<b>Asheron's Call is Officially Dead Jan 31, 2017:-(</b> [https://www.asheronscall.com/en/forums/showthread.php?73423-Asheron-s-Call link]<br>
It is with a heavy heart that we must announce the end of our support for Asheron's Call and Asheron’s Call 2, and will close both services on January 31st, 2017.

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.

<b>Some February 2014 event details have been announced.</b> [https://www.asheronscall.com/en/forums/showthread.php?62779-News-about-the-next-update Link]
<b>Upcoming Web Site Data Center Migration - Monday, March 14th</b> [https://www.asheronscall.com/en/forums/showthread.php?65588-Upcoming-Web-Site-Data-Center-Migration-Monday-March-14th link]<br>
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.


I know players are anxiously waiting for an update about the state of Asheron’s Call. (This is probably because I promised to have an update early this week.) We want to have an honest discussion about our future plans, even though we still have outstanding challenges to solve before we can put those plans into place.
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".


We are working hard on the February update, and we hope to have the update finished this week. We are aiming for a patch a week from Tuesday, on March 4th. As always, if we run into bugs or problems that date might have to change. This caveat is why we generally don’t release dates before the patch is approved, but in this case I suspect players would rather have tentative information than none at all.
We'll keep you updated.  
 
The February update includes some cool new features:
<br>
<br>
* The random rewards for the [[Viridian Rise]] have been reworked and most of the consumable rewards have been removed.
[https://www.asheronscall.com/en/forums/member.php?61710-Cordovan Cordovan] - <font color=red>Turbine Community Relations </font>
* A brand new [[Colosseum|coliseum]] to challenge players and top end characters.
* Enhancements to the three [[Societies of Dereth|Societies]], the [[Celestial Hand]], the [[Eldrytch Web]], and the [[Radiant Blood]].
* Paragon weapons. Characters can slowly enhance their favorite weapons by forging them into Paragon weapons. The process that will send characters all over Dereth to prove themselves by completing heroic tasks and gaining Luminance. Though the process is involved, Paragon weapons gain levels and empower the user with substantial benefits. The process can enhance melee weapons, missile weapons or casters.
* Enlightenment. A system designed for our most dedicated players, Enlightenment allows a character who has reached the pinnacle of levels and Luminance to let it all go and start over. The process of Enlightenment is certainly not for the faint of heart, but enlightenment will provide an avenue for players to prove that they are some of the most hardcore players of the game.
<font color="red">Once this next update is in the hands of the players, the updates to Asheron’s Call will be limited. We intend to fix critical bugs and continue maintenance and support on the game. While there is always a chance we will put out a small update if time permits, players should have the expectation that updates will be limited to maintenance, bug fixes, and perhaps balance iterations of February content such as the new Colosseum.</font>
