Its getting better. There are still bugs and missing features and they also need to adjust some critters and items (Some are too big others too small). I am starting to like it, if it wouldnt run so slow on my machine. Its currently really an issue for me (only got 1,8 GHz and 390 MB Ram).

Things i really love and which are an improvement:
- Better terrain and special effect Graphics
- Also some wearables and creatures really look cool
- UI features: easier macros and hotbars
- Automap features very similar to UO-Automap, can even see your partymembers on it, scroll/zoom it (not just see the location you are at), see special locations/quest givers/dungeons/cities/shops/moongates etc
- Higher Resolution and Screensize support
- Ingame Zoom (though it gets blurry if you zoom much in, but i read it looks better in higher resolutions)


P.S. Sitting on a bed is not possible (though it was on an early KR-Screeny) yet and i only saw macros for the bow/salute animation so far, but there might be added some in future i guess (shouldnt be too hard). Well, there were some in 3D too, dancing and the likes ;P
