Yes I should! One day I hope. I have a layout. I just need content.

I love this type of site, and I hope that both Crystal and I will get around to making our own in the future ehehehe. Good job at revamping the site - it gives off an entirely different feel now!

Your dedication to both this site as well as the game (wow, trying to experience each archetype!) are lovely, even as I'm not familiar with the game myself. (I do think these sites are much more so for yourself than for visitors haha, but that's what's great about them - they're the equivalent of a digital photo album.)

I'll browse your characters and their stories more later when I have a quiet moment. <3

Ahhhhh, I remember the days of City of Heroes fondly! I wasn't as into it as you but my best friend was suuuuuuper into the game and loved it just as much. So reading through some of your character profiles definitely brought back memories.

I'm glad you were able to figure out a solution to how you wanted to organize the character information! I really like how it all looks! <3

If I could make one suggestion, it would be to consider adding links to make it easier to navigate the longer pages. Like a "Top" link at the bottom of the page, and maybe a link so that the user can skip down to the Concept section. :D It'd make navigation a little faster but it's only a suggestion; the pages are easy enough to read through without it. <3

Thank you!! OOOOO MORE MMO SITES YAAAAAS :D

I'm super happy that I chose to revamp this...just shows how important layout and visual presentation is to a site actually being visited and enjoyed! (LOL I did enjoy trying out as many archetypes as possible--I could literally bring any needed element to a team, whether that was healing, close combat, ranged, team support, whatevs. That was a neat feeling)

I am aware that this site won't get a TON of traffic because it is more like a memory book, but perhaps that is best. I've got a separate big CoH site anyway, so the two sites working in concert provide people with an informational AND personal look at the game. :D

COOL, thankies!! :D And great ideas about the links--I'm gonna see what I can tinker with. It'll probably involve a lot of copypasta and anchor links, knowing me, LOL
