First quick impressions and suggestions 3 Years, 5 Months ago  
So I was creating an account.
First the registration form asks for a name and login name. Why do we need both, and where and how are those names shown around here?

I think the registration screen needs an explanation, maybe telling we can change them later on (we can?)
Right now it sayd "Welcome back, sepeteus... oops... The Incredible PhotonDeus!"
I would prefer my hero name to be the only one visible. Telling your account name to other people is useless, maybe even a security risk.

Second, the initial screen looks a bit awful in Firefox 3.0.1 under Linux/Kubuntu.


Especially the smaller text is ugly (some default serif font?)
I suggest you style it the same way as the rest of the page.

And third,
this game is the "Hero Game", in English. Thus I get the impression the main game interface and forums and everything should primarily be developed in English. Even forum names are in English, so I expect to find lots of discussion going on in English, imagine my disappointment when I saw more Italian....

So I suggest an early division of languages on a higher level, clearly stating the sub-forum language and name forums according to language people are supposed to use.
Mixing many languages in forum doesn't work too well.

Hello sepeteus! Thanks for your opinions.

This game has been developed on top of a joomla site. Joomla is a content management system, and so it manages by itself login and user name, after that I had to add the Hero name: that's another db table and completely different functions. I don't feel that as a big problem: you have a login, a hero name and some personal information that you can edit and change. You can even change the login name if you want.
On the other side, I undesrstand that there may be some difficulty, for example in the forum you're sepeteus and not PhotonDeus: it's a long work and this thing should be fixed on a long term, it's due to the fact that I used standard free components that work on joomla, for example the fireboard forum, that should be hardly hacked to include the hero name.
So I ask some patience, this is going to be a very long term issue, there are more urgent things. Thank you anyway.

I had some warning about IE users also, can you send me a screen capture, please? Maybe I can do something easily. I should hack the css also, to make it really better, but, as for the previous thing, I always considered that not a first priority. For that I also asked for an expert in css programming :-P

I will do that for the past messages, although I hope that Italian will be almost abandoned in the forum

Thank you.

It came now
The page is perfect You say you don't like the times of the Daily Hero, right? I sort of agree. The font is different because it should "simulate" a newspaper, but it's actually not very nice.
I'll make some test with a standard font, when I can. Thanks.
