Nice changes. I especially like the new horizontal Quest window and Achievement layout.

If anyone was wondering how to easily request features to the UI, go to this thread. So far Rothgar has stated that multiple quest tracking is pretty high on his to-do list, and he has shown a very early concept.

I'm trying to milk him for all he's got!

I suggest people check out the test server them selfs. The achievements tab is really interesting.

Claim Items got a really nice rework too.

Yeah, it basically looks like the marketplace window now. Definitely an improvement.

I wonder if the way the journal achievements are layed out in the UI use any kind of structure that can be duplicated?

Hopefully it's not all just hard coding like most of the expandable categories that exist in windows (Like the help window). I'd really like to make things like the Info Center easier to edit by having it use data rather than a bunch of positioned code.
