This is all my opinion, as a 2-day member of this game, but I think something along the lines of Ragnarok's /noctrl command would be very nice.
Also, a lot of games have an assist hotkey, which would be very nice in this game as sometimes it's hard to target an enemy when your party member is in front of it, and by the time you target it, it dies... Also, when an enemy is targeted and you're standing practically on top of it, it's hard to see its health bar. If a targetted monster could have a little info popup in the bottom right corner or something with the monster's name and health bar that would be nice.
I think the hotkey bar should be open when you start the game the first time. I had to press random key combinations 'til I got the hotkey bar to pop up... Also perhaps the thing that shows users names all the time could be defaulted on...
When you run out of an item that was in your hotkey bar and then buy more, it isn't automatically back in your hotkey bar, which is annoying, as is the fact that your hotkey bar isn't saved from computer to computer.
Oh and um... sometimes npcs tell me I'm too low level to take a quest, when I'm a good 5 levels past what they say is required. Someone speculated that that was the default "can't take this quest" text and I had too many quests, but I have about twice now what I had then...
Oh and the text in the chat bar cutting off at 80 but not warning you when you hit the 80 mark is ANNOYING. If it's only going to let you type 80 characters, it should stop you from typing past that point, not let you type another 20 and then find out when you try to send that you have to delete some odd number of words in order to make it send...
Anyway, I'll stop for now, I noticed more things, but that's a bit to work with already. All in all it looks like a nice game though. Ragnarok ripoff-ness aside... I stopped playing Ragnarok because of the GMs who were more like bots for all the response they gave even when they were trying to start a conversation... ... Anyway... One more thing though. When you double-right-click, why does it skew the screen? North is usually up, no? It's really confusing to think it's all centered and North is up and have the big map open which doesn't turn with you, only to find you're walking in the wrong direction 'cause North is actually the top right corner... Know what I mean? Anyway, that's all for now.
Oh, and emotes don't work when you have a certain chat set... like if you have @ in front because you've been party-chatting, then you type /sweat, then instead of doing the emote, it says "/sweat" to the party. Should just make the emote...
