You might want to think about a different way to navigate through the features section. A more hierarchical approach would probably be better. As would forward/back links in multi-part features, rather than the back that just goes back through the browser history.

It would be very nice if it became the full repository for game lore, updating and moving the stuff from http://www.ryzom.com. I see that some things have been included from the forum which I think is a good idea. Any other bits of offical lore in the forums should also be moved across I think.

Other nice bits to add would be holy books of the factions, and in general more depth to the teachings of the two factions.

It is good that you now have some of the features with bits like the Ibian Peldix feature as it does have some current time contact with Jena. This gives more credability to the claim that Jena is a goddess rather than just relying on the Karavan claiming that it is so.

However I think you could do a lot more with some of the material. The newest feature "The Erlan Chronicles" rushes through at a very high pace it doesn't add anything really that was not covered in news item such as the "We are building a new world" and "Report On The Faction Councils". It could have been used to bring to life the events it describes, more of a behind the scenes type article. It could have had much more from the various leaders about why they felt the need to go to war.

The layout needs some more thought as the navigation element takes up far to much space. Its not so bad with shorter items, but with most of the features and items like Drakfots tale it is just plain annoying.

So in general I would say the site shows some promise but needs more work.

The point is the site has scroll bars AT 1024*768 (since the site is that wide, and not the few pixels less it needs to over come software borders)

Yes, you can play the game at 800*600 - It's just not recommended (and you'd need to be 1024*768 to start the game anyway :P )
