general ui question

Me and some buddies just started playing sod and we want to know if some of the ui issues are by design, bugs or just not implemented yet.
first off, no straffing key mappings! No customized hotbars? Why doesnt moving close the loot window? Why doesnt moving stand you up automatically? Why does sod use the old old vendor window? How come when i die, it snaps me back in to first person view from 3rd person? Two of us could ever get the client to run in full screen mode, this wasnt an issue with either on p99 or live. Also the names on models dont render until u are almost on top of a model, this seems like a bug to me. These are just a few things we found last night. We all downloaded the latest eq client and followed the instructions and used the patcher to patch the latest eq install after we copied it sod folder. This server seems like a wonderful idea but some of the ui issues just seem hard to deal with for anyone that has played live or even p99.
 
The dev team is hard at work upgrading the client to "2.5" as they refer to it. To my knowledge SoD was designed and coded for the old original EQ client (this game is old dawg) so upgrading it is apparently a lengthy process.

This should iron out most of those issues when it goes live in the future.

You'll get used to the UI if you stick around, there's a pretty great game here if you can see past the clunky old EQ ui.
 
The clunky, antiquated client is, for the time being, part and parcel of the SoD experience. However, there's a huge subforum devoted solely to discussion of the upcoming client upgrade. You can view it here. :)
