<b>Bad Advertisements on Wiki</b>
<b>Asheron has now passed away</b>
<br>Over the past few months a couple of readers have had their computers adversely affected by advertisements served up by Wikia (this is a problem Wikia wide and not related to our particular wiki). We are very sorry for readers who have had to spend time and effort cleaning up their systems. While we are glad that very few people have been affected, it has also made it difficult for us to find the specific ads that caused the problem. If you experience any problems with any ad, please report it. You can find directions on how to do so [[Help:Bad advertisements|here]].
<br>
 
RIP Asheron's Call
''For the record, we're as angry and upset about malware ads as anyone on the Internet. Our sales team has a strict no tolerance policy for selling advertising only to reputable advertisers. Unfortunately, like almost every other site on the Internet today, we also use ad networks like Google, AOL's Ad.com, Tribal Fusion and others. The ad networks often in turn sell our inventory to other ad networks. As a result, occasionally a bad ad gets into the system somewhere and finding it is an incredibly frustrating whack-a-mole problem, because even our partner sometimes doesn't know who sold the ad.''
<br>
 
2 November, 1999 - 31 January, 2017 at 12:00 EST, rest in peace my good friend.
''We work with our viewers to try to identify the ads, use firebug to try to identify the offending ad network and then call them to shut it down... and the next day the ad can sometimes re-appear through yet another ad network. But be assured that we are constantly working to find and shut down any of these ads as they appear as we hate them as much as you do.''

<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.

<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.


<b>Bonus Quest XP Weekend, Feb 26-28</b> - [http://forums.ac.turbine.com/showthread.php?t=44908 Link]
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".
