: 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.

  • 01 January 2018: A Happy New Year (Frabby)
Last year, I'd muse in this spot how the number of new articles seemed to ebb, at "only" some 700 for 2016. Silly me. BattleTech is clearly on the rise, what with the games under development by HBS and PGI, and a new dedicated CGL Line Developer with big plans for 2018.
On the Sarna BTW side of things we're seeing increased traffic, and 1,436 new articles created in the past year. We're back to full swing, and the upcoming year is going to be great.
Here's to a fantastic 2018!

  • 23 July 2017: New Unseen lawsuit? (Frabby)
Looking for an explanation as to why the newly released Technical Readout: Succession Wars omitted some prominent designs that all happen to be Unseen, fans found that Harmony Gold has apparently filed a new lawsuit against Harebrained Schemes and Jordan Weisman, among others.
