"Sign up below and play for free now!"

That's a bit misleading, isn't? It's a false allusion to having to pay to play later on, or if you don't sign up now you'll have to pay later...I don't know, I don't like that phrase. The page itself, however, looks nice. Good choice with the loboshigaru race pic content.gif

I'd make the pictures clickable though, and have them lead to their race page. Maybe have random pictures appear each time the page is accessed.

I suspect you only think of it that way because you know how the business model works ahead of time. I see "play for free now!" and similar all the time on free things and it's never occured to me that it means "it's only free now, you have to pay later."

And if you look at the race pics, they're all using a similar coloured background on the top and bottom (blue-ish on the top, gold-ish on the bottom). I think that's what they were aiming for.

It might lead some people to think that those races are naturally opponents/allies, but I doubt it.

Maybe that way sounds better?

Yeah, I like that better biggrin.gif

Nice!

The only suggestion I have is:

Join The Free Online Adventures In The World Of Lusternia!

Lusternia is an exciting online text game, where players from all around the world come together to adventure. Create your own hero and join thousands of other players in their online quests - explore a multiverse full of mythical creatures and magic treasures...

Free to Play!
Choose Between 20 Different Races and 20 Unique Guilds.
Take On Quests and Interact with Other Players.
Get Started in Minutes - What are you waiting for?


Maybe have a direct link to the "races" part of the homepage from "20 Different Races" and the same for "20 Unique Guilds". The colourful races page, especially, is a good selling point.

I might also add in a line (and perhaps a link) to the history pages. Something to the tune of "A Rich and Detailed World". Mostly because that's what really drew me here!

Edit: A line about "Detailed Tradeskills and a Diverse Economy" or something couldn't hurt either. I know some people really like their crafting skills.

Made an alt the other day and realized this:

Why doesn't registering on the web page go ahead and actually register your character? :\\

It feels weird to "register" once, then have the game ask me to do it again once I'm in.
