Fantastic website! Makes us look very professional and serious! :D
What's planned for the chat tab? I suggest an in-browser java IRC client that automatically logs into our channel. They certainly exist and hopefully it would make the channel much livelier!

Maybe use some better compression / smaller images?
Welcome to the 21st century & 50Mbit+ internet connections :P

But Len, you may want to replace your WOA logo bmp file with a png one!

And you don't need an extra graphic for that transparent text thingy effect, you can use CSS for this.

This way you can save some hundreds kb ;)

I will help you become a developer, something that you will appreciate. The mana world will help you develop false hope, something that you will regret. My team is willing to help. visit http://meway2.ath.cx/phpBB3/
:arrow: I can understand the main part of this, even if I hoped you would actually help us to get a new playerset. :(

Well, apart from the scroll bar in the middle of it - which looks a bit weird - it's very nice. Although:

Here's a more detailed summary for the front page:

Whispers of Avalon centres around a civil war in stalemate, between a dogmatic state and a violent group of rebels. The player is forced into the conflict and must choose for whom he or she will fight for. This choice brings with it many allies and many enemies as anyone on the enemy faction can engage you in battle (and vice versa).
It will be built on the Mana engine and will feature tactical class-based combat and large-scale factional PvP, and many quests complete with tough moral choices.

Whispers of Avalon is under development and GPL licenced. If you want to help with art, programming/technical stuff, scripting, writing, designing, composition, sound design or anything else, or if you have questions about the game, then head over to the forums or the IRC channel #whispersofavalon at irc.freenode.net.

I was referring to the process of setting one up, as far as HTML goes I'm clueless and forced to use a drag and drop program.
At least I'm not doing this http://tmw.ufbteam.com/manaworld/

This is a small nitpick (and I understand that the website is still WIP) but the text on the front page is formatted scuh that it's very hard to read. I suggest splitting it into paragraphs as I did and making the width of the text box narrower.

Also: http://www.mibbit.com/ <- This widget is free (with ads) and looks very nice.

Freenode doesn't allow mibbit to connect to their network due to abuse.
