On screen text display and variations

Sorry if this is already been discussed I have only recently started the beta

One of my concerns is the way the Text box works.


Currently the box using the same font and color for In game player conversation and Blacksmithing and a number of other things.

While all the while only displaying approximately 6 lines so its VERY easy to miss conversation meaning you have to constantly scroll up to check you didnt miss anything.

Also if you have your character screen open or a shopkeeper window you cannot see any messages at all

Im aware some NPCs are displayed with a Gold Font,

Surely it cant be that hard to give Real Players there own color font aswell so its not so hard to read

Great feedback! We'll look into better defining the different types of messages that appear in the chat window through color.
