A party boy that has been missing the party for some time. I'm not sure, but I think he's been missing since before launch. ^^;

XP and $info are now awarded for repeating golden ticket missions.

Fixed a typo in Flood's introduction text in the Merovingian "Meet Persephone" mission (thanks Chuui).

Yay for that first one. And "you're welcome" for the second =D. Now to just wait for my new credit card to arrive =/

**edit**

The "Security Interface" mission object is no longer visible/accessible through walls.

Nice to see that's been fixed now too.

Toned down the DOT and Neuro-Dart FX. The Neuro-Dart knife now stays in the target's forehead for three seconds instead of ten, and the yellow FX that plays over their body has a less intrusive sound FX, a toned-down yellow cloud, and has had the falling "pyramid" sprites removed.

Yes! Now I can finally see!

Changes to /face and /follow
The /face and follow commands have been disabled for hostile players. A hyperjumping player leaves a contrail behind them for up to four seconds after takeoff.

Hmm. Four seconds seem like a long time. I guess we'll see.

Interesting..

Thank God /face and /follow is fixed. =) Thanks!

**Nicksie**

I'm very excited!!! SMILEY

**ShiXinFeng**

See! This turned out to be a right and proper update after all!

Eh. . .edification means enlightenment or building one's faith. How will Machine Operatives gain from this? Or should that have said "edification of all operatives"?

And, by special request of Paul Chadwicke? o.O

Call your friends and neighbors, it just got more interesting. . .

Good fixes and add-ins over all. Happiness will ensue! SMILEY

**Nicho**

SWEET UPDATE, but the only main thing I would like to see be updated about this game is more devs to be able to have more LE. We need a bigger LET team!! I know you guys can get out there a recruit!!!Who wouldnt want to work for SOE?!

Xintax

awesome

**Stack**

Good God, if all those things actually work, this will be one of the best patches ever....

**RemagDiv**

Not a bad update. Not much content-wise, but a load of fixes and options that will make the game better in the long run.

**Aquatium.**

Cool stuff, looking forward to seeing the RSI and the Cinematic.

hmm.. no luggables.

afk: Toggles your AFK status on and off. (See below.)
/cq: Displays your character's current CQ point total.
/details: Displays your character's Information panel.
/frags: Lists how many of each code frag and code bit you have in your Code Archive
/getbackground: Displays your current background information in the chat window.
/setbackground: Opens a window that allows you to change your character's background information.

and you will auto-reply to /tells with an away message. You will only auto-reply once to each character that sends you a tell until you come back. Setting AFK mode with /afk message allows you to set a custom autoreply message.

There are two AFK options available through the Chat Options: Whether moving clears the AFK status and whether idling for 10 minutes automatically sets you to AFK. (Default is 'on' for both.)

Remote Proxy Abilities will now randomly generate one of the following Soldier types: Aikido, Karate, Kung Fu, Pistol, Rifle, or SMG. If you don't like the one you get, you can dismiss it and create a new one.

Guns have been given a spit-shine.

Toned down the DOT and Neuro-Dart FX. The Neuro-Dart knife now stays in the target's forehead for three seconds instead of ten, and the yellow FX that plays over their body has a less intrusive sound FX, a toned-down yellow cloud, and has had the falling "pyramid" sprites removed.

The /drinkbottle animation now has a bottle attached to the hand.
Everything on the Options tab of the chat options window is now saved when you quit. What an amazing concept.
Merovingian Elite Guards no longer lose their hair texture at lower levels of detail.
XP and $info are now awarded for repeating golden ticket missions.
Weapon and Fight Club vendors now have guns on their blankets.

SWEEEEEET.

Seriously, thank you for doing a full job on afk and not some shoddy hold over.

As for the Neo RSI... very interesting indeed. Request from PC? Wonder if it really is from the machines (which is odd since morpheus had it last) and where it is, if its locked from the other orgs, what chaos this may bring about, how itll fit in the story, who may return SMILEY

Twaggy

The thing I will like the most about this patch? we actuallyt now drink out of a bottle XD
