Nearly a year and half ago, February 8<sup>th</sup>, 2009, the Kingdom Hearts Wiki happily celebrated its 1,000<sup>th</sup> article's creation. After reaching such a milestone, many of us wondered how 1,000 other ''Kingdom Hearts''-related topics would come in the future (or were actually in existence!) that would have their own article. Well, the wait and wondering is now over! Today, user and administrator [[User:DoorToNothing|DoorToNothing]] created the 2,000<sup>th</sup> article of the Kingdom Hearts Wiki, [[Geo Impact]]! We sure have grown a great amount since February 2009, have we not?

From the staff, community, and entire Kingdom Hearts Wiki, we would like to thank you readers for all of the support you have given us all these years. We are excited to continue delivering you extensive and up-to-date coverage, as the ''Kingdom Hearts'' series marches onward! We're celebrating this momentous moment in our wiki's history and reflecting on what there has been, is, and is to come [[Forum:Celebration and Wiki Reflection|here]], please drop by and leave a message!

Greetings from the writers of Trinity Archives. We hope that our North American and European readers and viewers are enjoying being able to play ''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep]]'', after nearly half a year of waiting; we sure know we are!

However, just a week after the game was released in North America, the rumored ''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Final Mix]]'' has indeed been confirmed! The game is known to feature all of the formerly exclusive contents of the North American port of the game, as well as several new features, such as [[Master Eraqus]] in his [[Keyblade Armor|armored]] form and a new secret movie! The game is slated to be released at the beginning of 2011. Be sure to keep up with the Kingdom Hearts Wiki's article on the game for all the updates!

Several forums and discussions are taking place across the wiki regarding ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Final Mix'', particularly in the [[Forum:Twilight Town Library|Twilight Town Library]]. However, remember that the talk pages of the articles are not to be used for this kind of theorizing, social, and speculation-based conversation. Please do not host these topics on [[Talk:Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Final Mix]], or they will be removed. Thanks!

Just in time for ''Birth by Sleep'' and the impending traffic, we'd like to announce two new administrators and three new moderators.

[[User:Troisnyxetienne|Troisnyxetienne]] and [[User:Neumannz|Neumannz]] are now powerful administrators, able to vanquish trolls and dispense noogies of justice.  [[User:EternalNothingnessXIII|EternalNothingnessXIII]], [[User:Maggosh|maggosh]], and [[User:ShardofTruth|ShardofTruth]] have been granted the gift of moderation, able to roll back time and move things around like pawns in some sinister game of...wait, sorry.

Anyway, a huge congratulations to these five individuals for their hard work and dedication to the ''Kingdom Hearts Wiki''!  Hooray!

Good day to our users and editors, and thank you for your unending efforts in making the wiki a working success.

Today, I would like to announce that [[User:BebopKate|BebopKate]] joins in the administration as our new bureaucrat. This is to take over [[User:Hecko X|Hecko X]], who announced that he retires as bureaucrat, and is glad to have BebopKate as she has been an excellent contributor and administrator since her inception by him two years ago. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Hecko for all the work he has done for this beautiful Wiki, and hope that whatever future undertakings he takes be laced with success.

As for our good ol' BK, with her as Bureaucrat, I hope the wiki will strive to be a more friendlier place; less conflicts and less troubles will allow for good editors to contribute good articles. BebopKate has an excellent track record, and I personally think of her as the KHWiki's loving matron. Let us pray that BK perseveres with the additional burden on her shoulders and I hope we can see a hard-working and agreeable community with her on tow in the future.

Welcome aboard and Good luck to you, BebopKate!

After about a week of discussion, the Kingdom Hearts Wiki's very own version of the [[KHWiki:Mirage Arena|Mirage Arena]] opens its doors today!

Similar to the Dragon's Neck Coliseum of the ''Final Fantasy'' Wiki, the Mirage Arena is a popularity contest between characters, worlds, places, items, weapons and/or gameplay elements. Two links are placed head-to-head with each other per week, and at the end of four months (i.e. sixteen rounds), all the winners of the previous rounds will be pitted against each other in the one and only [[KHWiki:Mirage Arena/Joint Struggle|Joint Struggle]].

