The best beach I've ever been to was Hampton Beach in New Hampshire:
I've been to a few in California and Washington too (the latter had those horrible pebbles). Now I want to go D:
Good luck Buns! I hate calling people too =_=
I know you can change the size of stuff like the quest list and minimap and things like that, but the NPC dialogue boxes aren't changeable as of the last beta. I didn't poke around long enough in the beta that ended yesterday, but I'm pretty sure they barely adjusted it if at all. :/ And the chat boxes can be made bigger, but it's still very hard to read for me personally, I dunno. It's like they somehow didn't take into account people playing it on an HDTV from a reasonable distance and instead made it more suitable for a PC monitor or something.
I'm working on a post now, no one ninja me please~
Edit: Sorry I'm taking so long, I haven't had to write for two characters in a few days, haha.
