Question about the patch

Isn't that for the Haunted House quest though? I'm referring to the 5 Demons (Andrus, Amdusias, Crocell, Valefor, and Marbas), as well as Astaroth. Unless they're a part of the PQ, I don't know why it would be off-limits to a guy who's level 18. Also, there was supposed to be a beginner area remodeling for both Cygnus and Explorers, but when I made a second character to test this out, it was still the same.

Is the Explorer beginner workaround not set to appear until next patch? Or are the 5 Demons + Astaroth a part of Masterian lore, and not Victoria?
