: 2016 is over, and even though the overall yearly amount of new articles seems to be decreasing slowly compared to the early boom years (a sign that we're getting somewhere with this wiki project), Sarna BTW has rushed past the 20,000 article count and has seen over 700 new articles created. Let's hope we can keep it up in the new year.<br />2017 is bound to be great as BattleTech goes. Several major releases have been announced, not only from CGL but also (tentatively) from [[Harebrained Schemes]] with their [[BattleTech (Video Game)|BattleTech video game]] and from [[Piranha Games]] with their announced single-player [[MechWarrior 5]] game, both of which will draw even more new players into our little universe.

At approximately 7am EST 15 January 2017, the sarna.net server will be undergoing maintenance and a migration to new hardware. Please expect some downtime.
