Subj: Web Client Update!

We are pleased to announce the availability of a new version of our
browser-based client, located at client.lusternia.com! Changes include:

- The layout has been rearranged to make the important information more
accessible

- Most icons have been redesigned to look better

- The map has been significantly improved and sped up

- New graphical indicators show whether you have balance and equilibrium

- Health and mana bars are now displayed at the bottom

- You can now change your avatar, displayed to the right of the input
line - this avatar is linked with your site account and your forums
account, if you change it on the client, it will change on the forums as
well

- The prompt is now hidden by default - you can re-enable this in the
settings

- Added new information at the bottom - gold, ping time, time of day,
unread news/messages (if any), etc

- The background music has been expanded

- Plus a variety of little tweaks everywhere

Even if you aren't using the client yourself, remember that most new
players do, so if you are a guide, novice aide, or just generally
interested in helping our new players to settle in, it may be worthwhile
for you to check it out!

  • Oh wow, it's been a very long time since I've looked at the web client. It looks pretty darn good.
  • Nice shiny new look, love the discussion with the random divine!
  • It has a lag meter.

    It has a lag meter.

    I don't care about knowing how much lag I have. I care about lagging.

    Unless the aesthetic overhaul also corrected the grievous lag problem the client had (going by my own experience and what I've heard from others), it's still not really good for anything but influencing, really safe hunting, or RP :(
  • I think the big culprit in the old client was the map, and the notes do say that the map was "significantly improved", so hopefully it won't lag as much now.

  • Yes, if it does still lag, let me know (post here) and I'll pass on the info.

  • So far it is lovely. Thank you for the updates :)

    The lag is less with the new client, but I'm still getting 1-2 seconds every time a new map has to be loaded. I use Pale Moon, a Firefox derivative web browser.
    Everiine is a man, and is very manly. This MAN before you is so manly you might as well just gender bend right now, cause he's the manliest man that you ever did see. His manly shape has spurned many women and girlyer men to boughs of fainting. He stands before you in a manly manerific typical man-like outfit which is covered in his manly motto: "I am a man!"

    Pony power all the way, yo. The more Brontaurs the better.

    The original announce post was 2248 and this post was 2448... I kept going crazy trying to figure out what I was missing!
