Thanks all for the kind words and the generosity! I am really hoping it will be what I think it will; the EQ community is still much friendlier than any other MMOs I have played by a pretty wide margin overall. I have admittedly not actually played anything yet beyond the UI and Options simulator - still futzing around with the UI and trying to get either Savok's or Duxa to work correctly along with all the HD textures and the fullscreen fixes. Followed all the guides; still things I am not sure should or shouldn't be working in the UI.

The big thing with DuxaUI is that its targeting option blows harder than anything I've ever seen while everything else is quite nice.

So you can instead make a new folder in the UI area, call it like DuxaUIVertTarget or something, copy everything from DuxaUI into it, then go find the target window in VertUI and copy/paste that into the new UI you've built.

This gives you Duxa's nice layout and Vert's nice target window.

Generally speaking, I do at least two central chat windows: the left is general chat, the right is combat chat. I then right click the general chat window and select "always chat here". On the right, you can right click it and select all combat/spell settings.

And then I have everything else collected in the bottom/center of my screen around those chat windows.

And then just general tips to get into the game: I'd highly recommend a second monitor with the wiki open, to the page for the zone you are in, at all times. Especially since I think you mentioned you're a dark elf, their town is multiple zones and sometimes kind of hard to navigate, and their newbie zone area can be easy to get lost in since its mostly just wide open and dark.
