I'm off to cry. I cancelled my account because my whole server was a ghost town, nobody on it.

And then I see people who claim tons of people still play.

They had a jump in players when they introduced the World Transfer service. Also, last update was really good for those 2-Handed weapons like Scythe and Great Katana. They introduced a thing called a "grip" that you could equip on your sub weapon slot that enhances attack speed/attack power. This was after I quit, so I don't know the specifics yet.

So you will see a higher player base for now, and possbibly until after the new expansion gets released. The major problem with the game is the time sink, and SE doesn't seem to want to do much about the endgame in FFXI.

By the way, the reason my game looks different from others is because I changed my User Interface .dat files. Makes the game look much nicer.

awesome stuff, btw where did u get the style/theme for the website? can u send me the css? u know, for the text boxes and stuff, i lov it, i lov it's blue and its transparent^^

The blue image thing on the boxes came from Byond lab's page. Everything else I pretty much coded on my own with luck and trial/error for hours. It was a huge pain lol. I recommend just going on google and looking for tutorials, and making your own theme by trial and error. Here's a link that helped me a lot. http://www.mandarindesign.com/opacity.html
It may look difficult at first, but by reading and going by trial&error it gets much easier. I also recommend just editing your default style sheet. It has little guidelines.

Thank u sooo much, and i searched for byond's lab and couldnt find it is there a link? btw i applied for the BDoC, they said they're going to send me a mail wether im accpeted or not... its been 2 days.. do u know whne scizz is going online?

Well, I don't feel I have the right to share that. I'll tell you how to make your own little image though that would be exactly like that. Width doesn't matter as long as it's not too wide. Start off by using Paint. Simple enough to use for this. Now what you want to do is go down 12 pixels and draw a line going to the right using whatever color you want. If you want Blue fading to black like this one. Just make that first line your brightest shade. Then go to "edit color" and select all your custom colors. I would scale down from brightest to darkest until black. Then use each of those colors as a line above the bright one until it is black. Now you will practically be done. You have half the image complete, but hardest is done with. Use the Selection and copy your image. Now paste and right click the highlighted image. Select Flip/Rotate. It will prompt you with a new window. Select "Flip Vertical", and hit OK. Now just drag the image and mirror it to the other one. I recommend overlapping the bright lines instead of lining them up together. That will make your image 25 pixels, and perfect for anyone's box. Save your image, and now host it online. You can host it on your Byond page, or another source(ie. photobucket.com or imageshack.us). Then just code it in. I do plan on changing my theme eventually. It'll probably be more red based to match my other background image. And yes, I will follow the same instructions I gave you :P

They aren't hidden.

body{background: url([image]); background-attachment: fixed;}

.box .title, .post .title, .big_box .title, .comment .title{background: url([image]);}

Stuff like that. Oh, and as for the opacity. That's not cool, it's annoying.

same... btw how do i get the css for the blue stuff?

You type those URLs in place of [image] in Mikau's example.

That's called hotlinking, and most people including myself can't stand when people leech off of you. Save the image yourself.

I was hoping that if he insisted on having that image, he'd at least have the common sense to host it on his own. It might not be much bandwidth, but it's still bandwidth none-the-less. I gave him the link to 2 image hosting websites in one of my previous posts, and he always has his byond hosting space as well.

Either way, I didn't mean to brush off as telling him to just direct link theirs(there's already enough people leeching as is). I meant it as an example to complete your sample of the CSS code for boxes etc.
