edited April 2014 in General Discussion
The Japanese blog is reporting new stuff being tested on the Chinese test server:

1) The quest interface has been rearranged (arranged by dailies, main, sub, event, fortune, guild quests etc.) to make it easier to find particular quests.

2) A set of icons for turning on and canceling autopathing, and forming parties has been added to the quest interface.

3) Faction system revamp:
Faction officers over a certain rank (not sure which rank, probably marshal) will be able to send a message to all faction members for 500 coins.

Personal information for members will be visible in the faction list. (Class, gender, reputation, last login date)

The character limit for certain fields has been increased (title and slogan?)

4) A new title quest triggers at (255, 812) in the Boundless Plain.

I'm not sure what point 5 is talking about.

Points 6 & 7 are about a Lunar New Year event that we probably won't get.

Point 8 is about changing the reward for reaching level 105.

I think point 9 is about upgrading Cube necklaces.

Point 10 is about converting Warsong Emblems to Wraith Officer Badges

Point 11 is about being able to convert imbued gems into high grade gems.

12) The HP of mobs in some instance has been reduced. Seems to be a Primal World dungeon, but not Flowsilver.

Points 13 and 14 are about modifications to Nation Wars. (No details in the blog post.)

15) Temporary suspension of some restriction on S class war avatars.

Other stuff:

Personal information added to friends list (class, level, location, # of rebirths, last login date)

Upper limit of mitigation increased from 90% to 95%

Rumored graphics update for some G16 gear

There's also mention of changes to rewards from base trials in the next major content update. (Increased drops of Damascene Ore and Adamantine Whetstones are specifically mentioned. No mention of War Avatar cards.)

    2) A set of icons for turning on and canceling autopathing, and forming parties has been added to the quest interface. Interesting I guess.

    3) Faction system revamp:
    Faction officers over a certain rank (not sure which rank, probably marshal) will be able to send a message to all faction members for 500 coins. I know someone who's going to be very happy about this!

    Personal information for members will be visible in the faction list. Do you know what kind of "personal information" this is?

    The character limit for certain fields has been increased (title and slogan?)I hope it's the titles! So I can get the title "fluff" or "fluffy" instead of "fluf" D:

    4) A new title quest triggers at (255, 812) in the Boundless Plain. More titles \o/

    I'm not sure what point 5 is talking about.

    Points 6 & 7 are about a Lunar New Year event that we probably won't get.

    Point 8 is about changing the reward for reaching level 105.

    I think point 9 is about upgrading Cube necklaces.

    I think point 10 is about new genie equipment. I'd be curious about this.

    Point 11 seems to be talking about being able to convert imbued gems into high grade chi stones. Not bad o.o

    12) The HP of mobs in some instance has been reduced. Seems to be a Primal World dungeon, but not Flowsilver.

    Points 13 and 14 are about the PWIC, so irrelevant to us since we no longer participate.

    15) Temporary suspension of some restriction on S class war avatars.

    Other stuff:

    Personal information added to friends list

    Upper limit of mitigation increased from 90% to 95%

    Graphics update for some G16 gear I'd be very happy if they update/change the R9rr weapon skins (and armor).

    There's also mention of changes to rewards from base trials in the next major content update If this makes people want to run trials again, I'm all for it..

    My thoughts. Thanks for posting this Mayfly!

    From the picture, one line is gender, another looks like last log in; someone with knowledge of Chinese are going to have to clarify the other two.

    I was able to find the patch sweetiebot-style at http://md2.w2i.com.cn/w2itiyan/patch/ec_patch_1459-1467.cup

    I'll take a peak when I get some time.

    EDIT: Quick glance shows no changes to our r999 looks and no new weapon designs except for some weapon fashion. That bow must be a private server thing or something.

    I'm not sure what point 5 is talking about.
    I think its about GA's and new hints, since its saying something about migawari
    Personal information for members will be visible in the faction list. Do you know what kind of "personal information" this is?
    Gender, rebirth number, fame amount (one used for rank9) and i cant see the other one clearly
    I think point 9 is about upgrading Cube necklaces.
    it seems its a new manufacturing process capable only after rebirthing, using the mats decomped from grade 14 and 15 cube necks.
    I think point 10 is about new genie equipment.
    This is about using the warsong emblems to manufacture wraith officer's badge
    Point 11 seems to be talking about being able to convert imbued gems into high grade chi stones.
    this one is about the rest of the gems (cits sapphires etc) being able to be meshed into the higher grade gems. Like how you can mesh the DOD and DOT into +3attk already
    Points 13 and 14 are about the PWIC, so irrelevant to us since we no longer participate.
    i believe this is minor changed in nation wars.

    OMG I really really hope the last log in thing is true. It would make it SO much easier to figure out which people are truly inactive and for how long (differing timezones can currently make that tricky).

    Hopefully it will be similar to Matchless wings upgrade, costing 10% of the specified Chienkun stones.

    Would really prod me to finally get the G16 NW neck, since I already have a G14 that's +11 from way back when it was the best neck in the game.
