The calm before the storm

- Start date
All is going well, we have been knuckling down and trying to get the interface complete for phase 3, as each day goes by it's piecing itself together and starting to look a little more like the finished product. I apologies on behalf of the team for our lack of communication but we want to reassure you that we are still here and working hard. Don't forget that the count down is still on and ticking for our phase 3 start!
You can see the count down at http://apocalypsemir.com/
Some sneak peek previews of our interface! Still subject to change and is not the finished product.
Feedback is welcomed.

The recolouring of the UI and the login screen looks very impressive. Will be nice to see a new touch
Login screen looks awesome.
But the blue i'm not too sure on, as i'd imagine other screens would be the same? But will need to see how it looks in game, may change my opinion lol.

Although it looks decent, and you obviously want it to be unique. Things like this don't really have much baring on the game, especially the start up and char select screen, you are on them for maybe 10seconds, and I for one surely don't care for the aesthetics of it. Same for the spell screen, use it to assign spells, 5seconds, done.
Like I say, you want it to be unique to your server, but seems like something that could have been worked on post release as it's not a necessary addition really.

I was the same, the Colour was a little weird at first, but the more I have logged in, the more I love it.
the whole interface is the same colour yes.
Again, please look before commenting, I think the only thing we recolored was the interface itself. Everything else has been changed completely. Im sure you think recoloring is just 1 line of code, but that would not surprise me.
Its being done as a priority for us, none of the team liked the current interface/login screen/select screen, so for us was a big deal to change!
I think its really important to have something a little different, downloading a set of files and putting them online the way they are is just lazy and we are working so hard to prove otherwise.

In a nut shell, we had many comments from our players saying that they did not like the current C# so we had to change it. Making a whole new interface from scratch would be challenging and tedious. From feedback and personal preference we chose to use the shanda mir 2 interface 'translated by the chronicles team' in which we got accused of ripping their interface so as stated by 'Unknown' we are trying to make it different in some way by changing up the coloring, some of the icons and so on. Yes we may get some things wrong at first (we all have our own opinion) but with user feedback we can develop and improve our interface.
I thought the same at first but it has grown on me, we could if a large majority are against the color give out a few more samples to let the players chose what color they like best or make it in a future patch to add a feature that allows players to chose from a selection of colors. Yes others screens will be the same, I guess to get a better perspective you need to see more of the interface but I am not willing to show too much of the interface off because it's still in development (these are only the pieces I've changed and I know are near completion).
I agree, the interface has very little effect on the gameplay but we want users from the start to get the whole experience and feel amazed rather than seeing patches of interface and at times broken pieces of interface as we develop post release.
In a sense it would be like me saying I'm going to give you a car, it has no outside or inside decoration. You would think at first 'what a pile of junk it looks rubbish' but it still does the job of getting you from A to B.
Thank you everyone for your positive feedback, I'll take on board what people have said and discuss it with the team at some point.

For Oo~Unknown~oO he thinks everything is 2 - 3 clicks.
"Right Click Folder -> Left Click Update -> Wait for completion -> Left click 'confirm/ok' "
"Left Click Server.exe -> Do nothing"
"Right Click -> Left Click Copy -> Left click Paste"
Please on a serious note if you want to discuss our 'laziness and thieving of Chronicles Interface' then take it back to http://www.lomcn.org/forum/showthread.php?91417-legendofmir-co-uk. We welcome you to slate us on other threads where we can argue your statements but do not clutter our thread with meaningless posts. In future they will be deleted.

I really like the changes. Think it looks loads better and its nice to see small issues as that you guys are willing to address and put time in to. Long may it continue when its been live for a while and not just left like some other servers out there.

Thats because he has been trying to create a sucessful server for ages and has been failing miserably. Just jealous, poor chap.
As much as a lot of us probably agree with you. I admire your professional attitudes in critism and feedback that you've received and taken onboard up to this point.
Although you've held back relatively well, it's still somewhat visible that you're letting pettyness get to you. Just remember that you're doing a much better job than most creators and teams i've seen. You should ignore petty jealousy posts such as his and focus on what you've been doing the whole time so far, because it's the type of attitudes and ability to listen that will make you guys succeed...Not lowering yourself to his obvious low standards of sniping.
