I dont know about anyone else but I preferred the old pic on the login page. I suggest a campaign of letter writing and maybe someone can put up a bunch of protest posters at Kep's house, complain about the wrongfull dismissal of the other girl ;) |

Yeah. The old one had this geeky, girl next door thing going. Quite attractive. The new one looks like a dance hall extra from a b-rated barbarian flick. Edit: It looks like Arkham changed it back.Last Edited: Jun 6, 2008, 12:17 pm |

I dunno, I think he's playing around with it still. They both have points, the old one was pretty good since she's holding a golem head after all. I guess the new one might mean the magic system is coming our way? I know, getting my hopes up for no reason. :) I'd still like to see the older pic around somewhere though... |

I agree with Marnen and Joachim. The new picture seems sort of porny. I get a little embarrassed every time I log in. That may be idiosyncratic, though. Could be a racy picture is the best way to get people into the game. |

Ransom said: Could be a racy picture is the best way to get people into the game. Well, it might get folks to click, but only if incorporated in a banner ad somewhere. Last I checked, those still all had the old pic in. Did it change? Can't check at my current locale unfortunately. |

Nope, spotted a new banner too, with the new girl. I am wondering why she is shiny all over...like somebody ran her over with a floor buffer or something. |

Both of them make me look over my shoulder at work to make sure no one's looking...so... Maybe no pic? or a battle scene or something? |

She's not a new girl. She's the same girl with a bit of a makeover.... My main problem with the new picture is that there's nothing there that says 'golem'. At least the old picture had her holding a golem's head. Now, if it were her sending a golem into battle, that'd at least be, um, relevant. (Don't get me wrong-- I like the new picture, though I'm with Gryficus on seeing who else can see her....) |

Or maybe some beefcake instead. :) Actually, I keep thinking they must be from Rildesjan or somewhere else in Askari. There's no WAY those outfits would work in Ulvania or the Ice Muse. (edit:) Ok, just saw one of the new banners. It does have a pretty neat looking wood golem in the background, had to look twice though.Last Edited: Jun 6, 2008, 8:42 pm |

Hah, I really didn't realize what that was in the background until Halftea pointed it out. I have to agree with everyone else on making sure noone else is looking at the login...my girlfriend laughed at me hard enough for the old picture. |

But aren't you used to that by now Iaidan? I suspect the new girl's shiny look is due to a through application of body oils. We all know how important a daily skin routine is for a girl to look her best. T. |

I never really liked the old picture much- it didn't give enough of a sense that the golems were the focus of the game, in my opinion- but the new one is much worse. Yes, the art improved, but so what? It could be a really cool picture of a space station, and that also wouldn't really apply. Our mages do not make little balls of fire, since we can't cast spells; the one and only thing that we can do is make golems. The picture should reflect that. But, hey, whatever, I guess. I don't have to see it except on login, and it's hardly my site. |

I figured it out-- she is a golem. She's made of clay, which would explain her shiny skin. It would also explain her, um, fantastic proportions.... |

Ouch, unnecessary roughness on Titania! The golem story makes sense, but what about the ball of fire? Is that some clan weapon? |

I think she is from the future, and has traveled back in time to taunt us with features we don't have yet. Also, make no mistake, a magus is possessed of mystical ability. Perhaps her fireball is just for looking good to newbs. A magus equivalent of a sparkler. T. |

Hey I just noticed, the background behind her is the same graphic as the time of day at the bottom of the premium screen. And like that graphic, it CHANGES along withthe time of day!!! So while she is teasing with her Magus sparkler, she will stand unmoving, day in and day out. More evidence she is a golem? :) |

The old girls was drawn as well, her pose and apparel were more fitting. Why not get the artist of the new girl to redo the old pic? |

haven't you people ever heard of fanservice??? i mean flip thru most any magazine, and you will find at least 3 ads that use sex appeal to sell something (or watch 10 mins of TV...) ex: tv commercial- "there's no such thing...as a hot, sweaty, sexy...dude" with video of a girl clubbing. besides can you blame arkham for being lonely? he is stuck building a game for us to play. by the way thanks arkham!! >D |

Oh, I'm all for fanservice. Hence...more Beefcake! After all, those magi who did time as apprentices to a Clan probably built up a bit of muscle, hauling those golems into and out of the shadows. Not to mention running around to retrieve lost Clan items... Magi of Muelsfell calendar anyone? Male, female, Co-ed.. The demand is there! XD |
