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.

As we come close to finalizing the design changes for the big February update we want to keep the players informed about the changes and incorporate their feedbacl. The changes to melee we are planning for February are summarized below.

<b>Weapon Skills Update for February 2012</b> - [http://forums.ac.turbine.com/showthread.php?t=53246 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>
We have spent time going through all the feedback from our original proposal, and the follow up proposals presenting option 1, option 2, and option 3. Based on player feedback we feel that a system closer to option 1 would be best for the game. We realize there is not a general consensus on this, and that some players still have concerns and we will be trying to gather feedback on option 1 and addressing issues as much as design and tech allow.

<b>A reminder from Turbine regarding third party add-ons.</b> - [http://forums.ac.turbine.com/showthread.php?p=596615#post596615 Link]
<br>
Please be aware that third party add-ons are prohibited under the [http://ac.turbine.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=463 Asheron’s Call Code of Conduct] and some may require you to enter your Asheron’s Call login credentials (username and password). These specific add-ons have a high risk of resulting in account compromise due to the storage of your user credentials.
<br>
Turbine will be unable to assist with any account compromise that results in loss of characters, items or in-game currency. We recommend that anyone using add-ons that log credentials discontinue using them, update their passwords via [https://myaccount.turbine.com myaccount.turbine.com] and to uninstall the programs completely.

<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.


----
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".
