| Confirmed Releases |

| Changes to the OOC Zone |
| As of January the OOC news page will go quarterly, often there are only a couple of news items to report in any single month, links will be provided to jump to a specific month within each quarterly page. This change will cut down the amount of editing I need to do at the end of each month while still maintaining the same level of news coverage. It should also make it easier to review earlier news items without the need to load additional pages. The OOC Zone Updates page will also go quarterly in a similar fashion, no changes are planned at EFE Zone as there is a higher flow of news and updates. |
