Q&A:

Q: Minimizable Client and FPS Cap Setting: 
A: No current plans but a future rewrite of graphics is planned to address these issues. 

Q: Game Platform (e.g., Steam) for Publicity: 
A: Plans to join a platform like Steam are under discussion, but technical improvements are needed first. 

Q: Engaging Combat Mechanics: 
A: No short-term plans for new combat mechanics, but new skills and effects are being considered. 

Q: Additional Payment Methods for Premium: 
A: Not planned at the moment, but in-game items might offer premium time in the future. 

Q: Movable UI: 
A: Yes, improvements to save UI positions are planned and may be implemented soon. 

Q: Gear already in-game from other sources: 
A: Not officially planned due to modeling issues. 3D modeling work is in progress, but no timeframe is set but we will be adding new armor in the future. 

Q: Revamping Razin and World Bosses: 
A: A world boss map is planned after DoT5, with random world boss spawns. Including Razin improvements, etc. 

Q: New Weapons Between Dot4 and DoT5: 
A: Not currently planned. Not completely against. Some Item levels will be increased to avoid compression. (IE DoT4 to 170) 

Q: Dot1 Mages: 
A: Not a priority currently. Possibly in the future. 

Q: Duam Sword in Game: 
A: Not currently dropping; will get re-added to drop tables soon. 

Q: Mir Box Skills/Refining Low Level Skills to "Better" versions:
