Addresses that match their titles, charts that hover together, and a busy week of game news

Since last night's post, Vi.ki has shipped ten more releases. Some of them you will notice in the address bar, some on the Steam charts, and a good number of them are simply news: a beta that ended, a raid with a return date, and a remake with one more bottle. Here is what is new.

Every address matches its page

A page's address is now its title, so what you see in a link is what you get when you open it. 82 pages were renamed to fit, Olden Era vs Heroes 3 among them. A few examples: Ananta's map page is now ananta.vi.ki/map-and-cities, Aion 2's expeditions page is aion2.vi.ki/expedition-dungeons, and Olden Era's release date page is oldenera.vi.ki/1-0-release-date. Five titles that were too long got shorter instead, so those pages kept their addresses.

Nothing you saved or shared breaks: every old address forwards to the new one. A viki's home page also has just one address now, its own root. A link like aion2.vi.ki/aion-2 takes you straight to aion2.vi.ki.

Olden Era vs Heroes 3

If you are wondering how the new Heroes game compares with the 1999 classic, Olden Era vs Heroes 3 puts the two side by side, and links over to the Heroes of Might and Magic 3 viki for the full story of the original.

Links you can click

A web address written out in a page used to show as plain text. Now any http or https address in a page is a link you can click, so a source or a sister viki is always one click away.

Steam charts that hover together

Yesterday's post introduced "Compare to" under the Steam charts. Now, when you compare two games, resting your pointer on one chart shows the player count on both at that same moment, so you can read the two games' numbers for the same hour or day without hunting for it.

The zoom help has moved too. Instead of a note popping up over the chart when you scroll, a quiet tip sits right-aligned under it: "Tip: Ctrl + Mousewheel zooms the chart" (Command on a Mac). On a phone or tablet, where there is no mouse wheel, it stays hidden. Try it on Valheim or Civilization 4.

The vikis keep growing

The daily passes kept up with a lot of news. Among the highlights:

• World of Warcraft: Forever: the beta closed on Oct 23, 2026. Character creation and early name reservation open on Oct 27, ahead of the Nov 4 launch.
• Aion 2: NC named the date for the reworked Ludra raid. It returns on Nov 4 in Normal mode at item level 2,800 and Hard mode at 3,000, with a Ludra Hunt event for the first Hard mode parties.
• Ocarina of Time: the bottles page now covers the remake's fifth Bottle, which comes from a new bug quest in Castle Town.
• Diablo 4: patch 3.2.4 is set for Oct 28, 2026 and lets Prime Evil Splinters stack to 99.

The Oct 24 pass alone also covered Enshrouded becoming Steam Deck Verified, a new Grand Theft Auto 6 pre-order estimate and Phantom Blade Zero's DLSS 4.5 driver, and improved 26 pages across the vikis.
