The default layout of the EC is horrifying and probably chasing people away.


So yeah I happened to install and fire up the EC the other day and what the hell is this crap? What were they thinking?

"Yeah let's put the gameplay in a little window in the center, but still make the chat window awkwardly overlap it. We want the screen to be like 45% dead black space at a minimum. That'll save us lots of room to put two tiny red and green buff brackets. Also make the text borderline unreadable."

Bro @Kyronix dude there is no way this isn't having an outsized impact on F2P newbie churn. I know you've heard all the "we moved a tutorial door five feet to the right and retention went up 10%" game developer stories. This has to be hurting you. If I came in fresh and saw this and wasn't already financially invested I'd just close it out and go play something else.

Seriously just move shit around until it looks like something someone might play on purpose and then save that config as the default. This should take basically no time at all.

    Wait till you see how some mobs look.
    Focus on what you can do, not what you can't.

    I said it a lot of times... I have tried moving away from the Classic Client to the Enhanced Client many many times, even tried to force me to accepts its graphics but it is just too much ugly for me, it makes me sick having to look at it... I have always gone back to the Classic Client...

    I would LOVE to play the Enhanced Client for its way much better handling of macros, targeting and all that stuff as compared to the Classic Client but, even if my gameplay ends up getting severely crippled remaining with the Classic Client, I just can't help it... I cannot stand looking at the Enhanced Client graphics.

    I wished it was possible to play the Enhanced Client with the Classic Client Graphics look.
