<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.


<b>Bonus Experience and Luminance Weekend - May 30th through June 2nd</b> [https://www.asheronscall.com/en/forums/showthread.php?63366-Bonus-Experience-and-Luminance-Weekend-May-30th-through-June-2nd 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.


Asheron's Call will be having a Bonus Weekend this coming weekend. All experience and Luminance gains will be increased by an additional 50% for a total of 150% gained! The weekend will last from Friday evening to Tuesday morning.
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.

<br>
As of August 2014, Asheron’s Call and Asheron's Call 2 will no longer charge a subscription fee for players. The last payments will be processed on June 31st, making July the final “paid” month. Note that this means some players will technically receive some portion of July free as a result, as we have decided to absorb the cost and not run partial payments to cover it. Other important information for the transition:

<b>6 hour downtime, whats being changed?</b> [https://www.asheronscall.com/en/forums/showthread.php?63273-6-hour-downtime-whats-being-changed link]<br>
<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>
The length of the downtime is unrelated to the patch itself.
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.


The changes:
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".
* Players should now be able to complete the Paragon Weapon steps.
* Healing in combat mode now has a difficulty modifier of 1.1, down from 1.3.
* Alternate currency promissory notes are now tradeable.
* Landscape trees are now in full bloom.

I am preparing an update, maybe as early as Thursday.
Asheron's Call 1 and 2 game servers undergo a world restart every Tuesday morning starting around 8:00 AM Eastern (-5 GMT) to promote the general health of the game worlds. We have not typically announced these every week, but want to post this announcement to hopefully clear up the occasional confusion that players experience when they attempt to log in during our weekly restart. Thanks!

<b>Small Changes</b> [https://www.asheronscall.com/en/forums/showthread.php?63248-Small-changes link]<br>
I am preparing a patch to fix the problem with the 33rd level of Paragon weapons. Since I have to patch, I am planning on spending some extra time to add in a few small tweaks. I want to do the following:
* Fix the 33rd Paragon weapon quest.
* Reduce the difficulty of healing in combat mode. It is currently a multiplier of 1.3 on Difficulty, I am thinking a 1.1.
* Promissory Note for Alt Currency will be Tradeable.
* Trees will be returned to their full summer glory.
* I will look into another Bonus XP weekend.
* I will look into the possibility of live events at least for the largest servers.
* The Gauntlet 20 hour timer is there to reduce the chance of people hogging the Gauntlet.
* I will look into the design intent of the creatures in the Gauntlet that are going invulnerable.
