[[Has icon::File:calendar2.png|right]]
Since its first iteration in 2009 <s>Echo Bazaar</s> Fallen London has changed in nearly every perceptible way. This page is an effort to preserve those changes in one place.

==What Goes Here==

==2009==
* 15 October – A beta version of Echo Bazaar, a Victorian gothic browser game, is released.<ref>https://twitter.com/EchoBazaar/status/4893495610</ref> Players can request an invitation to play. The only means of authentication is a Twitter account. The game consists primarily of [[:Category:Qualities|stories]] played through various [[:Category:Storylets|storylets]], available as long as their requirements are met, and [[:Category:Cards|cards]], of which a limited number at a time can be drawn from an opportunity deck. Stories require actions to play, which regenerate at a rate of 1 every 7 minutes, and up to 10 can be stored at once. Playing tends to increase one of the four main stats: [[Watchful]], [[Shadowy]], [[Dangerous]] and [[Persuasive]]. These often dictate what stories are available to play. They can be raised up to level 50. After escaping from [[Tutorial Prison|prison]], players can find stories in various areas of Fallen London: [[Ladybones Road]], [[Spite]], [[Watchmaker's Hill]], [[Veilgarden]], [[The Forgotten Quarter]], [[The Flit]], [[Wolfstack Docks]] and [[The Shuttered Palace]]. Travelling to and from these locations is possible through [[Your Lodgings]]. Among the stories available from the very beginning are the early stages of [[Ambitions (Guide)|the four Ambitions]] and [[Having Recurring Dreams: The Burial of the Dead|a]] [[Having Recurring Dreams: The Fire Sermon|selection]] [[Having Recurring Dreams: Is Someone There?|of]] [[Having Recurring Dreams: Death by Water|dreams]].

In the last eight months, the number of third-party worlds to have received any updates can be counted on the fingers of a single hand. We disabled the creation of new worlds in January 2019, and in August last year we let you know that we planned to retire all user-created StoryNexus worlds. Now we have an update about what this will look like, and when it will happen. From the 15th July, world creators will no longer have access to the StoryNexus content management system.  That means it will no longer be possible to edit StoryNexus worlds. Worlds which contain fewer than 50 branches or which are unpublished will be taken offline. (If you’d like to publish it before then, you can change the status of your world on the Edit World page. Provided that it meets the branch requirements, it will then remain online.) Remaining worlds – some 160 of them, by our estimate – will remain online and playable.

Ford the river and push past the vines to meet previous mayors at the Fruits of the Zee, and experience the intrigues of elections past – even relive the opening of Arbor of the Roses. And in the Waswood, false histories mingle with the truth; you may catch glimpses of the could-have-beens and never-weres of London’s history. The Waswood Calendar will rotate through a different past event every week, looping back around once each event has been shown. Some events – such as Mayoral appearances at Fruits of the Zee – will allow you to gain items or qualities that were previously retired, if you do not already have them. The calendar is otherwise not a profitable venture, but a slow, low-pressure tour through the past. The Waswood Calendar is available to all players who have a Parabolan Base-Camp and access to the Waswood. It starts its reminiscence today with Sinning Jenny at Fruits of the Zee."</ref>
