This is an excerpt from a anterview with a NWN designer on a French fan site. ==================
Rob Bartel : Patch 1.67 is real and will likely be entering beta in January. It contains a ton of new functionality for our upcoming premium modules and the builder community will be very excited to get their hands on it. With Brian’s arrival, we’ve also been able to touch up all of the art content from Pirates of the Sword Coast and cram that into the patch as well. The only thing that didn’t fit was the two tilesets, which we’ll release as free hakpaks available from our site.
On a related note, there will be a 1.68, a 1.69, and beyond. Thanks to the ongoing success of the Online Store, you’ll be excited to hear that we’re in an excellent position to continue expanding and supporting NWN into the future. We expect the typical rollout to be as follows: 1. A new patch will be released, containing new functionality and scripting features. 2. A premium module will be released, showcasing that new functionality and introducing new art and audio content. 3. A new patch will be released, integrating the art content from the previous premium module and containing new functionality and scripting features for the next. New tilesets will continue to be released as free hakpaks.
============= So they will be continuing support for a good long time, and we'll be getting some fresh eyecandy!

Does this mean the free tileset hakpaks may be intigrated into HG? Really would be nice to explore new areas other than city, ineterior, wilderness, drow, desert and snow.

Not likely, since I doubt that many users will download it separately. It may be rolled into 1.68, though.

I'll consider including it if they add it as an option in nwupdate, but I'm pretty dead set against haks. We might use CTP when its released, but thats another story... Funky
