    We now how a uppgraded Website so perhaps it could be possible to have a interactiv ui you could check out in the Website ?
    I mean one off your most important tools is the ui so why not let us check it out !
    And i am aware it is a work in progress,still it would be kinda nice to se the ui in the state it is in anyway.
    What do you all think about that ?

    I think they should just focus on the game.

    What is YOUR definition of "interactive UI" for the web site?

    Those in the varying testing phases will try the game out as testing progresses. That is sufficient.

    Honestly, the whole UI element would really come down to when it's being utilised in PA/Alpha/Beta. I don't think it would be worthwhile having a demo version of a UI that's no doubt subject to an overhaul over this space of time.

    I don't really need an interactive UI on the website, but I am wondering when they will start releasing details on the API's we can use to make UI mods that will let us customise how things look. Even though there won't be 'addons' like in WoW, they did say they want to allow UI modifications similar to how EQ started allowing you to customize your UI.

    I'm guessing that sometime during Alpha we will start seeing them post the API's so people can start learning the ins and outs so by Launch we can have some nifty custom UI suites.

    There's a limit to how much feedback they can cope with, even if it's useful, they just can't deal with it.  I'm doubting they will want us testing stuff like that until much later.  Custom UI might not even be something at release.

    While you may be right and it's possible they have decided against Custom UI at release, but every time they were asked about it they said that it will be standard at release. Every other game that has ever had UI mods in their game has put out the UI API's long before release so players could already have custom UI mods ready for launch day. It's not even about testing the API's, it's just about giving coders a head start so the UI's will be available by launch date. Perhaps they will wait until Beta, but it depends on how long they expect Beta to be.
