I spent a few hours yesterday with the new interface, I really like the idea of what you are trying to achieve.
I like having the NCP chat outside the main chat - allows you to still follow public, clan and pm while on text intensive quests etc, very useful also for team playing mini games or group questing. Job well done there

Chat is extremely important to me in the game , as the social aspect of my clan and friends here makes the game for me. With this in mind i have a few things that don't work well as far as chatting goes.

* The camera spins when chatting

* tab key to reply to last pm doesn't work

* // and /// don't work for clan and friends chat, having to click on each tab then press return to talk in any diff chat is extremely labourous chat

* flashing symbols on the tabs for the different chats when they are active is very distracting and somewhat annoying

* pressing enter to chat because ability bar always on is very annoying (i frequently try to type as usual then press return to send it and find that none of it went cause i didn't press return first grrrrrr lol

moving on to other interface feedback

I am mostly a skiller and very rarely use the ability bar (as i find it interferes with my chatting and social life lol) i usually only use it in complex boss fights for quick change of weapons and prayers. I much prefer to use my mouse and have the abilities open on the right where the inventory goes, i find this much faster in battle than using the bar and constantly looking at the keys to see what number i should be pressing. The new interfaces have made this choice of playing less accessible and i might add again that permanent ability bar open takes up extra screen i dont want and hinders my chatting

Where have the xp counters gone i love them

Running out of space here will have to continue with another post lol

Continued

I wanted to put my inventory and my equipment and my prayers etc in the same window, this must be possible since it is set up that way in one of the defaults (default 1 i think). but when i tried to open each interface and create the tabs by dragging them to the same window (in edit mode ) i found every tab it created was another inventory tab (backpack) so i just ended up with a window with 5-6 backpack tabs in it? dunno if this is a glitch?

the video is a nice little intro to what can be done, but i think to fully test this system for you we may need a bit of an instructions sheet on how to set up specific things. Maybe a MOD written forum page that helps us with step by step instructions? most people i know who either quit or complained about your eco update were mostly frustrated because you didn't give good instructions on how to use it properly. With proper instruction on how to work the system we can truly give you a thorough feedback on if its working right, and with playing around we can even add to the instructions with extra things we find too. I spent a few years working as a tester of software, just going in blind with no instruction doesn't really cut it if you want proper constructive feedback from us sorry.

On a final note for now, I think there is great potential here and the idea of flexibility in how our screen looks is a great idea.

I find the current interface easy and simple to use, could there be an option for one of the defaults to be exactly as it currently is?
