Hey, nice start on the status bars! Really, good work and a very nice idea in the first place , I will be watching this thread.

Borderland's UI is pretty awesome, but I am worried about how well it can translate into the context of an MMORPG. The minimap issue would, of course, need to be fixed and I'd say just use a standard minimap, skinned to match the Borderlands theme and placed in a convenient part of the screen (i.e. top-right, I don't think Borderland uses this part of the screen for anything). There would also have to be many more features added, because an MMORPG's UI must give a lot more information - and much more precisely - than that of a game such as Borderlands.

However, luckily for you, Borderlands is very much influenced by RPGs like Diablo, so the foundations are pretty much there.
