You haven't learned ANY lessons from SOE? Don't copy someone else's stuff. Change the site back because this design is puke-nasty.
PS - You're copying RLMMO's logo. Please change it.
That is all.

"If we don't attack them, they will attack us first. So we'd better retaliate before they have a chance to strike"
I think ur right
, i check that web and MMORPG.com have the same logo of them 
http://rlmmo.com/index.php is this a coincidence? 
who knows 
P.S.: I think this isnt the right forum to post this, this should be in "New Site Comments/Suggestions"
Pfffft, the RLMMO logo is way nicer.
And I kinda hve to agree, the layout is worse. Anyone tried to copy anything from a post here...sheeeeeeesh.
I agree that the new layout sucks. I mean it REALLY looks bad.
I hope this is just a temporary thing.
They did copy it.
P.S. the site really doesnt look that good anymore either.
Change for the sake of change, and not to improve functionality, is a Marketing approach to design, not an engineering approach. Generally, that doesn't serve the customer/reader/consumer very well.
Now SOE and MMORPG have both provided a clear object lesson on this.
Not of much personal consequence, I do no business with the former and less and less with the latter. Happy trails.
Something worth pointing out here guys. We have been using this logo since about 2 months before E3 and we have the business cards to prove it (they were passed out in box loads at E3, GDC and other events). I also have the invoices, concept art, etc dated early 2006. Our new layout started development over 6 months ago and
Then you have the registrar data for RLMMO.COM:

That shows that RLMMO.com was registered Sept 2006. So maybe we should be making claims that they stole our logo design from one of the hundreds of business cards we passed out at E3? Of course we would not say this because a) the logos are not really that similar and b) that would be ludicrous.
So now if you want to take off your tin foil hats for just a moment, you might want to do the math on that one. You can also see our new logo in an Oct issue of a couple WWII magazines (which were printed in early Sept) where we ran a promo with WWII Online and decided to use the new logo (I can get the magazine names and issues if you need them after the holidays when I return to my desk).
If you don't like the new design that is 100% ok, we want to hear that - but please don't stoop to the level of acusing us of stealing a logo from another site...especially when you have no backing for such claims (after all as stated above how do you know they did not borrow our ideas since there is more evidence pointing to the fact that our logo existed first).

Score 1 for Admin.
Score 0 for previous posters.
And before the "your an MMORPG.com fanboi" comments fly out, I also agree that the new layout sorta sucks. Some things are nice, but I have found navigation is a little bit more difficult.

Since you have the stones to post all this...
Prove it.
There's no web archive record for rlmmo.com either, none at all. None There's no robots.txt at all, so nothing would be blocked from indexing/archiving the site, and there's no meta NOINDEX and NOARCHIVE.
Sounds like a new website to me. I'd hedge my bets that MMORPG.com made the logo before rlmmo.com and very much indepedently and without prior knowledge.

The logos are not even that similar.
As for the new layout. I'm not so keen.
