Update on Final Billing For Asheron’s Call and Asheron's Call 2 Link
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:

Small Changes link
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.
