  ====== Improvements to Client UI ======

  The user interface of the clients seems a bit plain, and most actions ar
e done through text commands and key bindings (sometimes confusing to new 
players).

  ===== Possible Ideas =====

  

    * Organize the spell list a bit. (its hard to find one spell in a larg
e list)

+         - Perhaps an expansion tree by |-- spell category --> spell leve
l --> individual spell

    * Some sort of "quickbar" which items, spells, and skills can be assig
ned to slots

    * Server-Negotiated menu, that can hold commands added with plugins.

-   * Should provide menu items for many more of the commans so text inter
face isn't needed.

+   * Should provide menu items for many more of the commands so text inte
rface isn't needed.

+         - Configurable key bindings for these menu items allows same use
 pattern for experienced players

    * Add client side display of parties.

    * Add more virtual stats (bowmode, applymode, etc) so that client can 
be kept more up to date, as well as provide menus to change them.

    * Quit character menu item should probably be very clear that it means
 character will be destroyed and everything lost.

+         - With a verification dialog, "are you really sure you want to p
ermanently delete this character?"

    * The quit character, disconnect, and quit from client may need to be 
clarified.  Disconnect should probably be 'disconnect from server', quit c
haracter should perhaps be renamed 'delete character' or 'kill character' 
so as not to be confused with the normal 'quit' menu item.
