Let's put a name to this new MWO Timeline Expansion!
(Thank you MWO for IS Omnimechs, new 2023/2024 weapons, new mech chassis, maps, etc.!)

(The previous MWO Timeline was called The Civil War, Year 3062-3067)

Shall we call this:

a) Jihad (Jihad era weapons, etc.)

b ) Dark Age (Dark Age era weapons, etc.)

c) or something else? (Even D U N E called it holy war or something like that, thus avoiding option (a) )

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OR, MWO to name its own MWO Timeline Expansion and make it official!

There is no timeline in the Quick Play and there is no timeline in the Faction Play. Thus, naming non-existing timeline is pointless.

Also, the Black Hawk-KU debuted in 3055, right in the half of the Clan Invasion era.

As for the weapons, for example Blazers have been used since early Succession Wars.

I think getting to kick the teeth in of some WoBblies sounds fun, and their omnimechs look pretty damned cool.

Jihad has my vote.

Better yet, make it an alternative timeline where Dark Age doesn't take place and is instead replaced by what goes on in MWO.

What better way to give meaning to a game than to use what happens in it for "lore" purposes.

you mean the fp salt wars, the player exodus, the rise of clan cauldron, and the comstar whale dairy. yea, no.

if you want a date look through all the things in the game and whatever the highest date of introduction you can find is what year it is.
