beacuse if you wont need to load for evry page, and have it have a great interface, i would go for it.. and that navbar was a 1.somethign second loadtime on a 28.8, and if you dont have a browser that can support flash, i pity you...
........ if you went to a website, with the worst interfase you had ever seen, and decided to not play the game beacuse you felt the website sucked so much the game would probally suck too, then the game turns out being one of the greatest mmo\'s ever, wouldnt you feel shitty? and if you had a great gameing community wouldnt you feel shitty if people didn\'t play your game beacuse your website wasnt that great? you may not think these are revelent points, yet in today\'s online society, haveing a good website is evrything. If someone if oging to come to this community, the first thing to be impressed opun them is the website, is it not? proove me wrong? so how could a site with asp and javascripts, in today\'s society with allmost evryone using either IE, netscape, or a mozilla browser, how could such a site hurt the game?? what rock have you been living under where you can believe that flash and javascripts could actually hurt a site? i see your points, how the loadtime would be affected, yet i dont see how likeing the way a page looks could make it more cumbersome.. features like flash and javascripts arent un neaded in todays world, its a competitive world where evryone wants to look better than evryone else, and extra features on a website are what people like. so how can you oppose the opinions of millions of people?

The site is about the game, not the game about the site.
