	We've had a run of bad luck lately, and this forced us to keep the worlds out of service much more than usual. We did so in order to restore missing characters (see above), improve our database system, or do a minor update (see below). From the day that it shipped in November, AC has had a reputation for very little downtime, and we will earn that reputation again. Please know that we take a world out of service only when it is in the best interest of the players, and we wring our hands for every minute that Dereth is not available to you. We promise to do better, and get back to our previous pattern of only going out of service for a few hours each month in order to perform major updates.

			\| Title = Tell Your Friends: Asheron's Call Discounted to Retailers!
			\| Text = Asheron's Call leads the vanguard of online worlds with monthly upgrades that add new monsters, dungeons, quests, gameplay features, and technology. Right now, Shadow creatures massing in the wilderness have reorganized as if responding to a summons. Ghastly spire citadels have erupted from the earth and hover in the sky near major towns. Adventurers have been teleported away by an invisible force, then subjected to strange tests and interrogations. A major conflict with evil appears imminent.<br><br>At this critical time, we've discounted the retail price of Asheron's Call to recruit as many adventurers as possible. With the money new players will save on the game, they can buy several extra months in Dereth. Bring your friends in on the current adventure. They won't regret it, and we promise to unite your playing group with new stories and features for years to come.
