1. Any plans on offering highres loginscreen-graphics and new night sky textures?
At the moment they are both very blurry. If you are using a widescreen and very high textures you expect something else.

Here are some examples how a better night sky with more stars would look like:


more: forochel 2 & fancy nebula

Bad texture quality of login interface:




2. Any plans on redesigning the loginscreen so we will be able to list all/more characters at once?
(This would halve the clicks while logging in)
concept:


3. Any plans for a new community contest in the future about user generated content like textures or items?
Perhaps a "design a painting" contest for housing.

4. Any plans on changing stats for crafting gear, especially of low level crafting items and other low level items?
(Agility on heavy armor, yellow questrewards at the end of questchains like the one in Bree [item]Bree's_Thanks[/item], very low dps on purple weapons that randomly drop from enemies compared to crafted weapons)

5. Why are you so secretive? You know, you can tell me everything ... turby!
Seriously, why not full transparency and tell the community everything they wanna know?
