What changes to the Arc Website would you like to see?

Before Posting: Do not post 1. No Arc or 2. DQ points. Those are a given. This is about how to improve what they're trying to do.
The old PWI page was something we all got quite comfortable with, and probably took for granted. Now that it's gone a lot of us realize parts of it that were actually pretty useful and we miss these aspects.
The current page looks cold and unfriendly. The "steel blue" rudimentary page looks like something I could have whipped up when I was 15 with no real flash experience. There are no inlaid graphics. There are no hints at how vast and beautiful our game is. No hint of how active and lively our community is.
I would like to see our Fan Content Page on the new Arc site.
I would like someone who has actually played the game to re-write the "Key Features."
example:
"Play the economy of the game utilizing the wide array of in-game markets, such as the auction house, PW boutique, personal shops, bidding hall and more"
Change one of those duplicate terms to Commission shops. Please.
"Collect materials and resources to create your own weapons, armor, potions, and more for sell or use"
First off, it's SALE not sell. Secondly, give some examples. How about you say-
"Hone your skills to craft weapons, armor, and ornaments by hand. Explore the map to find various materials, or brave the epic monsters of Twilight Temple, Lunar Glade, and more exciting dungeons for resources to improve your gear!"
Just... put some personality into it.
What the heck were you thinking with your explanation of dungeons?
"With over 5 years of dungeons, including time based trophy mode versions, expect to see something different everywhere you go"
...something different? 5 years? No one cares about 5 years. The trophy mode versions? A) they don't work anymore and no new player knows what that means.
"From deep caves full of rabid wolves, to frozen wastelands of forgotten ice giants, there are endless hours of dungeons to explore, each with unique and handsome prizes, for any level range."
How about one of the coolest parts of the game? Going Demon or Sage? Why isn't that on Key Features? That's a MAJOR hook!
Pick a different picture than the basic cleric face as a showcase for the CHARACTER CUSTOMIZATION. For God's sake, that toon looks like it's from 1994.
The videos you have up are mostly ****, the images you have up are mostly ****. Get a GM into game, spawn some dragons in west arch and take some screenshots of the Havoc that ensues and post THAT. People want to see action, not drawings or stills of a boat.
Feature the only cool video that's up there- which is the Nation Wars video. Take down that CG *** video that isn't even of our game. Why they made that video and how it relates to PWI is still a freaking mystery. It showcases NOTHING about our game.
Your videos should be like this: Nation Wars- Territory Wars- Dungeons- Skills- Customization
Then show some screenshots of some epic cool stuff that will actually draw some freaking attention to the game.
AAANYWAYS- I could probably go on for days, but what else would you guys like to see changed? Improved...

I agree and furthermore stop making us re-log every time we go to post. I think it is fair to say get rid of it. Until people listen that is what you will hear. I'm sorry that our opinions are of no importance to you and if as you say "get rid of it" is a given then why is it not being done? You would think with all the forums and bypass solutions out there they would get the hint. Your dedicated players will get tired of this and move on. Anyway you wanted improvements to something that most dislike that is not a real conversation about a serious problem. The only thing that says to players is come on tell us what you want " but we will not get rid of it" we will fix it so you like it or you can leave the game. So pretty much this is not going to go anywhere.HawtyNaughty - Heavens Tear wrote: »"What changes to the Arc Website would you like to see?"

Can't think of nothing to add right now, as I agree with what you listed.
Especially on the fact that there should be more screenshots and videos of the actual game content, rather than things that have nothing to do with what PWI truly is like once you log in your character.[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]0 -
I dont like the new url to pwi
http://games.arcgames.com/en/prod/pwi
en/prod/ just doesn't seem to fit in my memory
Otherwise I would like it to be easier find all the news with pictures, honestly... you gotta look at the box at right side, click more, then click on news again (and people probably wouldnt do that, because you'll already be at a news page, just a wall-of-text-newspage though)
the page with all news+pics are easier to find with arc.
Those are the 2 things that bugged me mostly I think.This is a test0 -

This, I don`t need it it`s not necessary, give us back old stuffs, I cant understand why people need to add new useless things, same with FB`s new font and look - it`s garbage, Skype also, with every update it becomes more and more lamer, LEAVE THINGS HOW THEY ARE IF THEY WORK PROPERLY, or don`t add anything new at all if you haven't tested it nor received people`s support, I kinda hate this "progress" people are already like zombies with all these new things, soon enough we will be like "Surrogates" in fact we already kinda are! b:surrender[SIGPIC]http://pwi-forum.perfectworld.com/image.php?type=sigpic&userid=14516063001&dateline=1364756666[/SIGPIC] Ty Silvy0 -
I want a calendar that lists big events. Like TW map reset.
That way when these idiots forget to do it- we can all point at the calendar and say, set your damn reminder next time.Veteran PWIer.
