Does the new page give a good overall aspect to what Gaia is?
It certainly brings it up to speed with the rest of the site.
Although, parks aren't really what gaia is about.
Are the images too young or old?
The girl looks overtly french, and a bit old. The market you're after aren't specifically late 20's, are they? I'd try again, make 'em teenagers of approximately 15-17.
He looks like an absolute wanker, pardon my swearing. Absolute idiot. She's smexy, in a really cool way. But he's an absolute idiot.
The people near the gaia event as it is, the two who replaced the holiday scene - they'd be cool to have there. Or the old header - the guy with red hair and the kitty girl.
And possibly make them look as though they're side by side. As it is, they look like they're two separate people stuck next to each other.
Does it make Gaia look too much like Neopets/Myspace/other sites?
No site I've ever been to. Haha. I suck. <_<
Do the design look good? Layout problems? I generally like it.
The event bit is nothing. If you make it like one of the two above elements (ie "Join our world" wink with the two Santa images, it would be infinitely more appealing than how it is at the moment.
Anything missing? What should we add or change?
She has a tattoo. give us tattoos, or don't false advertise.
The background colour is a bit.. off. Not necessary to change it entirely, just a couple of shades or something. Not so dark.
Should we emphasize more on roleplaying/forum/games/items?
The forums. All I see there is games and chatting. No mention of the manga or anything, either.
