and what is there to be better about the website anyhow? sure it's confusing, but it's a good example of the disarray that is graal currently - we don't even have a solid answer for whether this is a MMORPG or a development platform, and saying "it's both" just confuses people - they want content to play on and people to talk **** too, the minority wants development tools
frankly, if we have time to put effort into making the website better, then we should be putting that time into creating some quality content to show graal's good qualities before we even get to fixing the website or advertising the game. and don't give me some bull**** excuse about how "projects are coming along" and "people have other projects to work on" or that "this is more important so we can get more developers first" because that isn't what will happen. developers don't get drawn into a platform because of a fancy website; they get drawn in by the quality of the games presented by the platform. likewise for players, they don't play WOW because it has an awesome fancy-looking website, they play because of the content on the servers
my god; graal is going in the wrong direction constantly, and the lack of any leadership and support from CJ is just ridiculous

Well, you should understand that this isn't coming from CJ, this is coming from me and I am not part of CJ, I am just part of Graal. I do not consider myself to be an employee of CJ, nor should my announcements be considered. They are simply an announcement from Graal administration, not CJ, and they are not necessarily approved by Stefan/unixmad.
Also, I don't think you understand just how important a first impression truly is (a website). If someone has a website that is just not navigational, the person will just leave the website and never turn back. People don't want to jump through hoops to get the client.
