As the title says, I think you guys should make an an "about/general information/server features/what we offer" section for when you hover over the "server" tab on the site.
I think that it's without bias when I say I'm convinced you offer the most blizzlike and retail-like experience out there. The people checking out the website need to know this.
I think you should shamelessly boast with whatever the server has to offer in a nutshell, which something I personally check for first whenever checking out a server; to read up about the experience rates, working content, scripts, how bugfree it is etc. Basically all that it has to offer. (Especially that it offers transfers)
When I saw the playerbase(it was the polar opposite of peak times when i first did) and no features tab anywhere I got the wrong first impressions and thought that this was just another unremarkable server in a pit of many. I was not convinced at a first glance and have actually left, only to thankfully do my research two days later and find just how wrong i was.
I believe first impressions are unfortunately important and when like me people browse one of many wow top 100 lists something needs to grab their attention or they may just skip the server.
P.S.
On that note the website design, while it's quite nice and I like it, it's not a blizzlike copycat such as dalaran/molten and some other sites are. I believe attempting to mimic blizzard would better imply the quality the server has and better captivate people checking the site out.

Re: You should add a "general information" under the server
Well we have server info on right side of first page truewow.org but l believe even that first page also need to be changed. Your idea is somewhat good and is also could pointed out for signatures on voting sites which also need change.
l will try to make some short info myself and let others see if fit.

Re: You should add a "general information" under the server
Yeah, putting it on the right under "New to the server?" is what I actually meant, but I was looking at the "server" as I was writing so I got confused.
The right side is good and generally is where most servers put their general info, and as of now general info is absent there so yes I think putting it there would be ideal.

Re: You should add a "general information" under the server
I don't think we should aim to ba copycat in that regard. We are a server that 'attempts' to replicate the WoW game experience Blizzard gave in WotLK, but we're not trying to be like Blizzard. Copying anyone in anything is lazy and implies lack of dedication, IMO.YourStepDad wrote:On that note the website design, while it's quite nice and I like it, it's not a blizzlike copycat such as dalaran/molten and some other sites are.

We are not Blizzard, we are TrueWoW, and we should attempt to make WotLK better than Blizzard could. The "Blizzlike" adjective should remain in the rates and game mechanics only, otherwise it might stall us. At least that's how I think it should be...
In short, I'm tired of the Blizzlike fail argument to the bone...
"With life, no matter what you do, you are all in. This is going to kill you. Might as well play the most magnificent game you can while you're waiting, because... Do you have anything better to do? Really?"
Re: You should add a "general information" under the server
Ok l was lazy today so l will only write concept.
Four aspects of playing:
I PVE
II PVP
Ia PVE Solo: Questing, mobs on way, events, achievements, XP, drop rates.
Ib PVE Group: Dungeons, Raids, world bosses.
IIa PVP Arena: Arena points rate, activity, seasons
IIb PVP BG: Honor rate, number of working bg, activity, twinking.
Additional notes: Voting, Vote shop, Donations, GM activity, Developer activity, Spells and abilities, Time running, Location, Server info, population number, transfers, R-a-F.
Questing: Most of quests working (over 95%) and most of those that are bugged can be solved with Quest Completer tool. This is unique. Can point this out first as no one else have.
Mobs on way: behaviour as agro range, out of combat range, speed, abilities, talk if any.
Events: World events, battleground weekends, fishing contests, dark moon fair, RDF, RDF HC, Raid Finder, custom.
Achievements: number of working achievements and at which part bugged. We might point out that over 50 players earned "Its Over 9000!!!" on this server. General, Quests, Exploration, Professions, Reputation work completely, World Events and Dungeons and Raids missing few.

This is all l could think of this server. l will attempt to short it for banners on vote sites.

About the design: explicit use of someone else's copyrighted intellectual property isn't cool. We had a "blizzlike" website once and it was covered of copyrighted images.
We need an "about us" page but I think none has worked on that so far, so this is mostly pending
