I was told today that MG is indeed going to make an announcement.  They
have apparently received a *very* large number of calls on this subject.

I complained loudly about the name being the same for 373 and the
morphed status, as well as the afflicted statuses.  It would have been
pure hell trying to keep track of which slot was afflicted with which
status.  I had visions of trying to rearrange a force for a large
combat and receiving an extraordinary amount of purple ink followed by
substantial losses in combat.  I was told that they have changed the
status names so that we will be able to tell them apart.

Another sore point was the change from 2 inv / 2 dam to 0 inv / 0 dam.
I asked if this was truly what was intended, or if it was an oversight.
Apparently they have decided to change it to 2/2.
