Feb. 8 Patch Notes (v.0.18.060222.31876)

Dear Traveller,
We hope you're doing well! Tomorrow, Tuesday February 8th, at 3pm CET / 6am PT, we're excited to be rolling out an update containing both new content (which we'll talk more about tomorrow) and a host of bug fixes to Book of Travels. Below you can read up on what those fixes do, specifically.

Note that the servers are expected to be down for maintenance between 1pm and 3pm CET, so that we can apply the changes and do some "dusting".

[h3]General Changes[/h3]

Character level achievements now trigger retroactively when logging in (for non-deleted characters in the same region).

Characters sometimes not drawing their sword at the end of the combat initiative counter solved.
