Elder Tales Release History
This timeline is designed to track the development of the Elder Tales Online game. This will include expansions, major patches, and other information that is deemed useful in this context. It is initially suspected that this timeline ends at the Apocalypse, as any discoveries after that are in-world events and any possible changes done that might be related to server or game development will be experienced in-world by the PCs. There is no way for them to know if development efforts can even reach them at this point.
