Basic character info

In the top left of the screen is the is the character's name, level, and health and mana bars. Underneath these are icons for any constant, activable or aura powers currently affecting the player. Where appropriate, the icon has a small green bar at the bottom to show the time remaining for the effect.

Selected target info

This appears when any player, npc or creature is selected. It shows the name, health value, and challenge of the object. The dot in the top left shows green for allies and red for enemies.

Combat log

This window logs combat information such and attacks given or received, or other powers cast. It also details the rewards given after defeating an enemy, and shows other status messages like when quest tasks are completed, when forts are attacked, or when friends get online/offline.

Compass

The upper right corner of the screen has the compass as well three smaller icons. The compass needle shows the direction the character is facing. Hovering the mouse over the compass will show the area the player is currently in, as well as their X and Z coordinates. The origin of these coordinates it the North-West corner of the world map, with X measuring distance East and Z measuring distance South.

To the upper-left of the compass is an icon showing the current time of day in-game. Hovering over this icon will also show the player how long they have been logged in.

In the upper-right is a button to open the map window (also opened by pressing 'm'). This button will also flash when a war banner is placed.

Finally to the lower right is the realm status indicator. This is to do with invasions.

Chat window

Contains the four basic chat rooms a player can have, plus any number of player chats active. All chat windows are realm restricted.

• Realm: Talks with everyone of the same realm, all over the world. This chat gets disabled while in WZ (no reading or writting)
• General: Line of sight chat. If you can see someone, you can read his general messages as he can read yours.
• Clan: Permanent chat for members of a clan. Messages can be seen in green font.
• Party: Similar to clan chat. The font is orange and remains active as long as the group.
• Player chat: Using the command /chat_Player_Name, players can send chat requests. When accepted he gets a "Player Name" tag, and can talk privately with that other player.
• Local (special): Local is a very rare chat room open during some special events. When entering the zone designated by the administrator/developer/game master this tag enables the player to talk with everyone in the area. This allows talking with realm enemies too.

Shortcut bar

The shortcut bar allows quick acces to actions, powers, weapons, equipments and some consumable items. All a player needs to do is to drag the icon of the desired item from it's inventory, spell book or action window, and release it on one of the bar buttons. Any of these items can be repated any number of times, but cooldowns are the same and are shared between buttons of the same power.

Using the arrows a player can move between the four shortcut bars.
