    Default Opinions about online games' official website

    Hello all, time for another round of simple discussion

    This time, the focus is on games' official website.

    What are some of the better features you see implemented on game websites?

    Personally, a space reserved to show the server time as the game might have players from different time zones wanting to take part in events. For me, this is a simple yet useful information for all the gamers.

    What are some of the features will you like to see that has never been or seldom done before on games' official website?

    What are some of the most "useless" features every other games' official websites are using?

    Please share

    Event calendar, game timer(so I don't have to hassle to just find the correct time something starts), overall less "bulky" website, less flash and more useful stuff.

    Most of the websites feel fat and slow and I ****ing hate that.

    Oh and a breakdown on classes, advanced classes and etc.

    I like to see rankings, multiple direct download links (not their own crappy downloader software.), a link to an "official" wiki page with an up-to-date database. It's surprising how many of these seemingly obvious features are lacking. They also need to lose the horrid Flash images. Most of the time it makes my eyes bleed.

    Hard to be specific because I don't really know myself. Whenever I visit a website I just "feel" it is missing some stuff and a lot unneeded things are there.

    http://www.playrequiem.com/index.aspx

    That's a good website. Left side, all information available freely. No slow loading drop-down flash columns which just slow and lag the computer or anything else ******ed like that.

    The rest I named in my previous post. That's pretty much it what I am looking for.

    always liked world ranking systems; interesting to look at.

    Would like to see
    -videos of each skill being demonstrated along with full descriptions and power of skill at each level.
    -listing of item prices, connected and updated to the in game market system.
    -monster, item, NPC data.

    Always disliked those intros a lot of sites have. kind of annoying and they don't show much of anything important.

    All I can think of atm.

    I like www.fallenearth.com website but somethings are out of order like logging in.

    Another thing is most website that do the launch game form web are trying to keep the hackers/trainer usage down. It was something that started in Asian countries long ago.
