This is my first post after playing the tech demo and all I can say is that it looks great. The graphics work is exceptional, and the layout of the town is outstanding! With this in mind, I have minimal complaints (read suggestions).
1. Too much lag - especially in the spawn area, I wondered if a clip plane would remedy this but someone mentioned that it was tried and the \"fog\" only slowed the game down. I don\'t understand how this is true? Also on this note, maybe making the underground and above-ground areas into two separate \"zones\" would be nicer to the processor?
2. The text box - it would be nice to only have to hit a key to switch to text entry mode, rather than reaching for the mouse every time you want to type something. Plus, being able to resize the console text area vs. the messaging text area would be great in the future as well. A command history would be cool too.

3. The updater - will we be able to use the included updater in the next release or will we all have to download the entire planeshift sources/binaries each time?
Beautiful game!
Keep up the GREAT work!