If you want to go in and be part of the fun, you must have at least seventy-five quality edits in the mainspace, which would be all of the Kingdom Hearts Wiki's articles! To do so, you can hit [[Special:Editcount]] and type in your username to see if you've hit the mark. Of course, other factors, like how productive those mainspace edits are, will be taken into account as well when verifying the winner.

Come join in the fun; if you haven't already hit the mark, get editing!

With the coming of E3 came announcements of new titles and demos for many video game series, including ''Kingdom Hearts''! Tetsuya Nomura and the Square-Enix booth announced the production of ''[[Kingdom Hearts Re:coded]]'' and ''[[Kingdom Hearts 3D]]'', as well as gameplay and an English trailer for ''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep]]''! ''Kingdom Hearts Re:coded'' is a remake of ''[[Kingdom Hearts coded]]'', but ported to the Nintendo DS! It also is set to include new features, such as multiplayer gameplay, the {{c|Deck Command|KHBBS}} system, and a new secret movie! ''Kingdom Hearts 3D'' is a game set to be released on the soon to be released Nintendo DS 3D, capable of three-dimensional gaming! While the placement of ''Kingdom Hearts 3D'' in the ''Kingdom Hearts'' timeline is very questionable and debatable, it is known that it is being developed by the same team of experts that produced ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'', and that we will have the chance to not only play as [[Sora]], but [[Riku]] as well!


Also at E3 were demos of the North American version of ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'', along with the newly released English trailer! New English screenshots are also going to start pouring in to the wiki immediately, so keep your eyes out! Also, seen in the new trailer is the new boss that has been promised: [[Young Xehanort|another Xemnas-like Unknown]]! Just a reminder, the North American version of ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'' is set to have new features included that were not present in the Japanese version, such as new Keyblades, new abilities, and Critical Mode.


Below are the new trailers for ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'' and ''Kingdom Hearts Re:coded'', as well as three screenshots from ''Kingdom Hearts 3D''!

In case you haven't seen it yet, ''[http://www.gameinformer.com/ Game Informer]'' has done an interview with Tetsuya Nomura about ''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep]]'' and a few other upcoming releases.  Unfortunately, the interview refutes earlier information that stated ''Kingdom Hearts III'' is currently underway, but does contain some interesting tidbits, including the fact that the North American release, as per other ''Kingdom Hearts'' games will have bonus features not found in the original Japanese release, including at least one extra enemy.

Today is another day of sorrow and lament for all ''Kingdom Hearts'' fans. Just today, the voice actor '''Eddie Carroll''' passed away. Eddie Carroll has been the voice actor for the lovable [[Jiminy Cricket]], both in ''Walt Disney'' films and in all of his appearances throughout the ''Kingdom Hearts'' series. He has been Jiminy Cricket's voice actor for over thirty years, having provided his voice in three ''Walt Disney'' films.

As of yet, it is currently unknown who will replace Eddie Carroll as the voice actor for Jiminy Cricket. We wish him the best; he touched our hearts with his talented voice acting for Jiminy Cricket, and shall always be remembered as an adroit voice actor.

Today is another momentous day for the Kingdom Hearts Wiki. Today, we celebrate our fourth birthday! Thanks to every single editor and contributor who has contributed even one time to our growing database; you have all helped get the Kingdom Hearts Wiki to where it is today! Here's to another great year of editing!

In addition, a recent interview with various leaders of Square-Enix's departments revealed the story behind '''''[[Kingdom Hearts: Sora Florida Meets Hannah Montana|<span style="color:fuchsia;">Kingdom Hearts: Sora Florida Meets Hannah Montana</span>]]'''''! Glad we dodged that bullet, eh? I wonder if anyone can hunt down one of the rare and elusive copies of the game that is still in existence...?

In a recent interview, series director Tetsuya Nomura has stated that there will be three new Kingdom Hearts games in the near future. Two of these will be spin-offs to the main series, and the third will be the long-awaited ''Kingdom Hearts III''! That's right, all of you fan-fiction-creating fans, it has finally been announced! Even better, Tetsuya Nomura has stated that ''Kingdom Hearts III'' will not be the end of the ''Kingdom Hearts'' series; there will be much more to come! One of the two spin-offs is expected to be released this year, but ''Kingdom Hearts III'' will not be released until ''Final Fantasy Versus XIII'' is released, the current project of Nomura's team.

