The GMS website design is UGLY.

I'm sick and tired of how the GMS website design has drastically changed. It's bulky, oversized, dull, and cluttered.
There are redundant buttons like PLAY NOW , then at the top PLAY FREE NOW, then at the top VERY VERY TINY, "login" and "Sign up"
REALLY??? Just keep it simple. ONE LOGIN BUTTON. ONE SIGN UP BUTTON. Make it right in my face like all the other websites have done.

Ever notice how KMS, JMS, CMS all have a similar great design style? It doesn't stretch all the way across the screen, its easy to navigate and keeps that cute maple theme.
The login and download button are easy to find, its color and unique. The news, rankings, and updates are simple and appealing to the eye.
The website used to be cute and much easier to look at, why'd you have to change it???
If your excuse is to make it better for mobile browsing, then make a separate site for it then SMH. Have a concept where it can detect if you're on mobile or not, like other sites do. Why would most players be on the website anyway for a PC game? I'm sure you guys can be more creative with the mobile theme too.

    I really like the colourful and cartoony look the other regions use. It really captures the vibe of MapleStory for sure

    Ours feels very serious and flat and non-mapley. I think it's following a consistent theme across all Nexon game websites though, it's just unfortunate it doesn't really mesh with Maple.

    I really enjoy other version's site setup too. I'm really into TMS's site, right now!!!

    I think it'd be nicer if the GMS site followed the theme of the other sites, but I can kinda see why they chose to make it simple.

    I like how the website is right now, it's cleaner and pragmatic, the older version just seems a bit confusing and had unnecessary visual information.
