I like that I can move most of the interface, I really wish I could move the main bar around though - the xp, hotkeys, bags, etc.

These features arent supported by the engine =(

Thanks!

Talking with agentfive before making my UI the other day at work, ask him.

A scaleable menu and hokey bar would definitely be nice, as stated above. However, I would like to see an option added to make frames and artwork invisible as well.

well that's already possible through skinning, but an option to change the opacity of every element, chat included, would be nice :P

Lol something similar to titan mod lol. I love having all the data on screen. Like a bar estimate time tell next level up lmao. That would rock. I loved that mod. but thats far from whats cappable i think. Well saddly. Oh well hopefuly one day it will be possible.

I'd like to be able to move the main toolbar. You can move everything else but that. I'd like to slide it over to the bottom right corner. I've already moved my character window down next to the toolbar so all my vitals are in direct eye sight. I don't have to glance up anymore which is nice.

I did the same thing :P

and a thing like Fubar (or titan) would be really sweet. by far my most loved addOn in WoW :P

but the possibility to hide the minimap and an half-size main map would be so nice! (and a project like EQ2map for EQ2 would be the best tool from everyone)

Although overall I quite like the LotRO interface I agree with most of the suggestions on this thread. The biggy is lack of external plug-in support, but leaving that aside I think some of the current systems could use some tweaks.

I find the 'alias' commands great for crafting adverts, though i'd like to see them offer some combat uses. It would be a nice addition if it was possible to use 'alias' to allow targeting macros during MPvP and Raiding, furthermore the ability to assign 'alias' macros to icons which could be placed on one of the hotbars.

As mentioned in other posts, it would also be great if the 'ctrl + / ' command enabled different aspects of the UI to be scaleable.

On a final point (not sure how UI related it is) but I find the game camera very limited, LotRO probably has the best FPS mode in any MMO to date but beyond that its plagued by the same limits as other fantasy games. Anyone who's played Eve Online will know what i'm talking about here
