The man is certainly making good choices in hiring talent. I just hope he's not afraid to try something truely different with his MMO project.

Jesus, hopefully the game they produce is as good as the talent making it.

Blizzard UI....maestro?? I guess for people who don't know about, can't figure out, or are too lazy for add ons (or maybe have no other MMO experience) the WoW UI might be kind of nice....but it's certainly not good. Best thing Blizz did with the UI was open it up for developers to put in all the hard work that Blizz should have put in.

Play some other MMOs. See how easy Everquest or EVE is to get the hang of, and I bet lots of other popular ones I've never played. You gotta remember that WoW was a revolutionary game at the time in some ways and has been out for 4 years now.

Blizzard has been incorporating users' ideas and allowing them to basically rewrite their interface if they so desire. Hopefully it was this guy's idea and he'll to the same for this 38 studios game.

When I play WoW, the only interface changes I make are to the bags, quest log, and by adding TitanPanel. It seems to me Blizzard got just about everything else right. I'd say the only thing that's absolutely terrible is the quest log.

Everquest 1 and 2, check. EVE, check. City of Heroes/Villains, check. FFXI, check. LotRO, check. Star Wars Galaxies, check. Ultima Online, check. Anarchy, check. Simpler and more user friendly it is, but that doesn't make it good or effective.

Here are some simple mods you might want to try in addition to those-some kind of minimap mod such as SimpleMap or SexyMap, put it in a lower corner or centralized and see how much easier it is on your eyes. DoTimer, so you can track timed effects without memorizing a zillion icons. ArcHUD, so that you don't have to look away from what you're doing to see you or your target's health/mana/etc.

Though not as simple, Pitbull is great for freeing up space, too-do you REALLY want to see the portrait for all your party members? Do you REALLY need to take up an entire side of the screen for 5 party members when you could fit a full raid data there?

Here, this is pretty close to my UI, notice how much more information there is with far less viewing space taken up?

I believe all of the following work here:

Use Axe
Show Axe
Use Axe on Trees
