OK. I will put here a few suggestions but not about the server, just about the forum, homepage etc.
Forum it should have more graphic. As the background should be something from Cataclysm Maybe or another world pic. Maybe another icons, not folder-looking :s
Homepage Homepage should have a logo. This one which Gamemasta made is OK.
It also should have a picture as background, not just gray...
Donation and vote reward system is also very good, cause it will takes this server higher ranked on xtremetop100.com and other like that and ppl will donate cause they usually want to get something for that.
Also every thing in homepage is almost in one place - emplace it more to make it more intuitive.
After clicking on the "Forum" new tab should open. Also "Homepage" link would be good to have
Thats my opinion!

Great suggestion but this one has been asked a couple of times b4 including by me . The answer I got for it seems somewat reasonable too . The admin wants this server simple and easy , just to serve its purpose well . And in Australia ( where the server is hosted ) , most of the ppl have 256 kbps connection which is slow ,If the stuff u mentioned above are added , load time will be increased many fold / So for their benefits and for the all of the ppl having this disadvantage , its kept simple . The staff believes quality should be inside . But then too , My strong vote is to improve as mentioned above , It also playes a huge role in creating an impression about the server to ppl . Not all will go in-game right away . From both sides , good reasons are there , So i am kept in neutral situation with a slight more support to the suggestion . And u may also think that with the present stuff , load time is still too much , Its temporary and will be fixed within some time . These are the info i got
Thank u

Its like when u go shopping. U are maybe choosing things which have good quality like few intelligent people but others will buy a crap in pretty package. Anyway with this game is harder because everybody have to create an account before play, and they wont spend few days or weeks to choose on which server they want to play. I think few pictures like server logo and background wont take that much memory. It don't have to be something big, just to look like its World of Warcraft server. I was playing WoW on Internet 128kbps and i was forced to visit WoW homepage with those armory and all that and it wasn't anything big. Well-looking homepage is like showcase, but lets wait for Admin opinion

I agree with what you guys are saying. I really hear you but the thing is Kayotikz and Wrath as said before wants to keep it simple. Try to catch them on vent or on Webchat and confront them about the idea.

maybe having a picture wouldnt be so bad then if everyone wants it. the loading time for the page is already bad enough and i figured that having an image would slow it down even more. something simple thats very low size would be ok i guess, any suggestions? and when i say any suggestions "something from wow" is not a suggestion, be specific

Gamemasta has already made a logo: Uploaded with ImageShack.usfor background a monster from Cataclysm would be cool too, really. It should be on Homepage and forum. I preffer a black, or even dark background for forum, and as i said, different icons than folders, maby skull or any wow spell icon, dunno. If you want ot have a fast site, then move those "Vote for us" banners in different link, server status text also need to be refreshed, just make a links for it. Rewards for ppl fho VOTE! And Donators! Like things from collectioners editions of WoW, Mounts, non-combat pets etc. Events like this: "First 10 players which hit 80 lvl will be rewarded! Just to push players to play more and something for new players to stay here! I will add something in future if u want, and maby other ppl will tell something interesting too.

Like to point out I only have 256 KB/s With is 1 megabit per second. Best I can get is only like 5 MB/s or like 60 or so megabits per second.

IMO the actual server site is good, nice and clean however the forums could be improved with little modifications like not having a tiled background unless it blends in etc etc.
