Chat

 * Faction Chat: A character must belong to the corresponding faction in order to join a factional chat channel.
 * Profession Chat: Profession-specific chat channels have been created so you can keep in touch with players who play similar professions. These channels are now available for the 9 main professions, as well as Politician and Pilot.

 * Players will no longer be able to assume chat moderation abilities in public chat channels.

Combat

 * Going to a prone position in combat can be dangerous. If you fire at an enemy NPC or creature while prone, they will show their alarm with a question mark above their heads (?). When the enemy target sees you and attacks, you will notice an exclamation point over their head (!).

Profession: Spy
