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.
<br>We will be having a bonus quest experience weekend starting sometime before 6pm Eastern on Friday January 14th and ending on Monday January 17th. (Sometime Monday morning before noon)
 
All quest XP rewards during that time will be increased by 50% for a total of 150% experience.

<b>Luminance Issue</b> - [http://forums.ac.turbine.com/showthread.php?&postid=542394#post542394 Link]
Between now and January 31st, 2017, the game will remain available to play, completely free, for any player currently with an account. New account creation will be disabled.
<br>''Recently we discovered an issue with Luminance that can allow some players to gain Luminance at a much faster rate than was intended. With the aid of our logging system, we are able to identify players that use this means to get ahead of where they should be. Any player we have identified as using this means to get ahead of where they should be will have their extra gained augmentation removed. Going forward, anyone caught doing this or communicating the steps to do it will also be subject to further disciplinary action (which could include, but is not limited to, account suspension). The issue will be resolved in the upcoming December update.''

<b>Asheron.info update</b>

<br>As many have noticed our original address has redirected to the wiki but there have been some issues with navigating the site once on it if you use that address. We are in the process of fixing that so that asheron.info will become truly interchangeable for ac.wikkii.net and this should be working fully very soon (in the meantime it may not redirect at all until all the changes propogate).

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".

<b>Welcome to our New Hosting Site</b> - [http://ac.wikkii.net Link]
<b> Weekly Asheron's Call 1 & 2 Restarts - Tuesdays, 8:00 AM Eastern (-5 GMT)</b> [https://www.asheronscall.com/en/forums/showthread.php?65501-Weekly-Asheron-s-Call-1-amp-2-Restarts-Tuesdays-8-00-AM-Eastern-%28-5-GMT%29 link]<br>
<br>Over the years we have moved hosting of the wiki a couple of times, each time because we had outgrown our host's ability to handle our usage. This time our move was for quite different reasons and had to do with Wikia's decision to seriously overhaul their default skin (which controls how the wiki is laid out and its appearance). Wikia also decided to make the skin mandatory and the major contributors to the wiki decided that the changes were fundamentally incompatible with the nature of our particular wiki. Wikia has always been a gracious and helpful host and we wish them well in the new direction they have decided to take their site, and regret that we cannot accompany them.
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!
 
<br>
The default skin is Vector, the same as used by Wikipedia. If you prefer the old look, you can set your skin to Monobook in your preferences after registering. If you have any questions or problems, please contact [[User talk:Tlosk|Tlosk]] here, on [http://asheron.wikia.com/wiki/User_talk:Tlosk Wikia], or on our announcement thread on [http://forums.ac.turbine.com/showthread.php?t=47950 Turbine's Boards].
