CBT Phase 3 brings improvements to the UI and system preferences:

Login
- The Faction selection pane has been changed to make each Faction more easily recognizable.
- In the log in pane, between the Create New Account button and the Quit button, a System Preferences menu has been added. Before logging in, you can change your graphics and sound options.
- When creating new characters, changing the height of the character will now scale the size of its head correctly. Additional customization is still available.
- Since some of the Facial Details menu proved hard to find, it has been changed from a button on the lower right side to a tab on the upper part of the screen.
- A function that allows a preview of basic outfits during character creation has been added (image at right).
Zone Chat Channels
- Channels that could only be used in Poeta and Ishalgen are now available in the Verteron and Altgard regions.
- When a party member is in a different channel from the party leader, they can now move to the same channel as the leader by right-clicking the party member status pane.
System Preferences
- A UI Extend/Reduce menu has been added. System Preference -> Game Preferences -> UI Style Change
- An option to show/hide Legion names has been added.
- The form of Title displays has been changed and can be further adjusted from the options menu. Basic Titles of other Faction members cannot be seen.
  - Same Faction: Basic Title Priority / Abyss Rank / Hide
  - Different Faction: Abyss Rank / Hide
- An option to show/hide the names of opposing Faction characters has been added.
- An option to display your target's casting timer has been added. Checking this option will allow you to see their currently casting spell/skill name and how much time is left on it.
Party/Group
- A new party/force looting method has been added: The Dice-roll, Quality Item Distribution Rule
- When a party or force member loots an item, the item is automatically linked in the chat pane.
Miscellaneous
- The Show Emotion button in the upper left part of the chat pane has been changed to the Chat Preferences Menu button.
- An auto-loot function has been added in the Skill Window > Functions tab. The previous "Shift + Double Click" function is now automatic.
- You can link item construction plans to a Creation Window in the Chat pane. When linked, required materials are also displayed.
- Skill names appear in the casting bar when triggered.
- The Location Display function on the map has been improved and now displays multiple regions at the same time. The location displayed in the map can be deleted by right clicking and using the drop-down menu.
- A [Sell All Miscellaneous Items] menu has been added enabling the selection and addition of all miscellaneous (gray-hued) items to the Sell list when trading with NPCs.
- Mouse cursors are now context sensitive! The cursor will change to show camera rotation, combat, greetings etc.
- The floor is no longer clickable when opening a private store.
