Is it just me that thinks it looks a bit blurred? It looks like it should be sharp and clear but it isn't.
Don't get me wrong I love the design tho

Assuming you mean the big thing on the main page it's blurred cos I had to shrink it from 1024x768 original which Teas created down to 800x600 so it would fit on the screen.
It probably lost clarity then.

As I said in the other thread the proper portal/passport/thing looks even nicer than this one but it's not quite ready for us to release it yet. A couple more weeks and it will be ready for everyone to see.

It's a meaningless squiggle, but as meaningless squiggles go, it's not bad :-)
The name does read as Plane Tarion X though, which is a bit odd.
I'm not as positive about the screenshots of round 10 though, but hopefully we will be able to use skins to make it look whatever way we prefer?

I just saw them - missed all the buttons as they were off the bottom of my screen *cough* 800x600 *cough* and it looks poo did the same person that did the splash do the ingames? and if they did where did they steal the large logo thing from?
I still have the rd3/4 psd's im sure. I'll update them for pa10 if i get a free account.

Sum1 made it judging by that comment, it looks great on my resolution Buy a decent gfx card
Seems theres a 50/50 opinion atm, half say , half say !
Maybe a scroll bar needs adding or something!

The graphics you see on the screenshot are placeholder graphics that are being used in the beta while the graphics teams come up with something better.

Ask Teas to save it at a lower res then. It will make it look better and more professional.
Oh... and the font used... I dunno... I'd make it smaller (11 or 10 px)... it looks so "plain HTML" now.
Apart from that, good job.

The main pic is Ok, although as someone pointed out the split T looks like it shouldnt be there for some reason.
It would be nice if you didnt have to scroll down to click the links too on a 1024 x 768 resolution.
Some of the changes sound good too. Not sure Im willing to pay £10 to play though. I really think they should be aiming for a smaller amount to attract more people.

But alots gone into it, until the player base is big I think they gotta charge for it :/ Think of the £/$ its taking to get it up and keep it running!
And thet really should sort that http:// bug!

It's been ever since they moved to Jolt that the http:// internet bit stopped working, though the World Wide Web works still...
Jolt's website say they have a 1GIGabit connectivity over the UK, and I agree. Loading from College @ 2mbit leeched off JANET from warwick University, all pages loads instantaneoulsy, faster than most websites... This during 9.5 where player base was huge..
£10 to cover the amount of internet bandwidth your going to use during three months..
£10 to cover your share in 3 or 4 server machines
£10 to cover the wages of 3 or 4 people involved in keeping it running, a high stress job, how much would you like to get a year to be spinner or fudge?
£10 to cover the IRC servers, there is about 4 of them, again, a service with PA.
Over a 3 month period, £3.33 a month, less than the minimum wage per hour...
Now is £10 too much?

If I remember correctly Spinner and Fudge get a percentage of the "profits" from the game, plus any "living expenses".

To be honest, yes. I dont see Planetarion as a £10 product no matter how you put it. My usage of the game simply does not justify that figure.

If you want the best graphics for PA, they have to be Round 5's graphics. I loved them then, and i love them now, i would love to see them back.

They're the nasty blue ones.
Cimager and Heartless used them for the payment centre website in Round 9 -- http://main.planetarion.com/paycenter/
(not a complete set -- but should give you enough to remember them by)
