Make the PC/mac/lunix launcher pretty
Everyone knows the key to a great MMO is a launcher with a giant artistic rendering of some kind of in game awesomeness and some news links is key to hooking the user as they wait for the game to update or start
Vo needs this!
I know you have an artist and he is learning your ancient ways of game design but I am sure he can quickly whip up an artistic rendering of a space battle to spruce up the launcher, this will make VO appear like a real MMO.
Perhaps add an rss feed for the news/events to it as well.

+43, but for an rss feed, we might actually need news and events.

I'm actually a fan of VO's minimalist launcher.

Mine looks like sleazy bordello wallpaper. Lrn 2 GTK themes, noob :P
-1 launcher is fine. Don't waste time on pointless things when game itself needs tending.

While it would be nice, I'd prefer it to be rolled out either as part of a huge update or as part of 1.9.

For clarification:
OP != "Make the PC/mac/lunix launcher pretty"
OP == "Make the PC/mac/lunix launcher a bloated and tacky piece of trash"
When I click the launcher, I want it to very quickly check for updates while displaying the patch notes in a readable form, and then start the game. I don't want any additional delay while it loads up RSS libraries and pulls the feeds. I don't want it taking up massive chuncks of my screen with a bunch of pretentious graphics that either crowd out the patch notes or make them harder to read. I certainly don't want it making any sort of sound (I know it wasn't in the OP, but it would be the natural next step on this path to damnation).
In short: Go back to WoW.
