<b>Deployment on Tuesday, July 30. Network revamp.</b> [https://www.asheronscall.com/en/forums/showthread.php?60948-Deployment-on-Tuesday-July-30-Network-revamp Link]
<b>Asheron has now passed away</b>
<br>
<br>
Next Tuesday we are planning to deploy a patch that will revamp the Asheron's Call network code. The goal of this deployment is to alleviate or eliminate many of the port mapping issues needed to get AC running on modern routers. As long as the proper ports are open the game should just work.
RIP Asheron's Call

<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.
 
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.

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.

It’s been an amazing run. You’ve done Asheron Realaidain proud.
 
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>
Greetings.
The latest Decal Memlocs are = <font color=green>0.0.11.6096</font>

We have gone through the Day of Dev’s Time suggestions!

<br>
<b>[http://acpedia.org/wiki/Plugins#Standalone_Programs Decal Standalone Plugins];</b><br>
A majority of the suggestions that were not chosen fell into one of two groups. The first group included suggestions that would take much longer than a day, or even a few days. For example, a weapon tailoring system is a large undertaking requiring extreme amounts of testing. Such things are well beyond the scope of Day of Dev’s Time. The second group included suggestions that would compromise the loot system. We have no plans to change the game in such a way as to marginalize the randomized loot system by implementing tech to craft or combine items, creating superior pieces of loot.

<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>
<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.
It's time again to tell us what you would do if you could implement one small change to Asheron's Call!
<br>
The rules are simple:
* You only get one post to make a suggestion.
* Your suggestion must be a change that can be implemented in no more than one day.
* You are allowed to make additional posts to support or agree with other suggestions.
* Posts that disparage or attack other player's suggestions will be removed.
At the end we will pick a number of suggestions and look at adding them to the game. We can't consider suggestions in this thread that are major projects that will take more time so don't waste your one suggestion post!
<br>
What would you change with one day of dev's time?

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".
