The entire architecture of the new site is built in PHP which allows us to organize and construct it faster. On the user end, you'll be able to sort data in ascending or descending order based on a field you choose. For example, if you want to list weapons from strongest to weakest or list enemies from most experience to least, you can use these features to help refine the information you're looking for. PHP will also enable us to implement a more effective internal search engine. PHP is backend programming language that manipulates and operates coding in conjunction with databases.

Yes, the new site uses less coding and is supported by a faster server and line. The site is fully functional in Netscape, but there will be a few discrepencies with background colors and images in table cells. The sorting options, help popups, CSS, and site architecture are all Netscape compatible. However, some pages will look like crap and that's what you get for surfing with Netscape. We've tried to be open-minded about cross browser compatibility, but we're only building one site, not three.
