I've just started playing the game about an hour ago.
The concept looks very promising and the kind of game I've been looking for (basically, something that's not the same old crap where you just click on a quest master and then click on multiple items to complete a quest).
However, the interface seems to be quite hard to handle, at least for me (I'm on a 64 bit machine, win 7, 8GB ram, intel core i7, running java 1.8.0.66). I find moving around not being smooth at all:
sometimes I have to click multiple times for my character to walk to some point. When I started, I wanted to choose a female char but I had to choose a male char because clicking on the female NPC was impossible. Then, it's almost impossible to click on Nubs. I had to zoom in and click like crazy until I finally was able to feed him a nut.



Is this a known issue? If so, is there a workaround? I've been looking to rotate the view but I don't seem to be able to do so...
I'd really like to give this game a chance, but the interface is very frustrating for me.
Thanks.

Just use middle mousebutton to turn your camera.

Better use one of the custom clients, like Enders or Latikai, it helps much and has improved interface.

I suggest starting a new character so you can have the female you wanted, and pay close attention to the help screens and the messages that pop up at the bottom of the screen. They'll tell you some important things like how to rotate the camera and when to right or left click to do something. Also how to advance your character. You'll enjoy the game a lot more early on if you read and listen to everything in the tutorial.

some of the hardest objects to click for me are

ladder in the mine
clovers

Yeah, I agree with the ladder.

At least with clovers you can click the minimap icon.

Thanks for the tips!!
I downloaded Ender and used the middle click button to rotate the camera and now my experience is much better!
