+===== New Progress Triggers =====
+A typical timeline for a new Prog is about 6-8 weeks after a large release hits Public Test. \\
+When a release hits PTB there are several weeks where bugs are found, changes are made by Irongate and modders try to fix their mods.\\
+Then there is the actual release - which inevitably breaks mods again. Once those are fixed - typically several more weeks - a new Prog is released following the steps above.
+===== Existing Players and a New Progression Server =====
+If you are already on Main you do not have to work through a new progression server.\\
+If you choose to "sit out" a prog server you will not have access to it until after the last boss is released.\\
+After that you may access it with any character that has already gained access to the Main server\\
+That said, most players enjoy encountering new content in the context it was designed for e.g. Fighting bears for the first time in Deer armour with stone age weapons and minimal skills is a bit more challenging and fun than just rocking up in enchanted gear and one shotting it.
