I'd like to suggest at some point if we could move forward to include the Renewal Interface in Classic, as it was top notch to say the least. We're already part way there with segmented chat tabs, and I could have sworn it was all in-game before Renewal anyway.

[Kadelia]

Indeed the past 2 years have included a lot of interface upgrades that are a shame to lose... everything from searchable storage to changing party leader and loot options without remaking party to the even more well known changes like shortcut customization, chat tab customization, displaying all 3 skill bars at once, and commands like /sh saving on logoff permanently...

[Scott]

I'd also be grateful for a response from the team to whether or not this is possible. If it's not, that's ok, but is this something that can realistically be worked towards?

[Puppet]

this would be nice. especial the renewal bm

Would save alot epople the trouble of trying to find way to fix the old bm bugs....

[MySassyAssy]

No harm in adding the interface upgrade, we can still have a classic server with additions/fixes like these that the community appreciated in renewal.

i have a feeling in less then a year the classic server will be exactly the same as renewal XD

at least with the classic GUI you can actually USE the old skins

From what I've seen, it seems as though people really just want old mechanics and no third class. If they expand maps and tweak new ones to be classic-powered then I could see this working.

I miss the shortcuts most. I'm so used to using ` - 7 for my main spells.

The current trade interface on the pre-renewal client invites lots of scam opportunities.

Here's the summary on the advantage of the renewal GUI:

-Ability to show EXP and job EXP gained when killing monsters or completing quests
-Ability to add more chat windows
-Ability to show incoming and outgoing damage to/from your character

-Customize keyboard configs
-NNoo bbaattttlleemmooddee aannnnooyyaannccee

-Auto allocate skill points in pre-requisites
-Show all rows of the battlemode skill bar

-Buff timers

-Trade interface much less inviting to scammers

-Confirmation dialog before respawning from death (less likely to accidently respawn when you don't want to)

Bump for interface upgrade (:

The customizable keys, not always having the chat bar open (as an alternative, bm mode is not that good!), and three skill bars would be really helpful. I feel like I have too many skills, but not enough bars for them or keys. And f12'ing to another bar and such is really not that great. I can't even phen switch since I don't have enough shortcuts...

Although it doesn't show all the bars in one instance, you still have all three bars. Bar 1 starts at 'z', bar 2 starts at 'q', and bar 3 starts at 'a'

[loveSummer]

+1

i asked for this like days before the renewal serve opened and no one cared enough

But with renewal you get four bars, and you can customize each key.

[MySassyAssy]

Of course, and I support an interface change 100%, but I'm just letting the Pres (person above last post) know

No probs.

The only drawback I can think of changing the UI is that people will ask for more Renewal changes.
I fully back the UI change, but people are stupid.

[UnknownGod]

+1 to this all day. The renewal UI is so much more refined. I like the have to confirm skill points so i don't accidentally click twice or the wrong skill. And healing is much easier on renewal interface than on classic.

[azncloudboi]

I agree with interface change

[Sabaton]

We need that in the future Classic client

[Heimdallr]

Those little tweaks were the price that was needed to do the Classic server.

Future may hold opportunities that I can't envision right now, but until such happens I have to say no to these being possible (yet wanted).

[TooLowForZero]

=(

Just remember this suggestion later!

[Kadelia]

They aren't "little" tweaks... I enumerated like 10 important GUI changes in another thread, and we have upcoming GUI changes like the remote battlegrounds/kvm and the navigation and monster search ingame features that won't be compatible without the newer GUI. =/
