Board Thread:Community Announcements and Events/@comment-25356303-20180923043115

Hi all, Atvelonis here with the weekly update. It looks like we're finally on time for once! We have a lot to cover this week, particularly as far as news about is concerned, so let's get started. If you would like to opt out of receiving these threads, please install the AnnouncementsIgnore script for personal use.

TES news

 * ZeniMax recently published a blog announcing that they would be expanding the scope of ESO Plus starting on November 13th. Subscribers will receive 1650 Crowns per month (up from 1500), more free items, and discounted and exclusive Crown Store items.
 * The company also began an event called "Summerfall" for which will run from September 20th until September 28th. In this event, if a certain percentage of the playerbase completes the "Summerset Pathfinder" achievement, everyone who participates will receive rewards including a pet (33%), a mount (66%), and a house (100%).  is also currently on sale for 40% off, and will remain on sale until October 2nd.
 * I'm sure that many of you will be pleased to learn that ZeniMax will be continuing to hand out Twitch drops until at least September 30th. For more information on this, see here.
 * Lastly, they also released another entry to the Meet the Character series. This one is about Famia Mercius, a character who will appear in the upcoming DLC.
 * We learned in a blog post published on the 17th that players would no longer be able to receive Twitch drops for watching streams, except for the company's weekly stream and certain special events.
 * We also finally have a solid release date for the refresh to Legends: Tuesday, September 25th. Sparkypants Studios has rebuilt the code for the game "from the ground up," although it will not change that much overall. Your progress will not be wiped, there will be no new cards or card statistic changes, etc.
 * Legends editors, please note that we will have to update all of our card images to accommodate this change. We will be preserving the old images in a gallery section on affected articles. I will work on renaming the old images to " Old.png" so that the new ones can be uploaded with the regular filename.
 * I forgot to mention in the previous update that Murkmire will be available as a daily login reward for players in the month of November. If you want the DLC for free, be sure to log in and accept your reward every day that month! Read more here.

Wiki news

 * I left this out of the last update because it was dated for the 15th, but The Crusader of Truth, one of our patrollers, permanently closed his Wikia account recently. I removed his patroller rights on the 16th. He said to me on Discord that he was doing fine in real life, just that he was feeling stressed out over Wikia in general and wanted more time for himself. Goodbye buddy, we'll miss you. :(
 * If you meet the requirements for patroller and would like to apply for the position, please feel free to do so! We could always use an extra hand (or several) in this regard.
 * There is a new Consensus Track board live on the Forum right now which seeks to reform the process we use to grant an official "status" (Featured, Good, or Comprehensive) to well-written articles. Please check it out here when you get the chance, and remember to comment your thoughts!
 * Here are a few editors who have been adding a lot of content lately:
 * Blademaster Jauffre – dialogue
 * Dwemer35 – infobox data
 * Thifike – books
 * TinyClayMan – items
 * Vincentius1 – Ancestor Moth, Gideon, Solstheim

Wikia news

 * Wikia released one technical update this week titled "September 18, 2018: AWB update." In this update, Rappy kindly shared the link to version 6.0.0.1 of AutoWikiBrowser (AWB), which we discussed last week. It's been strangely quiet on the company's end once again, for whatever reason.

That's about all I have for this week, folks. I hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend, and as always, happy editing! ―Atvelonis (talk) 04:31, September 23, 2018 (UTC)
