    Ah, I was wondering if you distribute barf bags to all that need it. No, I am not concerned since I already did. Thank you.

    - When is it over? OMG I need my fix!! *super spazzing*
    - Fix the damn bugs, dammit! I'm so angry! I'll quit!!
    - New codes out there? I like free stuff~ *wink*
    - When will we get new content? QQ
    - Will we get sales? I got a ton of gold to spend.
    - I'm bored, I'll create a useless thread to annoy Opkorock.

    I thought this game was supposed to be 18+ now you highlight everything in little boxes like we are little kids. Maybe you need to re-evaluate the age limit on this game.b:victory

    I came here just to say that I think the new font for all the windows and freindslist genie stamina hp bars etc. are abit.. well yeah, too big.

    Perhaps inserting a new font size slider for it would not be such a bad idea as then we have the option to choose for ourselves what we prefer.

    I lasted 15 minutes xD

    The font on it's own is alright but it's not suitable for a game when you have to stare at letters and numbers all the time. Read things, type, lots of text moving etc. I have a headache.......

    Given how some express themselves in world chat (letting their hormones control them), I guess that maybe.

    I like the new font but the additional info about the type of chat is annoying. The colors indicate clearly what type of chat you are in. Having the extra info "guild" etc is now in place of the player name. PacMan - I changed letters from bold to normal and they are ok

    I probably am gonna bashed for this.

    I think people are making such a big drama over the new chat for nothing. While I understand some interfaces are cluttered (such as the genie) It's not that bad as many are picturing it.

    As for the shift + click for items It's a pretty good idea. There's no excuse for typical questions: Can I see?, Does it have max bonuses? *simple click and done you can see exactly what the item has*.

    I play on a 22" Screen (don't mean to brag) I see the chat fine and while not everyone has the monitor of large size. I do agree that the font needs a little retouch.

    Bottom line: the idea is good and very well thought. Just needs a few adjustments to make it more to player's liking.


    PS: I did vote no.

    I don't mind the new font but the big icons in the chat saying what type of chat it is are just plain annoying...they take up too much room. If these stay then I think they should make the chat window wider so more text can fit in on one line.

    BTW Off topic but I just want to QQ about the new wedding chapel...why not add some new content for us single people...singles clubs, bars, special "loner" quest something like that lol.

    It`s just ugly, you get headache if you have to chat with somebody + genie/mailbox/etc messed up. I`m not even getting into how idiotic those "guild/public/etc" before message look like. Actually only thing I find better in font update is that blue is actually readable till you get headache, before it wasn`t. Other than that I like the new quick button for hypers, I think thats it, rest of the update is just facked up.

    I find the font very readable, more so than the old one.

    There are several problems that need to be addressed such as text overlap and text going out of bounds in U.I. controls and so on.

    What would be much better is if players could select font faces and sizes to suit there taste.

    I realize that there's a limit to how customizable fonts inside U.I. controls such as buttons can be, but this is less so for a chat area. The chat area should also be able to re-size, move etc. as well.

    DirectX has a quite robust font library, so it's hard to understand what's going on here. It seems that this area of expertise needs some attention.

    With more work the chat system could be made into something, but as it is now, and even before the latest patch, the chat system misses the mark.

    Perhaps one of your programmers could be convinced that interface programming is cool too. It's not all about particles. ;)

    If it isn't broken don't fix it. There are many other bugs to be fixed. I hope they fix the font. I don't care what they change it to or change it back but the one that's on there is just butt ugly.
