Patch: Tomorrow is Patch Day!

Tomorrow Thursday 30, we will apply a patch on the live shards. As a result, they will be closed from 9 am to 2 pm UK time.
Moreover, as we will start with a software maintenance, the profile section on the website won't be accessible from 9 am to 10 am, meaning you won't be able to manage your account nor create a new one during this time.
In a nutshell:
* The Dew Drops Kami altar is slightly modified; you shouldn't be stuck anymore when you teleport there.
* The Outpost materials giving the critical effect bonus is modified for range weapons, so that the critical rate matches the new rate applied recently to melee weapons (see
patch 123).
* More information is added in two system messages related to PvP timers. In addition to inform you that you can't perform an action, they will indicate the remaining time before being able to do it again.
* New text characters can now be added in the landmarks system, such as @ _ <space>.
* You may now invite players to your guild from a distance. The player you wish to invite must be online, then you have to type:
/guildinvite [name_of_character_online]

Yay for spaces in Landmarks
I remember that bugging me no end, even though it's actually a small problem
Psssst Souls... I think you need some BB brackets [ ] around those code tags instead of HTML chevrons

Sizzling succotash!
That's a welcome little fix.
Regarding remote invitations; while it's no doubt a useful addition, I think anything that detracts from the personal touch is a terrible shame.

Nice patch. ^_^

It would be even nicer if this applied to auras, powers, etc...it'd be nice to know when I can use Melee Protection Aura again, for example.

thats great, i can remake all my Flags with spaces now

but could we get some special characters for the Names of our Toons too?
don´t need @ or _ , but even a simple <space> or even - and ` would be nice...really, really nice!!! ^

I like the fixes and it's nice that they are going into the game but what else is going in with the fixes listed? I don't see anything worth taking the servers down to patch; if it is just the things listed they could have been added to the next patch.
Have the Devs just switched to more patches with less fixes? I guess that is better than a patch every few months with lots of fixes.
