My problem (and all my friends problem aswel) is that the dark blue party chat text is impossible to read.
I though it was my monitor at first, but after hearing everyone else I play with complain about the same thing, I know it's not just me.
We went as far as to make a custom client to fix the issue, but it turns out the colors are coming from the server directly.
I'd love to see a fix for this.

That I have no principles on, other than that it should be fixed. I've made a note of it.

Paraphrasing something I saw: How many points should I put in Gurbibal early on? I'm not sure really, because Cfrploration is so important in the early game...

I've taken to quizzically looking at my wife and saying "Gurbibal?". It's driving her nuts, much thanks for helping me discover that word :D

Take note, good people. Take note. Only good things come of this!

It really gets your hopes up for changes in the "important" stuff!


It's always nice to engage with people with a well developed sense of humor, who take the small things in life with the gravity they merit.

I would not be opposed to perhaps add an option to switch it, but I intend to keep it as a default setting. It is a more beautiful and, indeed, cultured, typeface, and I have no problems what so ever reading it. I have a problem reading all the Latin newfaggotry that is so ubiquitous in the modern era.

We support custom clients for a reason. Even though this particular stance of mine is, indeed, one of maintaining a principle for the sake of being silly, it is nevertheless the case that one size will never fit all in terms of how to best display and render information.

Morris Roman Black, Cardinal, Livingstone. Those all look purty, and you can actually read them! :D And that's just the first page!

There's even a decent, legible Fraktur near the top of the second page. Please select a legible font.

What is wrong with Fraktur? It is easier to read than most other fonts.

Besides, all the ones you listed have no character about them. They were designed to be easily read; not enjoyed for what they represent.
