Preliminary patch notes up.

[Tyrn]

[2.0] Players can no longer send friend requests when playing with a free trial account.

Maybe it's finally worth the time to remove the 143 sellgills friend requests I've gotten since I got too annoyed with the hassle of having to decline multiple times to get rid of one request.

Or maybe not. Spammers don't use free trial accounts. From free trial restrictions:

- The chat options /shout, /yell, and /tell cannot be used by Free Trial characters.

Yet they're still spamming us on tells, besides friend requests, which means they're not using trials. Some players may have seen it as a way to stop spammers, but SE just simply wanted a more strict restriction on trials, that's all.
