So a lot of people are complaining about feeling lonely in a MMO how about we help give suggestions and help the dev's with idea's to make it a better experience.
I would suggest a more FFXI type chat box that doesn't fade. I think they figured out it works well with a controller in hand and keyboard in front of you. Different colors type for the different forms of shouts, tells, and area. Its also stretches the bottom of the screen instead of in a corner and can be customized to where it shows only 1 line at a time or display up to 5 lines of text. With always looking down cross-hairs or driving if its at the bottom of the screen people will always see it. It also doesn't fade so you don't miss out. before each line of text that is said it can have the form of what is being read (Area: Joe says: Anyone selling a Orange Shotgun? clan would look like Clan: Joe says: Hey guys whats up?) it could also be built in to give us keyboard short cuts like /area or /clan allows us to type quickly to people.
These are all just thoughts and directions I hope the UI goes towards especially with FFXI being the first MMO cross platform on Ps2, Xbox 360, and PC its simple and works really well.
P.S. No flaming please a game lives and dies by two things content and community.
