Raise the number of hotbars to 30 or 40.

I think having restricted inventory and hotbar space is a good idea. Much like the Diablo series, having restricted space means you have to make decisions about what you keep, and what really matters. It helps make for a more diverse game....

Close non-system programs with one click

Careful ... it doesn't check system hooks properly. I ran it and it closed my firewall, completely disabling my networking until reboot. I imagine this would also cause big problems if you have a root kit virus.
