Anyway.

Brad, the website's intro picture is really nice. But other than that, simple is better. You don't need flashy buttons and whatnot to make someone buy your product. I'm currently on dial-up, and I just don't have the patience to wait for that thing to load up.

A website shouldn't need flash. A website shouldn't need to be made out of images. A website should have a nice, pretty header, with a sidebar THAT ISN'T images, and the content in the center.

As someone else said. I shouldn't have to surf for ten minutes to find my log in button.

The point of this website is to be flashy (pardon the pun). We have the other older website for the more sophisticated MMOG gamer that wants more detail and less flash.

Jeez Brad - you need need tabbed browsing with all those forums you troll =P L2Firefox.

I usually use Vista beta 2 and the new Internet Explorer with tabs, but happened to be on a different machine. I really like Vista and the new IE (and office) -- MSFT must have put a chip in me before we broke away from them

EQ2 loads perfectly fine. station.sony.com doesn't seem to have any Flash at all, unless the broken flash detection forwarded me to a non-flash page

We'll SOE know there are potential issues. Thanks.

There is nothing outside of the flash to even indicate what the web site is about. The text 'vanguard' appears nowhere on the page. If you told me that was the Matrix Online website instead of the Vanguard one I wouldn't know better.

There's a large Vanguard logo that you can't miss. Perhaps your browser isn't setup right or you don't have flash or the right/current version of flash. While it scales a bit, the resolution looks to be 1280x1024 or so.

Something is diffinitely up with your machine. Can you bring up the EQ and EQ 2 web pages ok? How about station.sony.com?

Check out www.joinvanguard.com!

SOE's idea of a community oriented site and a site aimed at attracting new users and introducing them to the game is one we really like. To that end, they put together www.joinvanguard.com and it *just* went live.

let us know what you think!

thanks,

-Brad
