New city layout, cool quest, other things...

Redesigned the layout for city.php, how do you like it? I made room for weather and quick-stats for the city. I moved the city stats to the bottom because no one really cares. Weather will eventually be important enough to have you say "golly I'm glad that's there". Would you guys be mad if I put a square ad between "city" and "weather"? Also, do you feel "city stats" need to even be there, or should I just remove them and center weather?

There's a pretty cool and serious quest in Fraam. I showed off my coding skill just a tad bit with this one, why don't you go check it out if you've got 10 minutes? Also, because of this quest, I drew a bandersnatch or two.

Sledge wielder drew some cool denosars for us. Praise him.

Optimized the site for IE. Again. -__-;

I made raids more unridiculous. Before, monster block was determined by defense * 2. It's now defense * four six ten (epic fail right there), and the raids have been weakened in attack power.

It's now possible to change your name, in City Hall, for 10,000 bux. Howdy Doody is now Kelton Smith.

For absolutely... no... reason, it wouldn't tell you when you joined a guild. That's fixed now.

Wrote a reference section for weather.

bugs blah blah

Things coming this weekend and nothing else:

I'll do two minimaps. I'm sorry. I'm a failure. I can't do the minimaps today because I am too bored of coding.

I'll make key items.
I'll figure out wtf to do about equips in armories. There's like gazillions and no one even wants any. I might even have to change the way equips drop... I don't know yet. Open to suggestion.

With the armories I was thinking about equip compo's set up by the guild...

Edit- How 'bout having weather in the middle and an ad at the bottom in locale?

Oi oi... I could see it, but I don't know... I like how the links are closer together now. Before, the city stuff seperated them. Plus it'd look so awkward since it's just floating there, though maybe don't have to align it to the top.

You already know what I think...
Good Bunny for doin' stuff.
<3

[edit] Quest took a total of 30 seconds. In that 30 seconds I found three or four things wrong with it. <3
[edit*2] The Bandersnatch image rocks though. <3

How about weather to the right and links to the left?

Tried it, looks way too scrunched in each column.

And in case anyone's wondering, wosheh only found it because I had set the drop rate to 100% to test but then I didn't feel like testing. D:

Okay With ads you should be able to have them on the bottom of the page on every page, alot more money for you and they wont bug people, most websites do it like that or at the top or at the side...

Like Cj said, ads at the bottom are less annoying. On a side note, squash those bugs! :3

I'll actually only be putting ads on about 10-12 of the pages we have. Ads will always be at the bottom of the page if I can help it.

Not many bidders yet (I checked Project Wonderful)

just wait till our numbers get up

You should pay some more attention, CJ.

There are two ad spots on the website. One, which will make me every little, is the front page and all surrounding outside pages. k

Now, the second one which does make me money is not even up yet, because I don't feel I have... hrm, the "right" to display it when we don't have enough people. MonBre gets about 20,000 pageviews a day. Look in the world stats on your home page to see how many active trainers we have.

The main issue I'm seeing right now is that exploring sucks balls. People who stay, I have a feeling, get bored from exploring, when it should be the polar opposite. I designed the game for people to enjoy exploring and want to continue questing. As you said yourself, you don't want to go all the way to the swamp for the campaign, and I don't blame you one mokal-damned bit, because I don't play my own game. Given it's more of the fact I'm the one that created it in the first place, I also do understand why people wouldn't stay.

The night is darkest just before the dawn. And I promise you� the dawn is coming.

Yay! Big speech! Now you know why we use trains... But a bit of colouring or comedy would satisfy me in exploring mode...

Eventually it'll be *really* neat and it'll be able to tell things like:

If you're on a road, less chance to find a mob.
If you're on grass, will be affected by wet weather.
Randomized bosses walking everywhere.

Stuff like that.
