This is purely rumor from an unconfirmed source but, he heard it from a friend who heard it from a friend that knows this guy who, well…you get the idea.

Xat appears to be planning three new power releases: Invisible, Superkick, and “30″.

Invisible, we think, has something to do with a poll that Xat was running a couple of weeks ago. In it, Xat asked whether users would be interested in a new invisible-owner power. This new invisible power might be in answer to that poll.

Superkick, we’ve been told, is “kick” on steroids. Apparently it gives the kicker additional banning power but we don’t have the  specifics on how this is accomplished.

Xat is also working on a third power, but all we know at this point is that it has been code named “30″.

We’ll update this post when/if we get more information.

Xat has been kind enough to let us test drive the new “Boot” well in advance of its release. We’ve been told that right now, as it’s still being tested, anything can change. Below are a few screenshots to at least give you a better idea of what’s to come.

How to use Xat “boot”:
1. Click on a users name.
2. Click on “kick”.
3. Enter reason, and decide what Xat to “boot” them to.

What we don’t know:
- The cost
- Who will be able to use it (i.e. main owners, owners, moderators, etc…)
- Whether there will be restrictions with respect to the rooms you can “boot to”

We’ll update this post if we happen to get any more details.

Xat is preparing to release in total, possibly, 5 new powers.

We have confirmed the following two Xat Powers:

Boot – allows you to kick a user from one chat, right into another.

Octagram – allows you to create eight-sided geometric smilies; similar to “hexagon”.

We also know that Xat is releasing three additional powers but what they do or how they work is unknown at this time; we think they’re called “27″, “28″, and “29″.

We’ll update this post when we get more information.

Update: A post by Physical (Help staff) suggests that one additional power may be called “showxats”. According to that post, this new Xat power may allow a user to see how many xats/days you have when they click on your powers tab.

Update 2 – March 20: Two of the powers mentioned above went on sale today:

“Showxats”, which ultimately was simply named “show” and costs  50 xats.
“Octogram” which costs 150 xats.

Someone close to XAT has told us that the XAT “clear” power, the one that was available only for a short time, may be available again.

We weren’t told when or at what cost, but one thing is certain; those who didn’t have the opportunity to buy before will now be able to.

Those who already have “clear” can now speculate if now is/isn’t the time to sell the “clear” that they already have for a profit.

We’ll update this post when we have more information on this power.

Update: Now now sale! 84 left!
