Also, not sure if this would go here, or if these exist already, but perhaps an option to select graphics quality and presence of battle animations (eliminate characters walking to their new positions, and stop the attack/special animations in mini battles) and such? I don't know if it's to do with the internet I have, or my browser, or my machine in general, but sometimes it's a stretch to get 7-12 frames per second. zOMG! has both these options, and I find it really helps to prevent lag and make the experience more enjoyable. Perhaps adding such options to settings (I was a little disappointed not finding them there already, truth be) would be helpful for those of us on older machines, or with suboptimal bandwidth?
If it's hampering your gameplay, note that you should be able to right-click any Flash content and change the Quality settings directly - I agree that the game should certainly make them easier to find, but there is an effective workaround available. 3nodding
Part of the issue, I suspect, is that there is very little in the way of vector graphics used in the game, so changing Quality will actually have a minimal impact. It's still a good (and obvious) first resort for addressing those issues, but it likely won't have the significant effect it can have on other Flash animations.

And speaking of multiplayer, is it/might it become possible to chose who you meet up with in addition to the random queue? My roommate and I are both betas for the game, and we would like to try out multiplayer together. Is that possible/might it be a future addition to the multiplayer function?
This function already exists, though deceptively named; the "Gaia Friends" option creates a private room, and gives you a link that can be shared with whomever you want to play with (currently only other Beta testers, of course). Either you or your roommate should be able to create such a room and share the challenge link, and arrange a game that way... 3nodding
