If you mean new special abilities, then I suppose there's always a chance.

What are the chances of making a teeny, tiny modification to the way chat logging is done? At the moment, all /tells are recorded simply as
[Tell] SOE+MXO+Server+Player: Message.
with no indication as to whether the message was to or from the player in question. How hard would it be for MxO to record the direction of the message when it's logged? Something simple like:
[Tell (to)] SOE+MXO+Server+Player: Message.
[Tell (from)] SOE+MXO+Server+Player: Message.
would work beautifully.

I know it'd make a lot of people's lives much easier (not to mention make my chat log formatter even more useful SMILEY

).

Well I guess i kind of meant, new special abilities, but I was also referring to regular abilties in place now for example say in the kung fu tree, machine gun fist and wooden dummy drill could be used outside of combat. Every other class has some abilities they can use outside of IL, so it would only seem fair that MA's should too SMILEY

And oh yeh, if i didnt say this already, please, please allow live event characters to give out the old special items.

I don't know, but I know it annoys me, too. Dracomet says he can see about looking into it.

Is there going to be any special event today to commemorate Morpheus since today 1 year ago he died?

I heard players were gonna hold services early this morning or something...

But if you mean story characters, then no. And stop asking about future events, anyway. :p

I know this is kind of a redundant question that probably doesn't have any importance, but:

where exactly was Niobe shot?

Medical information...blegh...

Gattsuru

Any plans to fix the coder overcharge?

Paul once referred to her state as "gutshot."

Gattsuru, a little more information, if you please. I have only the sketchiest of recollections of what I think you might be referring to.

Any luck with getting us /meatwad?

Seymour

Yes we need a /meatwad, but if someone used it on Dracomet he might pwn us with his robot alter-rsi.

Gattsuru

Ah, my apologies... looking for a good link.

Here's a pretty good write-up on it. A nice little example can be seen here and here.

It's not a major issue on lower tier items, but as time goes on, you start losing huge amounts of $info.

Luck has nothing to do with it.
