Personally I like this presentation more than the old one.I think this one is brighter and has a nice look.
But I'll like to ask why there have no update in dungeon/map access quest? cause there are many more quests than it should be now.

I don't know if comments are appreciated, but the shiny blue background is distracting and looks like an amateur designer's work. (Not that I'm a web designer...) I really like the general overhaul, though. Random server's also quite amusing *clicks over and over*

I'll have to agree about the shiny background though, imo it would be better if it's just plain blue X3 And the text on the header could use a different font (something which is easier to read) but the header is always off in my side anyways so...

But I still stand with what I said, the site looks a lot better (generally) than before. ;D

The new layout is great..
And I disagree about the background, at least here using High Definition, it doesn't seems so bright..

Anyway...
Good Job, I say... The old one was starting to be boring... Always the same... u.u

Nice.. ^^

When I saw it, my first reaction was /lv
But I agree with the bg comments. It's too bright. But a plain blue bg wouldn't look good, imo :x Maybe a gradient?

Also, this button: , doesn't fit the rest of the layout. Dark blue? D;

Guess I'll collect more comments first at this point.  About the background, I asked around before.  Yep some people like it and some people fine it too stand out.  I might change it but to ... ?  Feel free to give examples  ;D

Thanks to those who like the change, your comments removed some of my worries.

For those that don't like it, sorry I can't please everybody =/  You guys have the taste of Riotblade.  He kept saying it's ugly bleh bleh and I told him animeseed is ugly for years xD (which he don't agree...).  Obviously people hold different tastes  :)  Heh try go to animseed.com maybe you will think it's perfect lol. 

Okay.  I can't say what we have is perfect, it's not.  It's that I feel we need something new and that's what we settled with.  I do have the worry of the site looking like any other ro site (though I put some effort in trying to avoid that comment ... oh well), that could be bad but that could be good in a way that we are finally going with the current and don't look 'old' anymore.

althes:  It took a lot of time to work on quests/guides, everybody (except JJJ) I asked to write guides/quests ended up giving up :(  Sorry if that disappointed you.

Tom~:  The botton is suppose to stand out  ;)  more attention to reviews needed.

Yeah, now that I look at it again, it does look good. xD

What I don't really like is this:
IT'S TOO BIG! D; I mean, look at the red part. That size would look better, imo.

About the BG, i'm going to try ;o

EDIT: Oh, about the quest guides... well, there's a new "group" of members now (most of us joined the last year), and maybe some of us can help you with these quests. But really, the quest DB needs to be updated :x

EDIT2: http://write.ratemyserver.net/, it's still using the old design.

I originally had it the gradient style but think it isn't unique enough.  I could easily cut the top half + fix it a little to make it gradient, want to see how many ppl like / dislike this first.  Personally I like the current of course otherwise I wouldn't picked that lol, didn't know it's not as acceptable to some.

The top menu, it's big now because I am leaving some room for growth.  It can fit one more link with sub-menu.  I am holding it back just in case I need it in the future.  Btw, I am not pro in PS neither.  I didn't make this whole thing :S.  I paid for a psd only design, ended up didn't like it too much because it was too generic.  So I ended up making lots of changes to it and ended up with this that I am finally happy with.

The quest db, the existing quests do get updates.  I started to linking quests from write.rms when I find appropriate.  For new quests like accessing the instance dungeons, I really don't have the time to write those.  

write.rms & possibly play.rms will need to wait a little longer for the change. You can use this opportunity to compare the old and new look.

ASFC - You can block everything, we simply can't ensure everything you do will give the best result but I respect it's your choice.  If you want a better solution, you should try using the site setting option to set the top banner from 'show' to 'hide' (and then block the mini logo).

Well, the bg isn't that bad. I guess I can get used to it :P

Oh, didn't think about that. But what about it's height? Yeah, the current design does look good. You can't satisfy everyone xD

There are some summoning quests that have not been added to the DB, such as Satan Morocc D;

I think Tom~'s second background image matches well with the layout (1st or 2nd). The current background is a bit too dark for me, but I still like the new layout compared to the old one XD. The old one does seem a bit outdated-looking, and I like the new additions like Random Server and Reviews <3.
