Global Agenda patch 1.44 to add new maps and "cosmetic flair"

A new Global Agenda update is set to arrive later today, adding new maps and a couple of new stores, one selling jetpacks, and another selling "cosmetic flair." The Global Agenda servers will be down for a few hours while the patch is applied, between 11:00 and 17:00 US Eastern time / 16:00 to 22:00 GMT.

Carter's Seasonal Accessories has closed up shop.
Burning Fashion has arrived in Dome City and will be selling cosmetic flair where Carter's used to be.
The long awaited Skyward Jetpacks has finally landed at the upper deck of Dome City and is open for business. In addition to selling jetpacks available elsewhere in the game, Skyward also sells high-end jetpack trail effects. You must be a boosted customer with a jetpack in Dome City in order to reach the upper deck of Dome City where Skyward resides.
Adjusted the position of the guard at the South gate to the Sonoran Desert to be less confusing to players attempting to exit the dome.
