besides, i'd rather see what people have said around me rather than knowing how many bombs and arrows i have or where some random person is on the useless minimap. and guess what - you can just turn off the world chat instead of turning off the minimap and GUI. it's like it was designed to be customizable for player's who don't want to focus on the history of conversation - just like you!!!

i can have space for my world chat, and you can have room for your useless crap that "enhances" your gameplay

All you have said is pretty much "i like graal better for the talkin' than the playin'"

Which goes back to you/UN treating it more like a chat client than a game

rufus is right, but its not that hard to fix it so what's the fuss?

The chat thing is a bit hard to fix because it occupies a lot of screen, and all the corners are already occupied. Upper-left is occupied by ASD and other info, upper-right is occupied by HP and such, map is in the lower-left, and the notification is occupying lower-right.

However, what can be done is, because notifications go away, chat can be placed in the lower-right and whenever notifications occur the chat can fade away until the notifications are done. The problem is notifications MAY occur often enough that this will annoy people.

Alternative notifications can be moved under hearts since they don't steal too much screen space... but that might just look bad.

Why not turn it into a multiline gui control and make it a fixed height based on the graal control size and add a scroll to it

I don't know how it works right now but from the pictures it seems to go all the way up your screen so I don't know how it wouldn't cut down on the space when you can make 4 or 5 lines visible and the rest hidden.

That's not really the problem though, the problem is that it's overlapping the minimap, regardless of how large it is. You can't move the minimap, and the chat being in the center of the screen(above the minimap) would just look weird.
