<b>Save The Date: Black Friday Bonus!</b> [https://www.asheronscall.com/en/forums/showthread.php?62124-Save-The-Date-Black-Friday-Bonus link]<br>
This decision did not come easy, and we know this is disappointing for many of you. This game is a labor of love, and it's not easy for us to bring it to an end.
Mark your calendars, because we're going to have a bonus XP / Luminance event for Black Friday! Skip those lines and crazy crowds at the stores and enjoy a +50% bonus to Questing XP and Luminance... we'll run the bonus from Wednesday November 27th through Sunday December 1st to give you plenty of time to visit with family before you visit your Dereth family! We're also going to go ahead and extend this bonus to all servers. Hope to see you then!

<b>Server Status Update: The War of Darktide and Morningthaw 1:43 PM Eastern (-5 GMT)</b> [https://www.asheronscall.com/en/forums/showthread.php?62093-Server-Status-Update-The-War-of-Darktide-and-Morningthaw-1-43-PM-Eastern-%28-5-GMT%29 link]<br>
We have had a phenomenally long run; one of the longest in the world of MMORPGs, and that in and of itself is a spectacular feat. We are proud of our legacy, and the entire Asheron's Call team has been honored to adventure with you for nearly twenty years. We thank you very much for being a part of it.
More information and developments regarding Morningthaw and Darktide server connectivity issues. Prepare for a long and interesting story!
<br>
On Sunday our datacenter experienced a power outage, and backup power failed to properly initiate. This put Morningthaw server in a bad state and the server hardware ultimately died (character data is fine). Today our tech team brought Morningthaw back using different hardware. Unfortunately, that hardware is causing a connection conflict with Darktide when we turned Morningthaw back on. The result has been that Morningthaw has declared war on Darktide - whenever it is up, it tries to assassinate Darktide and the power struggle is like a clash of the gods in the server room.... or at least that's how it plays out in my mind when I think about it. It's far less exciting in person.

We are in the process of preparing to move Asheronscall.com to our new data center. What this means for you is that sometime around 9:00 AM Eastern (-5 GMT) on Monday, March 14th we will temporarily close the AC forums to posting, so that we can copy the data over to the new data center, do some checks on it, and then reopen the forums to posting. It's possible the web site may be unavailable for a while as this work is being done.

When the web site is reopened, you should simply see the ability to post in the forums, and that's that. However, some Internet Service Providers may take some time for the new DNS information to propagate, so if you run into an issue, you can clear your browser cache, or, if you are technically savvy enough to want to do it, open up a command prompt on your computer and type ipconfig /dnsflush. This would be something you could choose to do after we reopen the web site on Monday. Eventually, all ISPs will have updated their DNS information, so regardless of whether you take these steps, things should "just work".
The Asheron's Call Game Servers will be brought down on Tuesday, November 12th from 8:00 - 11:00 AM Eastern (-5 GMT) to launch the November event, [[Fowl Play]].
