- "Portal Bug"
Once in a blue moon, the hunting grounds portal will not let you go through due to the way you click it, and sometimes it requires a complete restart of the game. If you are clicking in an "inaccessible area" then it shouldn't prompt you to enter and then give you an error.

- Path Obstructions
Inaccessible areas shouldn't cause your character to stop dead in its tracks. Instead, a characters vector should be calculated so if he is running into a wall at a slight angle, it should keep him moving that way. For example, in other MMORPGs, if you are running away from a monster in a forest of trees, you will inevitably touch some trees, what happens is that you tend to slide around them. This will make enhance navigation greatly.

- NPC Crowding
NPC crowding is a big problem. If you're going to make spaces that are inaccessible, a few feet around the NPC would be nice, it is too cumbersome to zoom in and look for the NPC.

- Graphic Settings options
There's got to be more than shadows you can tweak. At least textures. Also, I have a feeling the vast majority of players do not want windowed mode on default.

- Chat exit
In most games pressing escape while in CHAT will exit the chat mode. Might want to get rid of the sound though.

- Quickbar
The little quickbar where you can drag the little icons into... I accidentally clicked the button that clones it, and there doesn't appear to be a way to make the clones go away.

- Self Heal
I have to click an enemy to self heal... that's kinda weird.

- Sell All button
At least within a specific inventory like I or II.

- Item allocation during trading
Items will not post 1 at a time during trading. You have to split them off using shift into a separate inventory, and then reinitiate the trade. If you do it during the trade, it will either put all items or no items.

- Text Wrapping problems
Certain boxes look strange or the words don't wrap properly causing things to be unable to be read. For example, Julia's part-time job runs over the progress text and becomes impossible to read.

- Targeting Issues
I realize we can use tab, but can you fix the problem of clicking on a monster without necessarily wanting to run to him? This can be alleviated by creating a hot click bubble around the monster.

- Player Toggle
Sometimes Shift+Z doesn't work... perhaps creating a separate letter altogether rather than combining with Z because that is the key for walk.

But all in all, this is the best free mmo I've ever played! Please feel free to add to this list. Maybe we can create a sort of to do list for outspark.
