As an advert for the game, the UK website does look about six years old. 
So if it brings more people in, I'm all for it having a makeover.

Once more, I think it's related to having to have anything that is posted there translated into two different languages. Having said that, you'd think they had enough time for doing that by now... guess people are still busy with GR and new in game stuff.

Considering they have two other languages to cater for: German/French, which are both provided up top on the EU page, I really don't think there is any defending a lack of information due to translation time-loss. To the best of my knowledge, Avatea is brilliant with the three server-languages, but it's pretty extreme to ask her to translate everything from the NA into them, there should be other people for that.|

There is indeed a discrepancy between our websites and we are looking to get that sorted out. Both sets used to be managed separately but we are hoping to bring all of them to the same level of content sooner rather than later.

Damn, man. I never even knew the US site had better write-ups. I gotta read this.

...huh. Why have I never heard about THIS guy?| One unusual rumor about the Skulls that has sprung up since the Rikti War is the story of a lone wolf hero obsessed with the destruction of the gang. His or her name is unknown, though some of the street tales suggest his (or her) family was killed by Marrow Snap and Marrow Drinker. |

| Some stories describe him as a feral hero, barely able to communicate. He pulls in new heroes to his cause with a terse, muttered phrase, Go. Hunt. Kill Skuls." |

I've only just noticed this one, when I was looking up some information for villain groups. Now, updates to the game guide on the site can be sporadic, but I remember a period when the US site was getting a fair few updates in the Enemies section, with information on the leader of the Tsoo, Tub Ci. It even had it presented in a 'case file' style, and included screenshots players had taken.
The current EU site does not have this, and thanks to IP redirection, a lot of players won't know to find this information due to the site automatically being selected to the EU version.
The EU site has 8 enemy groups listed, while the US site has 36.
It's not just a numbers issue though, the amount of data presented EU side is minimal, compared to the amount US side. A comparison:
http://eu.cityofheroes.com/en/game_g..._enemy/skulls/
http://www.cityofheroes.com/game_inf...ry/skulls.html
Now, let's have a further look about. The Game Info section US side lists Guest Authors, Bases, Contacts and other such bits. Some contact is shared between the sites, such as on the Mission Architect page, but it just seems a bit shoddy. Even the front pages have a noticeable difference, with the US site having a tabbed flash box containing links to I17 details, Dual Pistols, Going Rogue site, the Mac Special Edition, the latest Super Booster, and the one image we get, the Pick A Side and Join the Fight image.
But hey, at least the Trial Link now works.
I guess I'm just saying that the EU website doesn't seem to see the love that the US one does.
PS. DOOOOOOM
PPS. MERGE THE SERVER LISTS
