MMORPG.com now comes in two different flavors. A few weeks ago we launched the new layout for the site, including the new color scheme which featured more shades of gray than a Dwarven rainbow. If you weren't a fan of the light color scheme, or you just want to see something new, we invite you to click on the dark box at the top right of any page on MMORPG.com and take a look at the new dark theme.

The only difference between a Troll and a Fanboi is which side of the fence they stand on.

I have to agree. This dark theme is nicer and much easier on the eyes.  Thanks.

 The new theme is something thats been much anticipated! but if you could, the Qoute and Reply buttons feel a bit bulky/clunky for the overal slim design and thin lines of the mmorpg.com theme. You might want to stick with the simple text of "qoute" and "reply" as opposed to the large buttons which don't seem to fit in place.

 

Edit: Actually, looking back at the 3 buttons, those small icons next to each button would work even better. (notepad with pencil, qoutation marks, and arrow). They're simple, clean, out of the way and easy to understand. Might want to try that as well.

Am I the only one that considers them to both be dark themes? Sort of dark and darker.

How about a nice blue/pink theme in the style of Hello Kitty? I think that would be far more apt.

Yea they are to dark, to grey, to dull and drab tbh.  The whole site could use more colors other then shades of grey and shades of blue.

I will say the dark is beter then thegrey, but it feels like the site has  dark theme overload.

yay for the darker color but

 

NO ONE NOTICED A LITTLE PROBLEM.

 

                                      

Go to any game on the regular colors. then you see it boot up youll notice that where the name of the game it has a linky to the games main website.

This is nifty uoi can clicky on it without haveing to go to the link tab

Now when you change to the dark colors that link on every game becomes inactive..

 

 

Just wanted to point that out to the awsome creators of this website so they can rectify it and then it will be perfect.

I noticed it too, but didn't realise it was a result of the dark theme.

Thanks for the heads up on this.  It's been fixed.

Theme is looking pretty awesome, are any more colors in development? I've always been more partial to greens and blues. :P
