This is awesome. Nice Damon good work :)
Some suggestions I have is...Possibly having players donate to get rid of the google ads for now? I find those annoying...if it is possible. Other than that everything looks great. Oh btw, my email address is (randomly given) Rhiannon069@kaoswar.ning.com Thats so sexy.

There needs to be more forms under the "About Me" section but I am sure you are aware of this...
and this could also be edited under the "Kaos Box", so nm that lol.
Under the members page, if there can be advanced search options (for city/area code, state, and age).

I simply adore that fact that you can customize your own theme....Even given the css layout and such. Yay.

As far as profile pages go, you should allow players to have a separate page for each of their characters, or option to load different characters onto the same page, whic would have an image of their character(s). Perhaps automatically add the frontal picture of each player as you see them in the character select screen.
You'd have an option to "Update picture" every now and then in case you change how your character looks.

Also being able to highlight any special items you have, or accomplishments, would be nice.

Maybe a public full list of any titles/deeds?

This could compliment any public ranking system you were planning. LotRO doesn't have rankings, which sometimes I like and sometimes I hate. Not a fan of those F2P games where its all about rankings and they kind of become meaningless, and yet they can be fun when they are more focused. Don't have a ranking of "Best player" lol instead have things like "Most pvp arena wins" or "highest <name> stat"
Like I said, this could integrate well into the mykaoswar in how it could add any rankings into your character's page.

Actually I just saw an ad for mymmorpgspace.com
Looks like what you're talking about but more general? Might be worth checking out.

[amz181]

lol ill finally have some company!!!!!!!!!!!

[jimmy6154]

I just joined up. I like it but man is that page very busy...

[Damon]

Awesome thanks guys! We will work on your suggestions.

I am a big believer in niche social networks for specific games, not a general site for everything. Most of us gamers feel connected to a game, not a facebook or myspace.

[a chewy rock]

I personally don't like myspace or most social networks for that matter but since this is more specific I'll more than likely hang around it and try to get involved. Still have to look around and do something to my page.

Exactly please explore the site! and invite your friends.

[Damon]

Guys! the music on your pages are AWESOME. Really love that feature. I get to listen to all the music you guys really like. You know its funny how we all listen to the same stuff. Keep going! We will keep taking everyones feedback and refine the site.

[hanstin]

I'll make one at home in a hanstin way :P

[Rhiannon]

Not so sure about that....right now I am uploading 100 songs (took ages...lol). I have a wide range of taste. Some crap you guys have never heard of probably.

[jimmy6154]

its all great stuff can't wait to listen in.

[a chewy rock]

I have a wide range of listening too. You can see if you listen to all I have on there but there's still lots more to show it. It just takes forever to upload all those songs.

[amz181]

Every1 come to MY page becoz it is the best... i got the best header, i know that much...

Damons obviously talking about my page... (even though i havent been on for a day, so i didnt know that every1 else has signed up) :p

[Rhiannon]

Wow...well...I had some errors uploading some great songs...up to 44 mp3 tracks now. Gonna have around 90ish by the time this thing finishes. Having fun with it besides that fact.

[Damon]

Thank you everyone for giving mykaoswar.com a good run through. I don't know about you but its becoming highly addictive!

1. I keep going to listen to music on everyones page while i do work.
2. Can't wait to watch videos and add everyone to my page as well.
3. Its great to see people for who they really are. Can't wait to show you guys our studio and more open development from us.

Thanks for being social!

[reddo]

Music you say?! I ought to find my ol' cd's then (I've been using IMEEM because I was a lazy goose). As for videos.. well, I have yet to come up with any.

[jimmy6154]

yes its very cool, but damon you need to clean your desk HAHAHA

[amz181]

I don't know about you but its becoming highly addictive!


I know, i really like this :D

[jimmy6154]

[amz181]

the default banner is permanently their, it complicated how i did it... so .... You know what ill make a tutorial for it on the ning forums soon...

[reddo]

yes its very cool, but damon you need to clean your desk HAHAHA
Either they drink a lot of coffee, or the need to clean went away after day 3. But I do see a hint of organization in the plastic cups.

