Really? You didn't see the announcement by War Witch that said not till after Thanksgiving?

Yeah, it's not readily known unless you've been following the Beta. Just to be clear, though, there was a really nasty bug found involving how the new Inherent Fitness broke Kheldians and Dominators, and so the date got pushed out. For those who had heard the date would be mid-November.
It was a NASTY bug, too, might cause people to lose the IOs they've invested in, and that's not a small thing. It looks fixed from the latest build, though, so it looks like it's on schedule for next week some time.

Bar ALL OF THAT, if you didn't know where all the Dev chatter is, you could easily click the "Developers Digest" which aggregates all the chatter from the developers. Currently, it's only the fourth post and is clearly labeled as discussing the I19 launch.
AAQUI may not be familiar with the forums, and that is fine. Welcome!!! But to suggest that anyone who read/knew about WW's announcement is a raving Dev/I19 fan is a bit of hyperbole. If there is only one thread to read on these boards, it is the OCR/Dev digest.
There are no words for what this community, and the friends I have made here mean to me. Please know that I care for all of you, yes, even you. If you Twitter, I'm MrThan. If you're Unleashed, I'm dumps. I'll try and get registered on the Titan Forums as well. Peace, and thanks for the best nine years anyone could ever ask for.

Not saying you don't have a point, but hey, you know me.

Which page is it exactly that you're calling the "main page"? Forum index? No, not there. CoH website? Not there either... Nowhere in the news announcement for the patcher window, either. Soooooooooo? It's not exactly thrown in your face anywhere in the natural steps most people would take to get to the forums or into the game.|

Yeah, dev digest, but that's another thing...Not many non-regular forum posters know it's there or what it does.

This major update today seems likely to be I19

It's a definite maybe. |

They haven't announced it is definitely I19, but it does seem very likely. The only other thing that it could possibly be is a fix for an AE exploit that is currently being, well, exploited.
I find your lack of signature disturbing.

It most likely is i19 because it was announced yesterday that the servers will be down for a "publish". I read somewhere that the Monkey Farms would be dealt with at the same time as i19 goes live. Sorry I don't have a link and I'm not sure if it was from anyone that knew what they were talking about either. It seems likely though. Another possible candidate is the winter event but I think it's too early for that especially since we only got a week of the Halloween event.

I19 does seem likely, but why couldn't they just announce the servers going down to publish I19 to live? They've done that with all the other issues that I can remember. Instead they just said that the servers were coming down for an extended maint. period.

FYI, my computer at home did not download anything when I started the updater but started patching. That sounds like i19 to me.
But still I fear and still I dare not laugh at the madman!

Probably. IIRC it's been "fixed" in the beta for many weeks now.

Well, as I type this, Justice's status just went from "Down" to "Unknown," so, to answer the question in the subject line, I'm going to go with...
SOON™.

No big deal. Gives me a good reason to work on some classwork, anyway. |

Does anyone know when 19 is going live? I haven't seen or read anything that suggest an actual time...only rumors. thanks in advance.
