Switch to 3rd Person, 1st person is crap for a MMoRPG unless in combat, unless turn based.

I my self prefer 1st person, although 3rd person done right isnt all that bad

In the last release we got you could change the views.

3rd person is the \"behind you, over the shoulder look\".

1st person is the \"looking out your eyeballs look\".

When you fly around in Atomic Blue, that is called \"freelook\" mode.   This is coming out of MB release.

There is also now \"rotational view\" which allows you to rotate the camera around yourself at a fixed radius and see yourself from all angles.

Hope that clears up the capabilities and terminology.

grrr I know that in 1.004 we got 3rd and 1st person, you start out in 1.004 in first person, you can push m I think and go to 3rd then push it again for Free Look the first version doesn\'t have it, or I don\'t think it did, I am not going to check but I know there is first and third person views in 1.004

i prefer 1st person myself, gives you alot more of the sence of being there, its very usefull for combat also.

i like not knowing everything happening around me

its fun that a rogue can sneak up on you in 1st person to

would you still think its fun when a couple monsters sneak up behind you and backstab you to death? :P

dont get me wrong. first person views are cool and more realistic. but they have their disadvantages.

Ive always prefered the first person view myself. Monsters can only sneak up from behind if they are silent ;)
