ninjonxb Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 (edited) I wish there was an official calendar of events. Somewhere on the website and easily accessible. Since there is not, I decided to create my own. This calendar only has dates given and only for game wide events (no community server events will be added). I am on the forums fairly often so if they announce some sort of change I should be able to update it easily. I have the calendar in 2 formats. Instructions on how to subscribe to them are below If you use google calendar to manage all of calendars across multiple devices, use the following. 1. Open the link in a new tab 2. In the bottom right click "+ google calendar" 3. Follow the instructions https://www.google.com/calendar/embed?src=04iuetctbi58ajip8piugretnk%40group.calendar.google.com&ctz=America/New_York If you do not use google calendar, use this option (this will work with most applications, for a full list see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_applications_with_iCalendar_support) 1. Open the link on the device you would like to subscribe on (if you are using a website like 30 boxes there should be an "add by url" option) 2. In the application, you should get several options. You can choose to remove alerts (all will have an alert of 1 day before) and what is refreshes at (i would recommend an hour or less) http://webcal://p02-calendarws.icloud.com/ca/subscribe/1/LfvXSVE8VA9rc8dHmCC52ZNH8X5TpNCz0wAAQ7Y_cFHgVZvx4Hn8Jr7y9SPxcqOuaVKewQyJou7G7E-4FOihg11tp_XlIKIJ28e_bLNXInw Twitter: I have made an automated twitter account for this calendar. Currently there will be a tweet 15 minutes before the event with the Title, Start, End, and a link to the google calendar event. I may also add tweets for 24 hours and 1 week before. If there are any other formats you would like made, I should be able to easily make more formats. Depending on what you are using, you should be able to click either link above and subscribe to the calendar. This way if I make any changes you will be updated. Depending on your device you may get an alert. Edit: I have cleaned up the post to be more clear with instructions.

Drebs Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Thanks for this! With all the derp on these forums, its great to see someone take initative and do something to help the community. Force blessings upon you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninjonxb Posted July 8, 2013 Author Share Posted July 8, 2013 Thanks for this! With all the derp on these forums, its great to see someone take initative and do something to help the community. Force blessings upon you. It is something I was thinking about doing for a little while. I wanted to do something to help the community and to me we had all of the bases covered except a one stop place to get all of the things coming up for the game. I have added (and I will put it in with anything added or updated going forward) links to the source for the date to every event and I fixed the 2.2.2 title to be S&V not TfB.

scotthomas Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 I promised myself I wasn't going to log into these forums today so I could get some work done, but your hard work deserves a response. I live and die by Google Calendar, so thank you, ninjonxb, for creating this lifeline! Here's hoping it stays updated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KurganNazzir Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 I've been doing this for games for at least four years (event dates, game/patch/expac release dates, that kind of thing), I just never thought anyone other than me would care so I never said anything. Guess I wasn't as alone as I thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I updated the original post with better information about which to choose and instructions. Edited July 9, 2013 by ninjonxb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninjonxb Posted July 29, 2013 Author Share Posted July 29, 2013 This is a bit of an older thread but I wanted to bump for those that may have followed so they will see my edits. I added an automated twitter for the calendar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