After a large spot of newslessness, Square-Enix has launched not just one, but ''two'' official sites for the upcoming ''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep]]'' in North America and Europe. The first of these is the long-awaited [http://na.square-enix.com/khbbs/ North American site]. Currently, it is bare of any new information or screenshots, though it does have a very beautiful and creative display. Expect this site to update with the North American screenshots, gameplay information, and trailers of ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep''.

The second site that Square-Enix recently launched is something new: a [http://www.kingdomheartsbbs.com/ Uninversal English site]. The site links to information on the game for different countries in Europe, as well as the United States. This port site is assumed to contain links to the European sites once they are launched.

Lastly, word of ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'''s worldwide diffusion has begun! Square-Enix has officially announced the game for both North America and Europe, and screenshots have been released from the North American version of the game. Expect these images to quickly diffuse across the Kingdom Hearts Wiki!

With ''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep]]'' a week away from its release in Japan (yay!), now would probably be a good time to remind our old editors and new editors alike to take a look at the wiki [[KHWiki:Spoiler policy|spoiler policy]] regarding new games.  We're all excited, but remember that not everyone wants to know every detail of the game right away, especially when it comes to plot and character elements.

In the December 2009 issue of Game Informer magazine, the Top 200 Games of All Time list was released, according to the magazine. ''{{c|Kingdom Hearts|game}}'' ranked at 79th, and ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'' ranked at 130th. Both games ranked higher than such popular titles as ''Assassin's Creed'', ''Call of Duty II'', ''LittleBigPlanet'', ''Pong'', and ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island''. The ''Final Fantasy'' games, which are heavily related to the ''Kingdom Hearts'' series, also did very well, putting ''[[finalfantasy:Final Fantasy XII|Final Fantasy XII]]'' at 112th, ''[[finalfantasy:Final Fantasy IV|Final Fantasy IV]]'' at 80th, ''[[finalfantasy:Final Fantasy X|Final Fantasy X]]'' at 43rd, ''[[finalfantasy:Final Fantasy VII|Final Fantasy VII]]'' at 15th, and ''[[finalfantasy:Final Fantasy VI|Final Fantasy VI]]'' at 8th. The list was topped with the original NES game ''The Legend of Zelda'' at the top of the list.

The magazine also had a small preview article of ''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep]]''. Unfortunately, no new information or images were released. However, Game Informer reports that the PSP game's North American release can be expected around mid to late 2010.

With the Japanese release of ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days'' just a month away, SE has released a new trailer. The trailer is currently featured in storefronts of Japanese shops. The trailer features different characters from 358/2 Days but focuses on the new mysterious member of Organization XIII, Xion. A high quality version of the trailer can be seen [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ObZo52UQsOQ&feature=channel_page here]. Enjoy!

Hi, folks.  We're making some changes to our User Page policies since some folks are taking advantage of our more lax policies.  To make it short and simple, if you have ''any'' images that are not ''Kingdom Hearts'' related on your userpage, we are giving you a week to save them or store them away elsewhere.  On Thursday, April 9th, <u>'''all''' non-''Kingdom Hearts'' images will be removed from the wiki</u>.  It will still be okay to put non-''Kingdom Hearts'' pictures on your User Page, but they must be stored or hosted on another website, such as PhotoBucket.

Talk boxes and user boxes shouldn't be affected by this, so worry not about your colorful cubes and shiny bubbles. ^_^

Well, we had a bit of a glitch with the Twilight Town Forums...[[User:Drake Clawfang|Drake Clawfang]] discovered the forum categories were mixing with the category for [[Twilight Town]] in the game.  To make a long story short, your old discussions haven't been deleted; but it will take a while to move them into the proper area, so please bear with us and we'll get it fixed as soon as possible.  In the meantime, feel free to post in the [[Forum:Twilight Town Library|Twilight Town Library]] area.

EDIT: All fixed!  Post away as always.
