Arrival Areas & Mentors
Mentors with at least one graduated disciple can now teleport directly to the new player arrival areas from any teleporter, with the following conditions and limitations:

• The mentor will be able to choose from either the Genesis new arrival area or an arrival area connected to the planet where the mentor is currently located (if applicable). 
• The mentor will be placed in the new arrivals instance with the highest population. 
• The mentor will not be able to bring any items into new arrivals area; the new arrivals default inventory will be loaded instead. 
• The mentor will have the ability to recruit new disciples while in the new arrivals area. 
• To exit the new arrivals area the mentor should use the teleporter in the new arrivals area, which will return the mentor to the same teleporter that was used to enter the new arrivals area. 
• When exiting the new arrivals area, the original avatar inventory will be reloaded. 

Creature Upgrades
The following creatures have been upgraded with new models, textures and animations:

• Osseocollum 
• Kerberos 

Voice Chat
When joining a team, the private team channel is now activated by default, in place of the proximity voice channel. Users still have the ability to use the proximity channel by making use of the proximity chat button.
Team voice and proximity voice channels no longer interfere with one another, and it is no longer possible to transmit to both channels simultaneously.
