Wonderking 101: The User Interface

Last time we talked about the basic controls of the game. Now we shall focus on the game’s UI or the user interface.

The user interface is actually the most essential part of a game, which practically serves as a guide for players in gaming adventures. In wonderking, the UI was designed to ensure easy access to most settings for those who are still not used to the keymap. A screenshot below will give you a sample on what to expect on the game’s interface.

1. Player name
2 – 3. HP- MP bar
4. Attendance window
5. Announcement ticker
6. Server / Channel Information
7. Mini-map
8. Quest Check
9. Chat window
10. Skill slots
11. Experience bar
12. Player menu


As you can see, the interface of wonderking online was well thought of. Basically, all of these items are self-explanatory and doesn’t need further details. Also as an addition, whenever you are in town, and looking for an NPC, just hover your mouse pointer at the minimap to see the location of the npc. Other features, such as the attendance window, shall be discussed soon.
Watch out for the next episode, we are going to discuss the inventory and the warehouse!
