A new patch is in the works, and is to be added to the test center servers for testing this weekend. The major changes includes 24 character slots for all (um, will there be anything special about being subscriber left?), some Mini-game changes and sorely needed chat interface improvements. Full draft patch notes and the official post can be found here.
General: All players now have 24 character slots.
* Fixed a known issue with the inventory user interface that caused the client to lock up.
* Fixed a bug which caused the Mini-game to sometimes become stuck.
* The Mini-game now resets every 15 minutes.
* Added a /help command to provide assistance using available / commands.
* Some new posters have been added to stations, so check them out!Chat: Made several chat interface improvements and the text entry more intuitive:
* Chat window is now open by default in multiplayer.
* Fixed chat window closing when traveling between zones.
* Fixed several cases where the chat window would obstruct other UI components.
* Chat context (such as Party and Guild) is now more clearly defined in the text entry window, including a color-coded border.
* Chat window is now more transparent.
* Added /g command. This is equivalent to /gchat command (guild chat).
* Whisper text now shows up on all chat tabs.
* Whisper messages and admin announcements auto-open the chat panel.
* Auto-switch to the appropriate tab (such as Party and Guild) if you type text to that channel and are not in a tab that shows the text.
* PageUp/PageDown cycle through chat tabs when text entry is active.
* Chat panel now auto-opens if you type text and press Enter while the panel is closed.
* Chat text entry deactivates after entering text.
* Chat panel no longer closes if you press Enter on a blank line.
* Additional miscellaneous bug fixes.