[Damon]

I drink tons of coffee. We should sell Kaos Coffee lol

[jimmy6154]

a drink called Kaos would be awesome!!!!

[Avacon]

I drink tons of coffee. We should sell Kaos Coffee lol

Kaos coffee sounds intresting but how bout i send ya some kona coffee, good stuff or come visit i have my own espresso maker (srry worked in a coffee shop in the past and became super addicted).

[jimmy6154]

I'll take a venta 8 pump vanilla Latte please...;D

[Avacon]

only vanilla ..... well ok but i can make alot more then just vanilla how strong for the espresso do you want or should i get some arabic coffee for ya (its ten times stronger then even java).

[jimmy6154]

WoW you are a Coffee GOD... hit me up with the good stuff and don't stop the drip, I'll would it intravenously if possible.

[Avacon]

Na not a coffee god. I use to work in a high class coffee shop for little under a year before i had to move from the location. The coffee knowlage i have is nice because i am very atticted to good coffee. The only downside is my friends when they come over thier first motive is a cup of 4 shots espresso 2 pumps of carmel flavor, 2 pumps of mocha, 2 pumps hazelnut, and 2 pumps of white mocha. All ingredients mixed together just right to make a smooth drink that gives you the energy boost u need and a exellent smooth taste. Oh and don't forget the 2% whole milk that you need to heat up to 140 degrees. That way it can be warm for ya then mixed all together and walla the Avacons Special.O0

[Damon]

If I open a coffee stand in the office will you work there Avacon?! I'll pay you to make all us Kaos Devs keep going!

Edit: Hey guys! look! one more for 100 members on the mykaoswar.com social network! Thanks!

Don't forget the skittles lol...

And on days coffee just won't cut it I find having a bowl of fruity pebbles and replacing the milk with coca-cola well, lets just call it a legal form of speed. Just watch the coke it likes to fizz a lot when initially pouring it into the fruity pebbles.

Most folks go ewwww.... Until they try it then they usually respond, "Hey this ain't half bad, wait a minute my arms starting to twitch what the..."

[jimmy6154]

I'll have to try that one!...

~EDIT~

[Rhiannon]

Wow I am impressed. Avacon you get a cookie. Yeah guys he kinda got stuck in Hawaii....help a fella out lol. Caramel Iced Latte when you get here??

[Avacon]

havn't made those in a while to make coffee smoothies all i need is ice ,espresso , flavors, milk, blender. good stuff for a hot day to. but i always enjoy hot java on any day ask everyone on exfire always getting more java lol

[reddo]

Meh.. Coffee tastes bad imo. Especially since the first cup I ever had was black.

[Avacon]

well were not talking straight black coffee. were talking espresso much better then regular coffee when you need that extra punch to help wake and keep you awake. but if straight black coffee is your thing then try some arabian coffee its almost equal to one coffee pot of espresso in a shot class lol. back when i was superly addicted to coffee i drank about a coffee pots worth of that stuff a day.

[Fungii]

nice idea, enjoying the music too!

when i go to the home page, my windows comes up with a java script warning of impending windows lockup unless i skip the script?? (which i do to be safe)

erm...anyone else get this prob?

[amz181]

nearly every1s getting it. I get it worse than every1 else, though, firefox crashes for me, so i dont go on it anymore.

[Cady]

I definitely need to try this Arabian coffee of which you speak. (I'm an uber caffeine addict)

[Avacon]

I think sites like this, the personal myspace kinda thing, are better for this situation. Especially since the population is small and growing, it'll give people an easier way to communicate or to share ideas/hopes for the game.

Not to mention once the game is up and running, people will already know each other and will have somebody to play with (hopefully) :)

welcome ;)

its is a very good idea, and it is alot easier to communicate. Watch kaos tv on ning sometime, then you can communicate upfront

[reddo]

Kaos TV? link plzplzplzplz
Otherwise I may have to resort to google.

only 58 members until we reach 200. ;D

[amz181]

[Avacon]

[Avacon]

The social network hit the 500 members mark and is continuing to grow. All dew thanks to the support of the puplic that has made it possible. "For when the war comes about may our blades and guns be found"-Avacon.
