omigosh what happens if I don't fill this in correctly T_T
Layout update.
Okies, since the site isn't loading too quickly at the moment I decided I would make a new entry x3

Ok, so now that the layout is out and that many users seem to be pulling a fit here's my little bit of thought.
I'm personaly not too fond of change. I didn't like change back when they introduced the second layout (even if I ended up liking the second one better) so same goes here. It's not anywhere near bad (should I just say good?) it just changes the feel and it'll take a bit of time to feel at home again ;P.
I can easily see myself getting used to this layout however. Not to mention it's a good compromise between design and performance.

Bottom line being that I like it and I think it's rather successfull. (And despite everyone's whining, people will like it xD)

A couple things I dislike however:

- Darker theme. I like clear pastel colors and the black around my avatar makes me look fat !! gonk (personal preference xd ) Edit: This has been fixed yippy!!

- The map which "linked" the entire site together and gave it some sort of spacial impression has (temporarily I hope) lost it's meaning. The site feels a tad dispatched like it is at the moment

Mind sharing your thoughts?

It's lighter now! @w@

I don't like it at all much, except the way stores are now.
Since there's the HTML version, however, I feel I can curve.

I have to agree with you that the map has lost its meaning. There's just no point to it anymore. I also have to say that I don't like the my avatar being on the right instead of the left, but I guess I'll get used to it.

I don't like how my avatar is floating in a black void T.T
I liked how when you went to the forums or the shops your avatar would look like it was in a town or a shop.. now its just sorta.. floating all alone in the right.

And yeh, the maps are totally pointless now (with the exception of getting to the housing stores/fishing/item exchange.. which doesn't make sense, why would they hide those??) which I don't like for the same reasons.

It feels more like a business than a friendly hangout place, while everything works great (minus slowness) its just too impersonal and cold.
