Introducing Settlements (07/19/2011)

[Lamentor]

I believe the letter from the producer (last one) said the 22nd, so more than likely the 21st for us NA players. Hopefully it's fairly early, so I can wake up to this update... I'm also loving all of the information that wasn't previously announced for this update.... new spells, settlements, and probably 1 more thing to come. Maybe it's just opinion, and peoples' hearts are probably weak already by all the waiting and false promises, but you all should be excited! 1.18 is going to be the silver update. Golden update will probably be 1.19 or 1.20. Yoshi-P is ftw.

It's unfortunate I can already see the copy & paste in these, but I'm glad for it nonetheless. 1.18 continues to motivate the community =).

they do resemble each other a bit but its not completely copy&pasted from what i can see.

i hope they play a bigger role than landmarks with a few quests in them. we'll have to see i guess

It's coming Friday. Quote from Miscellaneous Adjustments (07/14/2011)

In addition to the improvements announced thus far, patch 1.18, slated for release on Friday, July 22 (JST)

JST is Japan standard time right? So that would mean 21st for NA regions.

I hope you understand that JST is (I think exactly) 12 hours ahead of EST. Soooooo, I'd still say Thursday for us NA players.

Well I'm EU player so it's coming around midnight here (usually).

The Hawthorne Hut

A trappers' hut named for the legendary Hawthorne, scourge of the mountains. Now residing there is his descendant [SIZE="6"]Rolfe (Roegadyn)[/SIZE], a retired adventurer of some repute, who is joined by his [SIZE="6"]loving wife and daughter[/SIZE]. Together they welcome all travelers with open arms and heartfelt hospitality.

Unless the image doesn't match the description.

[Lamentor]

Yeah I sometimes forget that there are EU players. No offense, lol. It's probably more a habit from FFXI days, always using EST as the static time, even for our EU players.

On a side note, I was already perfectly happy with everything they already announced. So at this point, everything else they announce for 1.18 is just bonus to me.

i think its slated for friday the 22nd

Lamentor is correct, it will be coming Thursday afternoon for NA and early morning for JP, just like every other patch we've had.
