My Wiki:About
History
The Asheron's Call Community Wiki (ACCW) was created by Gouru of Morningthaw in October of 2007. The idea for the wiki came from this thread and later this thread on the Turbine message boards. Other fan sites were not being updated frequently and they all required contributors to submit information to the staff, which would then need to review and add it. With the staff activity shrinking, the idea of a wiki that anyone could add to was born. The ACCW grew quickly and is now the only major fan site to find current information.

Site Moves
ACCW was originally located at the URL Asheron.info. When the site was created by Gouru, it was being hosted by a commercial service. By December of 2008, the wiki had outgrown it's host and needed to relocate. The player Mav offered to host it for free, and the ACCW remained at asheron.info. In the early fall of 2009, the wiki had become too much for Mav to continue hosting, and the ACCW once again needed a new host. In September of 2009, the wiki moved to Wikia.com and the site was relocated to asheron.wikia.com.
