Good Morning / Afternoon / Evening Dink's, as some of you may or may not be aware, the admin team met recently to discuss the plans / our goals for this year.

One of our main goals this year is to provide the community with consistent content updates in an expected schedule. This is so the community knows when to expect new content or updates and what is being worked on.
Our solution is a somewhat quarterly server update schedule, with general housekeeping stuff in between, focused around when most people expect content to be added (Easter, Summer, Halloween, Christmas).

All Server Updates are Dink Dependent
