Just done a few live traces and indeed UCS chat, sending mail, /friend etc are now relayed through zone on chat channel 20.
Zone must then forward them onto the UCS for delivery, since when I receive a chat message from someone else, it doesn't appear in the zone trace.
Wonder why they did that ...
Probably easiest to have a single connection between World and UCS, rather than each zone server establishing it's own connection.
Also it would probably make sense to have World just listen for an incoming connection from UCS, rather than the other way around.
