ΩCCΩ Posted June 4, 2009 Posted June 4, 2009 If you visit Maraqua now you will see that they changed the look. I think that it is really cool, what about you? Quote
lovedwallflower Posted June 4, 2009 Posted June 4, 2009 i like it :) it's cleaner and much better organized than before, especially the ruins Quote
Ashbash Posted June 4, 2009 Posted June 4, 2009 I like it as well. I don't really go to Maraqua ever so I don't actually remember what it looked like before. Quote
Fishie Posted June 4, 2009 Posted June 4, 2009 It's ok, but it seems like they are making everything flash based maps. First, Terror Mountain, now this. Quote
ΩCCΩ Posted June 4, 2009 Author Posted June 4, 2009 But this one IS better cuz they just mase it cleaner and newer, they didnt make root changes to it like they did to Terror Mountain. Quote
Jonboy14080405 Posted June 4, 2009 Posted June 4, 2009 I agree it's cleaner and better organized, but I infrequently use a computer that can't load flash so I can't go to some of the maps now! Quote
Denisa Posted June 4, 2009 Posted June 4, 2009 uuu...i love the new look...even the ruins look so nice... Quote
lovedwallflower Posted June 4, 2009 Posted June 4, 2009 i really dont understand the problem some have with flash.. isnt it a matter of downloading it if you dont have it? i personally think it makes everything look much better Quote
Deepti M. Posted June 4, 2009 Posted June 4, 2009 Flash makes it longer to load on slower computers, and also makes the site look like something a 6 year old would like instead of in my case what a 17 year old would typically enjoy. Quote
hrtbrk Posted June 4, 2009 Posted June 4, 2009 Saw it last night! It looks WAY better than before. Love the navigation and the game integration. Quote
lazycrazykitten Posted June 4, 2009 Posted June 4, 2009 Ooohh, nice and pretty. Probably wouldn't have realized they changed it for a while, as I don't often visit Marqua. Quote
Lia Seeya Posted June 5, 2009 Posted June 5, 2009 The little Shoyru makes me giggle. :D I like it too, though a slow comp might not appreciate it. :( But whee, makeover! Quote
antiaircraft Posted June 5, 2009 Posted June 5, 2009 Not bad at all I say! It does look a lot... cuter than before (couldn't think of a better word :P ). Now TNT, get to work on Faerieland I say! xD i really dont understand the problem some have with flash.. isnt it a matter of downloading it if you dont have it? i personally think it makes everything look much better Speaking from the point of view of a programmer and software developer, Adobe Flash is a messy, highly unstable, pathologically inefficient, closed-source blob of crapware with almost non-existent cross-platform support. 'Nuff said. :angry: Quote
Sapphy the Swamp Witch Posted June 5, 2009 Posted June 5, 2009 I guess it's OK...I don't usually like that sort of thing, all bright and flashy and animated, but this is actually pretty nice. I preferred the ruins in their old state though :(. Quote
1tomread1 Posted June 5, 2009 Posted June 5, 2009 I only just saw it, looks alot better than before. Looks like they're gonna be converting the whole site to look more like this. Quote
everlasting__panda Posted June 5, 2009 Posted June 5, 2009 I like how they have been redesigning the different parts of Neopia, though I wish the ruins looked a little more blown-out and cataclysmic, to emphasise the catastrophe that the destruction of Maraqua was. Quote
little_k_5 Posted June 6, 2009 Posted June 6, 2009 Oooh I didn't see this either, I actually like what they are doing and my computer isn't too old to struggle with the updates.... (even though it's still too old to play Sims 3 :grrr: ) Places I can't wait to see get updated are Faerieland & The Lost Desert especially the first besides TM, Faerieland is the second most visited place I go to.

lovedwallflower Posted June 6, 2009 Posted June 6, 2009 well neopets in general seems to be for people who have fast (or in my case fast-ish) computers.. look at the games, keyquest etc So this thing with flash shouldnt be a surprise.. Quote
Reve Posted June 7, 2009 Posted June 7, 2009 All these Flash maps bug me (they're slower to load and I can't open things in seperate tabs D: ), but the layout itself is nice. I like the bubbles, they add to the underwater effect. :3 Quote
antiaircraft Posted June 7, 2009 Posted June 7, 2009 well neopets in general seems to be for people who have fast (or in my case fast-ish) computers.. look at the games, keyquest etc So this thing with flash shouldnt be a surprise.. The thing about Flash is that it's not just a resource hog, it's inefficient. Even if you do have a fast computer, it consumes a disproportionately large quantity of that computer's resources. The only advantage there is to using Flash for world maps is that it makes animations possible. And while the animations in the new Maraqua map sure are cute, I just don't think it's a decent trade off... Quote
Lion Posted June 7, 2009 Posted June 7, 2009 I don't really like the new Maraqua map. It doesn't lag on my computer, but... it's colours are way too dark. Even for me. And I like Emo-ish colours. :laughingsmiley: @AA: I knew you would have fun with that post. :P Quote
