You have overlooked one problem with that large banner. Pay attention to what else you see at the top of the forum. Ads!

I'd reckon unless Rogean or whoever upgrades their vBulletin account to an ad-less version, you have no chance of putting anything in place of them. You're probably locked into the current size of the vBulletin logo, which in the long run is a good thing. It's much easier to make a smaller, tighter banner look elegant. It's difficult keep long skinny banners from looking tacky or too ad-based.

I do agree that it might be nice to see an EQ based logo in place of vBulletin, but it needs to be incredibly simple.

the higher the width, the higher the left offset of the ads so np..

True, but you have to consider the average user. I'm viewing this at 1600x1200, which I believe to already be above average, and my white space is only about 60% as wide as your banner. What is your screen resolution?

Edit: I think i see what you mean. If you replace that image with something larger, vBulletin will push those ads to the right?

exactly

it would also be easy to add a linebreak after the vbulletin logo or anythin.

I don't ever see any ads, but that's because I run Adblock Plus. So if a new banner was added, it would look perfect for me.

So many EQ sites are so poorly designed with little to no creativity. They're usually just mashed up images and bad textures!!!! Please don't do that to this website! I don't mind the standard vBulletin look, and I can conceptualize a quick banner/logo for P99 with input from the players/gm's.

I'll step up if the dev's are interested in a full make over for the website. One of my professions is a freelance web designer, but my specialty is brand identity. I overhauled plenty of old guild sites during WoW's first year.
