Patch 18.4 - New Item Store and more (Patch notes)

[Kehaan]

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.
