Desktop Icons & Keyboard Mapping

Extensive Keyboard Mapping is also available and easily organized into nine Action Sets; you can now have every situation from hunting to dancing right at your fingertips. Remember: Desktop Icons and Keyboard Maps are separate functions and must be created/mapped separately.
A Global Action Set is also available for functions you always need close at hand. Please view the updated 'Movement & Interaction' section of the Participants Guide on this website as well as the help texts included In-World by clicking the '?' symbols on the new interfaces.

This surprises me most. Surely that'll make the price of sweat plummet....

[EDIT]
Sometimes it feels like loots are bit better, not much, just a bit..
And to the mining thing... Well they said there are new ones spotted, noone said something about,those can actually be mined yet
 Thats a huge different, tho this means only, in mean time there can be new found, not right now.
And just for record, all ppl who were there yesterday, must have dropped
together around 20K bombs or some more
