Nothing right about it either.
The little arrows with distance readouts that pointed to your group members were a nice addition. They're not visible in that shot since the character isn't grouped. It was definitely based on the Warcraft interface for the most part. I was okay with that since, in spite of some edgy comments now, in 2004-2007 it was popularly regarded as the best UI in the business. My main gripe with it was the pointless class icons that took up screen space--quite a lot of space in a full group--for little reason.

Where that character is at reminds me of one of Vanguard's strengths. Near the bay visible on the minim-map in that shot was a shipwreck on the beach. Nothing fancy, right? However if a player were to explore that shipwreck, he'd find a broken bit at the bottom leading into a little room dug out, which lead into another room and ultimately into a fair-size dungeon area. Neat!
