The new site looks great! Much more inviting. The images really pull me in.
Of course the deep info is a little sparse on the first day, but I assume you'll be adding a lot in the near future.
Get those FAQs fleshed out soon, you'll have a bunch of new visitors before long.
Good Job!
Indeed, everyting looks marvelous! My only complaint is that this does not help my anxiousness for the game one bit, lol.

Lore page coming "soon" in Phase 2 of the website revamp.
I also like the new site and the facelift to the forums. Nice work David (Roenick) and team. I wonder how many times Roenick died during the migration :)
Web Site/News: Pre-Alpha 5 Shakeout is coming fast—next weekend in fact! In August's stream-o-th'-month Joppa, Machail and Roenick jump in game and take a look at what we'll be playing in PA5 Shakeout. READ MORE
Might I suggest that rather than relying on date descriptions (as above) that you put the actual dates in please? News items that have date descriptions can get out of date very quickly. For instance, as of today (4th September 2020) the above should read "... coming fast-tomorrow in fact!"... or better still "... coming fast-5th and 6th of September 2020 in fact!". I am not trying to sound pedantic but adding vauge date descriptions like the above can get "out of date" very quickly and can confuse new readers if not kept on top of. Otherwise im loving it all.

I agree totally with this, relative dates are prone to confusion even when they are in an announcement that shows the date it was posted. The News items have no posting date, so there's absolutely no way for someone to know when the "next weekend" statement was posted.
However chenzeme, I think you might have chosen the wrong tab to post this reply in. VR has a thread just for feedback on the new site, I'd suggest you repost this on it:
Unless of course Kilsin sees this and moves it there first :)
the revamp is better. the social media links still dont work on the mobile homepage for over a month
