Patch on!
 

Looks like today the changes that have been on test for the past week have gone live. Here are the following highlights of what this patched rolled out:

See your enemies in a whole new way with our new /con system! Short-duration group buffs now last 10 minutes! Single-target buffs last 15 minutes! No more fizzles on spells that are blue or lower to you, and less fizzles on other spells! Shorter timers and less restrictions on instanced zones! Give your beloved house pets a name! All tradeskill classes can now refine their own materials and components! Wizards and Warlocks go nuke happy! Tanks now tank better with increased mitigation! Strike back at your rival city through new sabotage quests! More encounters added for soloers and small groups, including solo instanced dungeons! You can now store empty bags inside other bags! Improved examine information for spells, arts, potions, and more! Four new level 50 epic raid zones have been added! Now easier to search for potions, poisons, activated items, and food! Even more residents of Norrath gain their voices with our optional voiceover download! Choose different Traits, Traditions, Tactics, and Training options! [More]

The following interface files have been changed as per the patch message which was wrong on test so I think nothing much has changed since my compare on test on the 9th (see 2.9.05 test server compare):

Would love more info on the sabotage quests... could SOE be one step before implementing the eagerly anticipated RvR to EQ? PLEASE say it is so!!! :p
