I have a couple of suggetions!
1. Better display of item stats, a litle more demanding but mouseover would be great! (my browser tend to lag/freeze a bit when clicking for stats)
2. Names on city map overview! -as a newb, I had a tough time gettiong to tarvalon, when I had to guess directions!
3. Status icon when you get new messages, level up etc. So you dont have to click through every page to see if you got a new message, level up yet or combat log!
4. Equipment I had a hard time figuring out what went in wich hand to begin with, and the difference between knives, bows, staffs etc is still vague to me. (but at least i know what goes where by now) Maybe there should be some explanations?
Just a newbs 2 cents really, love the game, Im in to stay!

For the last point, regarding equipment, I have been planning to start adding that to the wiki now that I'm starting to understand the difference (unless someone else beats me to it!). I should have some time over to do this over the holidays As for point 3, the icons for messages and battle logs change when you get new messages or get attacked. The difference is subtle, but it's there Levelling doesn't show up like that, though, but then again, you can see that on 3 different pages already (profile, nearby and also on inventory, since your max points increase). What I would love, though, is if the clan icon could change in the same way as the message icon when there are new posts there. Maybe the town icon for new messages in town chat, too?

I1. Better display of item stats, a litle more demanding but mouseover would be great! (my browser tend to lag/freeze a bit when clicking for stats) Good suggestion. I'll consider it. My concern with mouseover is that it would require all the stats for all the items on the page to be loaded whenever you visit a page, slowing down all the page openings. I personally would rather the item stats take a second to open then for my inventory to take 5 seconds longer. At least most of the time... I'll be putting up a map with all the available towns and roads on the wiki when I get a chance to make one up quick (It likely won't be the prettiest). Putting the names on the map that is on the site right now wouldn't be too helpful as it would be extremely hard to read. As Tinto pointed out, this already happens for messages and logs icons glow a bit. Perhaps I could do the same for the profile one when you level up. Short and sweet answer until someone updates the wiki: Armor goes on the body, shield and knives are in the left hand, everything else goes in the right. Knives can also be put in the right if you don't have anything equiped to it. As for the differences, right now they're very subtle differences in stats (in v3, it will make more of a difference what you use;)). In general... Swords: basic damage. Axes: Higher damage, but lowers speed. Spears: Up dodge. Bows: Up accuracy. Bludgeon: Up stun. Weaves: more powerful (yet more costly) with a mix of stats (can't use talismen on them.) Knives: Off hand weapon Shields and Armor: defense Glad you like it. Hopefully you'll continue too. What I would love, though, is if the clan icon could change in the same way as the message icon when there are new posts there. Maybe the town icon for new messages in town chat, too? I've thought about that. Clan is plausable, but I'd be really reluctant to try and do towns. With 18 towns, it be a lot to keep track of. Plus people may not care what's being said in all the towns they might be visiting.
