User Interface

The User Interface (UI) for Rift at this stage fits to the usual standard one sees in a MMORPG, with hotbars, a minimap, and health/mana bars. It is reported to be "clean and uncluttered". The developers are of the opinion that there is no need to fix what isn't broken. However, the UI will be customisable, and uses Scaleform.

From off screen footage, the following things can be confirmed:
The User Interface appears at this time to be very standard and clean. Similar to that of Aion, Warhammer, and World of Warcraft.
