Why the changes to the design of the site?
Posted: Tue Jan 17, 2012 11:22 pm
I really love AO Universe, in fact.. I generally have it up on my 2nd monitor at all times that I am logged into Anarchy Online.
It is a great resource for all players (new and old) and I'm constantly referring someone to a guide (much love for the budabot modules that made doing that much easier in org chat).
That being said, since the changes have been implemented, I find that I really don't use it as a resource much anymore and instead of my one stop shop website, I'm now back to using several different sites where I can quickly get to information while playing the game or I just don't bother and go from memory (which is right about 80% of the time I guess).
I looked on AOU's forums but didn't really find any information (or maybe over looked it). Why the changes? Clicking one link to get info on a zone and then scrolling through actually seemed perfect in comparison to the new style of the site.
Was this meant to be an improvement for the users or something that you guys had to do to satisfy some sort of technical upgrade on the site? I hate to be negative about a site that has become the ultimate info source for AO but I've yet to hear anyone in-game say that they like the changes.. so wondering what prompted them.
