Jumpgate Evolution will be like everyone else.
by K. Michael Alexander
A recent post over at Massively featured an interview with Net Devil‘s Scott Brown in which he detailed some little tidbits about Jumpgate Evolution‘s UI. The article quote Brown saying,
“There’s still a little bit more work to do that, so I don’t know if it’ll be ready at launch, but all of our UI is built in Flash. This is with the idea that anybody can build something with Flash and put it in the game.”
Flash is an excellent tool, it’ll be exciting to see what players will create and build that gives Jumpgate that extra oomph. This is neat and all, but these days aren’t customizable HUDs in MMOs expected? World of Warcraft, Age of Conan, Lord of the Rings Online, all the big names allow users to mod the HUD to me I would say it was breaking a players expectations to not allow custom UI.

It will be interesting to see how this plays out. Especially considering how poorly Flash menus work in CS4.
