Hellgate London Patch Update

The trials and tribulations of Flagship Studios' action RPG Hellgate London continue with further information coming to light regarding the elusive patch we've all been waiting for. In the latest update from Flagship they announced the following changes will be made in the upcoming patch.

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.

So what's the fuss about the update from Flagship this time? As you can see, non-subscribers will now receive 24 character slots, something that you had to pay for and one of the main attractions of becoming a subscriber. As you can imagine, gamers who have paid for this feature are not too happy, but essentially it is the right move and something Flagship should have added for everyone when the game was released.
