Yup! SE always teasing people...they always put the stuff somewhere in a hope someone notice it. =P

I remember in FFXI when they added BLU, COR and PUP relic sets...they placed one of these announcement banners that was talking about the addition of level sync in the next patch and stuff...and in the corner of the banner they placed a small image of a PUP fighing a goblin statue in relic armor...and it was like 2 months before the patch becoming live...they just cast the lure and waited someone bite it. =P

I believe they might be doing the very same now...but with info mixed with these lore texts instead of images. ^^
