SoGamed 3.0 Launched

Posted by Blitz at 16:53 9/3/2004.

Not much to say in this one, pretty self explanatory. After a little wait, SoGamed 3.0 has launched with a new sparkly design to bring you all the usual gaming goodness.

The site's extremely slow at the moment, hopefully that'll improve soon. H0n1g has written a 'welcome to...' column containing most of the info you need to know. For anyone experiencing anguish over the new layout:

"For those of you crying in despair at the thought of losing the old layout, rest assured that it'll be back within a few weeks, since content and layout has been heavily separated to allow different sets of skins. "

Update: The site's been taken back down temporarily, but should be back "within the hour". Traffic problems indeed.

I like it slow atm. This way it doesn't load the stylesheet when the text appears so I can actually see/read what I want. I just need to find something to do for 10 mins before I decide to read said text. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

The design is very nice but isn't suitable for a gaming community. Also, they should at least have a style changer so you can enlarge the text.

Oh and I love the marketing poll.. you can see where the site is going :)

Shame, really. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

this is a quote of a gold-star member from the forums:

"Good job indeed.

I'm not really sure what i expected before i saw this, but what i
do know is that this has fulfilled any expectation i can think of.
Speed, design, lay out, features, it's all there ;)

This truly is a site worthy of being called The best gaming site in the world :)"

made me chuckle anyway [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

Superb, take one of the most original (if not slow as s***) site designs on the net and turn it into this generic crap.

Well done sogamed, you've eliminated the sole reason i ever came to your site: originality. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

If they'd been the first to come up with this sort of look for their site, it might sit slightly better, but it's the fact that it looks like all these other 'happenin' esport sites. Still, once skins are enable folks should be happier, the content will hopefully be the same as before.

forgot to mention somewhere, cheers to those that submitted it. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

I don't particularly mind the slowness, because I believe the speed will improve once the site is fully up and running. As for the design, with the ability to have custom skins and make it looks like the old SoGamed style, then noone can really complain, because it is giving the user more options. I do however dislike the new minimum set of characters for a nickname (3), which means I can longer use my nickname on the SoGamed site, and instead i'd have to choose a nick like (Xt0), which will just annoy me, and stop me visiting their site. I don't understand why websites/forums do this, some people don't want a name that need 1280 screen res to fully read. This has added a restriction to the new SoGamed site, when it should have taken away restrictions. All in all I think the site will be better, but I believe this to be a stupid mistake.
