    The graphics changes in R17 are simply amazing in general - there are lots of enhancements that were not even mentioned in the release notes. One change however that is horrible is the font used for on-scree names. Its horrible - it looks like its boldfaced instead of properly hinted.

    More playtime tells me that in general the font change is not horrible - its only horrible when the camera zoom is up close near first person view. Inside a city when zoomed near conversation mode is where it looks bad. Otherwise, when zoomed out a bit (where i normally play it looks good)

    Hopefully they allow us to change font size/style and color by release...some people I play with have a hard time seeing certain colors and need a bigger font to read.

    Slightly related: is there any reason we can't have more than one line of text above characters' heads when they say things in quick succession?

    This was a really cute feature in UO for people who talked a bit too quickly, like if they were panicking or angry! Nostalgiaaaaa
