<b>Upcoming <strike>February</strike> March update</b> - [https://www.asheronscall.com/en/forums/showthread.php?62779-News-about-the-next-update Link]

Greetings.

I know players are anxiously waiting for an update about the state of Asheron’s Call. (This is probably because I promised to have an update early this week.) We want to have an honest discussion about our future plans, even though we still have outstanding challenges to solve before we can put those plans into place.

We are working hard on the February update, and we hope to have the update finished this week. We are aiming for a patch a week from Tuesday, on March 4th. As always, if we run into bugs or problems that date might have to change. This caveat is why we generally don’t release dates before the patch is approved, but in this case I suspect players would rather have tentative information than none at all.

February includes some cool new features:
<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>
<br><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.
* The random rewards for the Viridian Rise have been reworked and most of the consumable rewards have been removed.
 
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.


* A '''brand new coliseum''' to challenge players and top end characters.
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.


* '''Enhancements to the three societies''', the Celestial Hand, the Eldrytch Web, and the Radiant Blood.
It’s been an amazing run. You’ve done Asheron Realaidain proud.


* '''Paragon weapons'''. Characters can slowly enhance their favorite weapons by forging them into Paragon weapons. The process that will send characters all over Dereth to prove themselves by completing heroic tasks and gaining Luminance. Though the process is involved, Paragon weapons gain levels and empower the user with substantial benefits. The process can enhance melee weapons, missile weapons or casters.<br>(This process will work on most quest and loot weapons that do not already have set spells.)
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.


* '''Enlightenment'''. A system designed for our most dedicated players, Enlightenment allows a character who has reached the pinnacle of levels and Luminance to let it all go and start over. The process of Enlightenment is certainly not for the faint of heart, but enlightenment will provide an avenue for players to prove that they are some of the most hardcore players of the game.
If you have any questions, please visit support.wbgames.com
** An enlightened character proves themselves by sacrificing all experience, levels, Luminance, and Luminance augmentations.
<br>
** The character starts fresh, gaining a title, an extra point in all trained and specialized skills, and two extra Vitality points.

** Enlightened characters retain their normal augmentations. They no longer have to spend experience points on those augmentations as they level.

* The cost of major armatures has been fixed.


* The value of massive mana stones has been restored.
<b>Decal, Decal Plugin and Decal Tool Updates;</b>
<br>
<br>
Once this next update is in the hands of the players, the updates to Asheron’s Call will be limited. We intend to fix critical bugs and continue maintenance and support on the game. While there is always a chance we will put out a small update if time permits, players should have the expectation that updates will be limited to maintenance, bug fixes, and perhaps balance iterations of February content such as the new Coliseum.
The latest Decal Memlocs are = <font color=green>0.0.11.6096</font>
<br><br>
<br>
Let me reiterate that we have no plans to close Asheron’s Call. We plan to keep the game open and the servers running.
<b>[http://acpedia.org/wiki/Plugins#Decal_Plugins Decal Plugins];</b><br>
<br><br>
* [http://treestats.net/ TreeStats] 1.2.1 - 7th August, 2016 <font color=blue>Updated</font><br>
Although this change of focus is necessary for our company, we love the Asheron’s Call games and we want them to live forever. We understand that players who have been enjoying our monthly updates will be disappointed at the change to Asheron’s Call. Our long term plan is to make the game free to all active accounts. We are working on a date in the not-to-distant future where all active accounts will be able to play the game for free. Asheron’s Call and Asheron’s Call 2 will be a gift to our loyal players.
* [http://www.asheronscall.net/ Radar] 1.2.2 - 19th May, 2016 <font color=blue>Updated</font><br>
<br><br>
<b>[http://acpedia.org/wiki/Plugins#Standalone_Programs Decal Standalone Plugins];</b><br>
In addition, we have been working within the company to start an initiative sometime near the end of the year to allow players to run their own Asheron’s Call servers. We intend to put the call out to tech savvy enthusiasts that love Asheron’s Call to create a community for players who want to run their own Asheron’s Call servers.

<br><br>
 
Unfortunately, setting up and running an AC server is not a user friendly experience. Enthusiasts would need some knowledge of running an SQL server, setting up the network, using our tools to configure the SQL server, installing the Asheron’s Call server with our complicated tools, and distributing the client. Our intent is to help these players build a community so these processes can be created and distributed to people interested in running an Asheron’s Call game. If that works out we can look into releasing tools and data files that would allow players to modify game data and create alternate content for their own Asheron’s Call games.

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".
 
We'll keep you updated.

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!
