== History ==
The Asheron's Call Community Wiki (ACCW) was created by [[user:Gouru|Gouru]] of [[Morningthaw]] in October of 2007. The idea for the wiki came from [http://forums.ac.turbine.com/showthread.php?t=35737 this thread] and later [http://forums.ac.turbine.com/showthread.php?t=35759 this thread] on the Turbine message boards. Other fan sites were not being updated frequently. Site redesigns orphaned content and made it unreachable at the larger corporate sites. And they all required contributors to submit information to the staff, which would then need to review and add it. With their staff activity shrinking, the idea of a wiki that anyone could add to and see the results immediately was born. The ACCW grew quickly and is now the only major AC fan site where you can find information about current [[Patches|patch content]] as well as [[Quests|older content]]. The wiki is indebted to the many [[ACCWiki:Community Portal#Wiki Contributors|contributors both large and small]] that have made the wiki so useful for all of us that enjoy Asheron's Call.

=== Site Moves ===
When Asheron's Call Community Wiki was first created it was located at the URL [http://asheron.info Asheron.info]. For about the first year Gouru hosted the nascent wiki with a commercial hosting service. By December of 2008, the wiki had outgrown hosting at [http://www.siteground.com/ SiteGround] and needed to relocate. The player [http://forums.ac.turbine.com/member.php?u=40475 Mav] offered to host it for free, and ACCW remained at asheron.info. In the early fall of 2009, the wiki had become too large for Mav to continue hosting, and the wiki once again needed a new host. In September of 2009, the wiki moved to [http://www.wikia.com/wiki/Wikia Wikia.com] hosting and the site's URL was changed to asheron.wikia.com. In October of 2010 the wiki moved again, this time due to extreme changes in the host company and the imposition of restrictions that would have made it difficult to present the wiki's now substantial body of information. Several other large wikis moved at the same time as we did, including World of Warcraft. ACCW moved to ac.wikkii.net where control was returned to the contributors to decide how the wiki should look and function. Also Wikkii generously allowed us to regain use of our original [http://asheron.info asheron.info] address to help as many people as possible find us at our current location.
