User interface update 20 Sep
Last week we announced that at the end of this month we will introduce an updated in-game map. That is not the only change we are going to introduce, we also rethought the GUI (Graphical User Interface) of the game. In order to improve the GUI and to make it more user-friendIy, we had to make some changes “to make space” for a new feature.
Top menu
First of all the character page, skills, quest list, map and chat was moved to a more central location, to the middle of the top part of the page. We also added the shop and menu icon to this section.
Notifications
The game menu button had to be removed from the bottom right corner, because this is now dedicated to the notifications. In the notification area the players will now receive all kind of information, for example quest updates, gathering, level ups, duel notification and system information as well.
Quests
Some of the players had problems with activation of the quest trackers so we implemented some changes to make it easier to use. Now players can simply scroll thru the active quests and with a single click they can track them.
Skills
In the left bottom part of the screen you will be able to see the name, XP and level of your character and the skills you selected from the skills tab. These will be shown at all times to make it easier to manage them before entering a combat, but will only be active in battle.
Chat
In order to increase the playable area on the screen we are introducing a transparent chat, but in the chat options you will be able to set if you would like to have transparent or solid chat background.
Click to see the GUI in details.
Only couple of days until we introduce the PvP and by the end of September new map and GUI will be implemented.

looks good but will have a few questions when it’s in operation, and especially hope will be better able to see and use battle territory. Right now mobs have access to more space than players and chat has to be moved constantly. will the line about item picked up disappear quickly?
Looks great!
Looks nice, clear and less cluttered. I’m looking forward to trying it out.
OOOOOOO
this realy looks great
GUI is amazing
This looks very nice, we will see how it works out in practice. I hope that is an extra skill slot that I am seeing. If so, that will be a big plus! However, there is one thing that detracts from the beauty of the page–the avatar’s face. Myself & several other female players have made our views known on how much we dislike the looks of this avatar. I hope our opinions have been taken into account, and that this will be changed very soon.
Yes we did take your opinions into account. We are already working on the character customization, so when creating a character you will be able to choose from other faces as well. :)
That’s good to hear, Xiberion, thank you. However, I notice you say “when creating a character” does that mean that we are stuck with these avatars as our characters are already created?
Might we also get to see the ‘other faces’ prior to them being made a permanent, and possibly, unchangeable feature in the game too?
