18.4 Update Release Notes

General Changes:

    * Anarchy Online no longer supports versions of Windows earlier than Windows XP.
    * The Anarchy Online in-game store is now available.
    * All "Service Points" have now been converted to "Funcom Points". The conversion rate is 1.2, meaning if you had 1000 Service Points, you now have 1200 Funcom Points. The cost of all services has been updated to reflect this change. Phasefront Points (IE: points already transferred in-game) are not affected by this change.
    * The amount of points you receive with your gametime has been changed. Accounts now receive 60 points for 1 month, 300 points for 3 months, 600 points for 6 months and 1440 points for 12 months.
    * New input system is now available. All keys should now be bindable/customizable through the "binds" tab in the F10 options menu.
    * Timers are now available for all temporary items (ie: Grid Armor). Tool tip and Shift+Click will display the item time remaining.
    * New slider in the Tradeskill window to control the level of the result of the tradeskill.
    * It is now possible to lock individual items in the Character Wear window.
    * Enabling/disabling sound options no longer requires the character to zone or relog to notice applied changes.
    * Basic OFAB Armor is no longer no-drop - Improved/Penultimate OFAB is still no-drop. Vendors are still only accessible by profession.
    * Nano Icons and NCU icons are now color coded to make it easier to determine their nature at a quick glance.
    * Nano Icons should now display at their correct resolutions in the Programs window and on Shortcut bars.
    * Social Tab can no longer be enabled or equipped to during combat.
    * XP gained with the "XP Gain Disabled" option enabled should now be added to XP pool.
    * Terminating now adds your current unsaved XP to your XP pool.
    * Backpacks looted from monster remains should now be usable as containers for items.
    * Characters should no longer become stuck in "walk mode" after dying and returning to a SL save area.
    * The "You already have this unique item" message should now include the name of the unique item in question.
    * Signet of the Apocalypse/HHAB rings once again should protect from environmental damage while under resurrection sickness.
    * "Veteran Healing Laboratory" changed to heal a percentage of a character's health; now works off of a separate skilllock timer from regular treatment labs.
    * New "Veteran Nano Recharger" added to the Veteran vendor.
    * New option "Fixed Pet Buttons" in the pet window to lock selection of pets to specific keys and ignore pet spawn order.
    * Added support for automatic renaming of pets on respawn.
    * Right clicking in the loot window should no longer loot the item.
    * Fixed several exploits.


Alien Daily Mission Changes

    * The Artifact no longer has a chance of spawning in the Blazing Flames in the "Salvage" Alien daily mission.
