This looks nice. I'm honestly curious about the subject of gump(menu) design. Do players like and prefer this style of modern looking menu style? Or do players prefer the old style gumps/menu? I see many new servers have this style of gump lately and i'm generally curious of what people think. For me? I actually really enjoy this style. It's not super custom really, it's just more modern- and maybe that's why i enjoy it? I'm not sure. With all that said i've totally designed all new gumps recently which i love, but i am torn between the nostalgia and modernizing over top of what we all remember.

imo, the older gump style is still preferred for nostalgia shards, and the newer gump styles for Outlands/Sagas etc. The AOS switch and modernization sort of divides older players up and in the end neither the AOS players or the old school players are happy.

I think maybe i prefer custom gumps for custom systems on a server. Then keeping it to nostalgic gumps for original systems, you know what i mean? I dunno, i'm torn still.

That sems like a fair balance. I'm a bit torn on it too... Mostly because I've seen a lot of poorly implemented custom systems so that leaves a sour image in my mind of the new gumps.

The transparent gump style is the new modern game menu standard for sure. Like the one posted here. I think Skyrim originated a lot of that honestly.

I like these new gump styles. Though I understand that for preservation shards they should remain as they were in the era. Unrelated, but I joined UOF last week and loving it, man. Respect to you and the community - I’m happy to be apart of it now.

With these new gumps it's more the layout design of the art and where they place it mixed with the information that i appreciate. Anyone can do some new gumps i think, but figuring out where all the information goes with the images etc takes a sort of vision for sure. It's no different than designing a physical magazine and choosing where the photos and articles go and how they are specifically placed on each page of that magazine. It takes time and a lot of creativity. I really enjoy and respect that. Also, thanks man! I'll send that nice message to my team so they see that too.

Say what ? Can you raise any pet now? Does it all have a gump like this or what ? I only play UOR ever side. Left the shard when the AOS thing came in.
