So when I logged on WCM today, I was really surprised, after these 4 years of visiting WCM, it has changed it’s design drastically. Let me just review the changes and tell you which ones I like and which ones i don’t and why.

WCM has been one of my most favorite sites for years, and I know that it’s trying to improve, but not all these steps are going the right way. So let me spit out the negative commentary first.

1) The layout

Right, this is something that I don’t really like, changing the layout after x years of using a diffirent layout can just shock the community after being used to the nice layout we had until now.

Next thing are some new windows; it is not really useful to add something like “Being watched now” at the stake of lucidity of the side, it just adds more windows, which aren’t going to be useful to the users in any way.

Also, talking of useless thing’s, we get to see less useful stuff now, for example, the “What’s HOT Today?” list is a LOT shorter now, at the stake of us having class icons instead of words - it is not too hard to read the class types; in fact, I think that having class icons might be a problem for newcomers to WoW. Anyway, make the “What’s HOT Today?” at least as big as it was, and use the space on right for that movie type menu instead.

2) Movie Browser

This is a total rip-off from youtube, hierarchy of most downloaded today/week/month/all time is just wrong. I know that some might like it, so if you plan to keep it, at least PLEASE remove the all time button; this button should be under something like a Hall of Fame or something. Same with top rated.

3) Arena, and Dungeon

I actually like these two bookmarks, no whining there, love how you can see everything easily, especially in the dungeon bookmark, everything is in a great hierarchy.

4) Design

Over all, i like how it’s graphically done - the windows, backgrounds, etc. Not such an important thing, but it is nice for the eye.

5) The profile page

This is probably the thing I like most. It shows all the important information about the user to everyone, the activity log and the released movies are big and easy to see, again, no whines there, you have my big support on this one.

So overall it is not that bad, but the homepage layout and browse movies are just horrible :(, so it still needs some changes. I believe that the great crew of WCM will hear out the voices and change it to what people want!

Hello! My today’s intention in writing this blog post, is to advertise one old and awesome movie that i loved, and that i think that didnt get enough famous, while it definetly deserves more imo.

Its a music video, the lyrics and editing are lovely.

Just check it by clicking on the link here. Spread the word about it etc

Please note that I have nothing to do with the movie! I don’t even know the author!
