[SIZE=1]Hey,

since the merge of our Battlefield, Call of Duty and QuakeWars websites into a single website called http://battletracker.com I am receiving a lot of mails from AOT Members if we also want to merge our AAOTracker.com now with Battletracker.com too. Specially since we have made AAO-Stats available there ...

Basicly we did not had any plans to do this, but then more mails I receive from people who would like this idea to have all stats and services available on a single website, then more we think about the idea to merge both websites and transfer our AOT Stuff and Services to Battletracker.com. A decision was not made yet and I would like to know how you guys think about it !?

For sure, the current AOT Website works fine and basicly you have everything you need here, but it's an "old" website which contains code and stuff which is more then 5 years old. Many things have changed in the last years, we have new Internet-Browsers with new technologies and many other improved stuff. Battletracker.com is a brand new "Web 2.0" website, using the latest technologies to make pages loading faster, looking better and making it much more user friendly for users.

Like already said, the current website works fine but it's also very old and not very easy for us to update something or to add new features. Too many stuff which was coded too dirty years ago. So if we should decide to keep this AOT Website like it is, you can not expect many more updates or new features here on this website. On Battletracker.com you would have the chance again to get many new features and services that we can not offer here.

And that's what I want to know from you! Are you happy with the current site and want to keep it like it is for the next years or would you like some 'fresh wind' and new features ? Basicly you would not lose anything. We would transfer all user-, forum, player and clan-data and all features and services that you know from here, would be available on Battletracker.com too! Services like Serverlist, Buddylist, Player- and Clanstats, Toplists and our whole forums would be available there too. Just looking better and more features would be available there too in the future. So you would not miss or lose anything and also get new stuff! We also could prepare everything for the upcoming Army 3.0 game there too. Here on this "old" website it could get very complicated to 'add' a new game ...

So again: You would not lose anything and keep your accounts, stats, forum posts and everything you have here. But you would have the chance again to get more stats, an improved sig-banner system for better Player-, Clan- and Serverbanners, more Homepage tools, Clan-Guestbooks, ClanWar Calender, more detailed server-, player- and clan-history, a much more user friendly forum-software, support for different languages, an player award system and many many other stuff that you would like!

What do you think ??? It's up to you![/SIZE]

But as I'm not playing the other games either I want to ask if there will be an option to hide everything else than AOT

For sure this would be possible. We already have a "favorite game" option available there, so if you select AAO as your favorite game, you will always see AAO Stats when you click on playerstats, serverlists, toplists or whatever and don't have to switch between different games / toplists. It would only show the games that you are active in and which you selected as a 'favorite'.

Tho im wondering how it goes with the forums, which is for the me, and some others, the most important on the site. Is everything, including topics/post count/gb/ going to be moved to the other site or??

Everything would get transfered to it and the forums would look basicly identical with the current one. For sure we would merge the "offtopic" and other forums, but the AA Forums would stay like they are. It wouldn't look much different for you ...

so would we have to register again with this battletracker? or would we login as normal with battletracker?

if we move means we need to make a new tracekr account?

No you would not need to register again. Your Account from here would be available there too including all your data, forum posts, stats ... you would not miss anything there.

i assume your costs are going down to?

For sure. AAO is going down ... we have lost 50% of our visitors and forum activity within the last 12 months and it doesn't look it will change until 3.0 comes out. Merging the forums with the battletracker one would probably help to get more activity in forums like offtopic or whatever ...

Don't, AAOT has way too many good times throughout my days of gaming

we had good times. But currently we have bad times And again: Most of the stuff would look identical for you! You have your forums, stats and all you need ...
