"It is called "force" in your tongue. But as you push the world, so does the world push back. Think of the way force may be applied effortlessly - imagine but a whisper pushing aside all in its path. That is Fus, let its meaning fill you. Su'um ahrk morah. You will push the world harder than it pushes back."

Blades

 * has been out for most of the year now and it has changed and improved from its Early Access. In this wrap-up article, we look back on those past several months and the updates its had so far. There are some links to send your feedback and a megathread on the official Blades subreddit for Guild Recruitment there as well. It also mentions the Nintendo Switch release to be next year.

Legends

 * This weekend's event is the Grand Melee! There are no specific deck building rules and entry costs 6 Event Tickets or 1000 Gold. All entrants will receive a non-Premium Gray Fox card back, even if you don't get any wins. The top 1000 players will receive a Premium Cadwell card back (preview them in the official article). Those won't be the only prizes, so bring your best deck and get as many wins as you can. This event begins Friday, December 27 at 12pm ET and ends at 12pm ET on Monday, December 30.
 * The Festival of Madness is back this year. Log in everyday for a new special offer, ranging from unique card backs to card packs, Gold, Event Tickets, alternate card art and soul gems! These have so far been for free or cost 100 Gold.
 * The Monthly Reward Card for December 2019 has been revealed as Ayleid Guardian. It is a reference to the statues in the quest "The Ultimate Heist". As an 11-cost card that pretty much puts 16/16 on the board while being immune to Lethal, it's rather useful for control decks. Check out how you might use this card in the reveal article.

Online

 * The Creative Director for, Rich Lambert, has written Creative Director's Letter: 2019 Retrospective, going through the Season of the Dragon storyline, performance roadmaps, goals, the #SlayDragonsSaveCats charity campaign and ESO in 2020 with more community events and the next Chapter to come.
 * Here is another Performance Improvement plan, being a monthly status update on performance improvements and future updates. This month's focus was on the Activity Finder. Also, "Work for Update 25 continues with most fixes on track, including the patching overhaul that shall require ALL ESO players re-download the game client (as a gentle reminder)."
 * ESO was voted MMORPG of the Year by MassivelyOP! "In an unprecedented move, ZeniMax Online Studios tied each update together thematically, resulting in a year-long story arc that could be completed in pieces or as a whole to equal degrees of fulfillment."

TES Wiki

Wikia

 * Starting tomorrow: Anonymous users will be redirected from File: pages to the first article page where a file was used – Visitors who land on a File page from a Google search might not find what information they're looking for and leave the page quickly, causing Google to mark File pages as low quality and not show them in search results. This in turn has a negative effect on actual wiki content, resulting in articles being ranked lower in search results too.

Well, that's all for this update. Gonna sneak in a bit of a thank you for however you, yes you, might have contributed to the wiki this past year. Wishing you all the best for 2020 (I swear I won't make any eye-rolling vision puns because that would just be physically painful), and happy editing!
