    What are your thoughts on custom made UI's like we had in WOW, EQ, Vanguard etc.. from http://www.eqinterface.com/ i believe it was.

    Will we have the ability to make our own custom UI's?

    Also Magelo was another tool we used to help show off our characters. What do you think of this option too?

    Yeah having the ability to customise your UI would be useful in the same way as you could with EQ. I did spent a while trying out custom UIs but I always went back to the default one, not because it was a better UI but becasue I was fed up with patching it after all the game patches so I stuck with the default one. I can totally understand people who do want to have a custom UI though. Some of them are great.

    As for Magelo yeah I used to use that all the time for my old EQ characters. But what I'd really like to see is a clone of the old Vanguard Players website which had that functionality and a lot more built into it and it was included in your subscription.

    I defnitely see custom UI's on the horizon, but some of it could come down to immersion issues and design philosophy. 

    Bag/Inventory modifications:

    Popular modfications are single bag display. Some even offer search abilities to filter the bag into only showing those that match.

     

    I could see there being a design decision to keep individual bags opening in different windows. This would be key to organizing your inventory and finding your items.

    We actually have a few threads on this topic already, one of the more recent and in-depth ones is https://www.pantheonmmo.com/content/forums/topic/2212/will-ui-mods-be-possible/view/post_id/29432 (Champion's subforum) 

    I will let this discussion continue in general for non-champion members but please use the search function prior to creating a new thread to make sure you are not starting a duplicate thread as there is usually a very in-depth discussion already started on many subjects.

    If you are not sure, you can always send me a PM as I am always happy to help :)
