A screenshot of the second version of The Will of the Ancients. Designed by Solo Wing, the second design was originally going to have banner ads to fund the hosting, but the idea was scrapped and Orta’s eyes put in their place.

As The Will of the Ancients grew in size, so did the need for a more stable web host. Some free web space was provided by the kind folks at Macemu.com, near the end of 2002. The site grew considerably thanks to the increase in web space and the availability of tools such as PHP. This lead to the idea of a second version of The Will of the Ancients. It took a while to move everything over to the new site, but The Will of the Ancients version 2 finally launched in April 2003. It used simple PHP scripts to make the design simpler to modify, and the navigation menu easier to update.
However, although the second version of The Will of the Ancients served its purpose well enough, Solo Wing began to feel that it wasn’t ‘panzerish’ enough for his tastes.
