They also are having a sale on DarkBasic I think. It will save you somewhere around $300. As for the guy who said it takes a while to ship to the us, I can honestly say that my FPSC came in the mail within a week and a half, and I live in the US.

For disabling the bubble chat, look in both the client and server folders for a .ini file. In there the will be some line like bubble=1 or something similar change the 1 to a 0 and the bubble chat is disabled. As for the emotes you can also disable them by finding a emotes.ini file some where in all...
