this new website, dedicated to roleplay and in-character stories,
we'll publish articles related to the Saga, the current events and
the Ryzom background.
News
A good way to keep yourself up to date on the current events is to
read this section; you'll learn about what happens on Atys, discover
details that you could have missed in-game and find announcements for
some of the upcoming events. You may be already familiar with this
section, since it was previously published on the Ryzom.com homepage.
Features
Here, you'll find valuable material in your seek for knowledge:
interviews, rumors, chronicles... This is a section to carefully
watch to get a grasp on the overall scheme.
Opinions
This is your section! It will be opened in a few days; your character
will be able to publish short notes on the roleplay website, by writing
to the editor.

Nevrax just published the Atys Chronicles, a new, roleplaying-oriented website. The address is: http://chronicles.ryzom.com/

reason: it wants to be readable at 1024x768 but for me (firefox and ie) both give vertical and horizontal scroll bars. yep, i know it's a little "small" for today standards, but site is designed (and best readed) to be fit entirely on screen. it fails to do that (and i think thats the reason why i cant really figure out from what end i should start reading
otherwise good work... just make it a little smaller (just a little
Re: The Atys Chronicles - New Roleplay Website
i'll be short: in terms of usability this is the worst piece of website design that i have seen in quite while
in opera and firefox the website fills at least 1024*842 pixels, in ie a few more due to an added black border on the right
also there are inexplicable black borders on the top and the left
this makes for a website that is a very painful experience in any resolution equal to or below 1024x768, due to the need for contant scrolling (note: i wasn't even able to fit the whole content on the screen in fullscreen-mode)
also the content of the "features"-iframe doesn't fit properly, so it displays a scrollbar
then in the main text frame there's an indentation on the first line of every paragraph, which makes it quite hard to read, especially if there are many short lines
it seems to me like the designer set out with the goal to make a visually impressive site and did indeed succeed with that, what the designer seemingly completely forgot was that there are people who would want to actually use this site and which are limit in resolution...
i'd like to see this site remade in a way that would accomodate lesser resolutions, down to at least 800x600 and if necessary would aid there
content-wise it seems quite interesting and like i already mentioned, beautiful, but i'm missing dates on the event-texts

Re: The Atys Chronicles - New Roleplay Website
The interface needs a little brushing up.
The content however and the site itself is very nice, and will be very nice to have. A one-stop resource for all of us roleplayers.

Re: The Atys Chronicles - New Roleplay Website
yay! more "out-of-game" content!
I don't mind having a place to go to see where we've been. It's definitely easier than trying to decipher the forums and put a list of "current events" together.
But I think it over looks an opportunity to use the NPC's in-game to provide the story, to create the atmosphere and to immerse the player into the setting.
I'll admit that the NPC's or the browser in-game are probably too limited to provide anything lengthy and reading text in-game might be pain inducing and tossing some text and images together on a website is a lot easier... but... wouldn't it be cool if NPC's had more of a purpose??
Regarding the website... It's "Pretty!!"

Re: The Atys Chronicles - New Roleplay Website
I'm using Firefox and a 1280x1024 resolution. No need of using my mousewheel; the black borders are a bit too big IMO.
Content is interesting/entertaining THX.
But PLEASE change this:

Dont we have enough of these links on this site? A proper button with a nice text would look much better.
All in all good job Nevrax. THX
