Hey guys,

There was a big patch this morning to the client, so this is probably a good time to come in here and detail the new features and goodies included within.

As most already know, or have figured out, the big ticket item in this patch is Voice Chat/VOIP.

It will be for 1-on-1 conversations, as well as group/room chat in select areas :

- Merlin's

- A bedroom in the Bordello

- One of the Conference Rooms in the Hotel

- Zaby's

There may be more added in the future depending on how this smaller scale group chat goes.

There is another thread right below this one on how to use the Voice Chat, this is purely to announce its implementation.

The next major feature added is In-World Rays transfers.

This will allow you to send Rays in real-time to anyone, for any purpose, without having to go to your Social Center. This should allow Working Girls/Guys, decorators, and anyone else that does real-time work in the world to ease the process of being paid for that work.

Landmarks is another major tool released in the patch.

These are basically like Bookmark tabs in a browser, where you can set your favorite/most visited locations, for easy one-click porting around the 3D World.

The User Interface has also gotten a nice makeover. You now have the ability to set the transparency of your windows, as well as specify various other ways your windows and boxes work within the client. This should allow you to tailor the experience to a much greater and in-depth degree. Also, the responsiveness of the mouse and keyboard has been dramatically improved.

There were also a few other minor features added aside from the major ones mentioned above :

- a /sit command in the world, that allows you to sit anywhere you please.

- Couples can now stand and hold hands.

- Improved Strafing and Jumping animations

There were a few other minor bug fixes that went along with all these shiny new features, such as the ability to hide yourself while online, which should now function properly.

As with everything new, there is bound to be some issues out of the box, but all of these features have been in testing on QA for a few weeks, so hopefully the speedbumps are at a minimum.

Please post any bug reports into this thread, file a ticket through http://Support.Utherverse.com or send an email into Support@Utherverse.com or TechSupport@Utherverse.com and we'll be more than happy to help.

Hope you have fun with the new toys guys.
