This message is intended for the devs.
Hello there. First off, I just discovered your game, watched a few videos and read some articles. I'm very enthusiastic and appreciate your passion and hard work towards creating such a game for us to enjoy. It looks very promising, can't wait for the release.
One major issue so far though : I would advise you to rework some of the UI and interface elements (inventory, item icons, player and party bars, spell icons...). As I may be misinformed, I do not know whether or not they are simply placeholders so far, but I sure do hope so.
At the risk of offending the person in charge of such, it just feels cheap and ''light'' as it currently stands, meaning... less meaningful, engaging and therefore immersive.
Some of the various tabs look really good, but the inventory and other areas should be like a ''fantasy-garnished book with a soul'' feel with amazing borders, details and such. While some elements are good or even acceptable other aren't, the way it currently looks is merely ''OK'' - but why simply pass a test when you could ace it ? Rework it, give it more... material/depth/unique details.
1) Give item icons depth, make them a tiny bit bigger, border, something. Same for the spell icons, both look extremely bland and uninspired. Find a way to give them ''flavor'' or ''life''. Heck you could even keep the current designs and simply make enhancements, no need to re-do it all from scratch.
2) Same goes for the life/mana/party bars. Just no, too bland, too basic. Do you wanna be the king, or do you want to be just just another mere soldier ?
As a fellow designer, creator and avid mmo enthusiast myself, I'm just trying to help, as it's a core aspect of any game. UI and interface visuals are extremely important and are often underestimated. It will in turn help bringing you additional players as well as retain current ones. Trust me.
If you need further advice on the topic or another, let me know.
Keep up the good work,
Yuniel
