| <b>Welcome to our New Hosting Site</b> - [http://ac.wikkii.net Link]
| | 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>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.
| |
|
| |
|
| 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].
| | 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. |

| <br>Wikia has decided to move to a new custom skin this fall that will replace Monaco as the default skin for most Wikia wikis. Monaco will be supported for a time but will eventually be phased out completely. Monobook (which many ACCW readers use) will continue to be supported however there is no promise that it too will not be removed at some point. While the new skin is still being actively developed, you can get a first look [http://community.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:Sannse/Your_First_Look_at_the_New_Wikia here]. If you would like to help beta test the skin and influence the final result you can apply [http://community.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:Susan_Taylor/Become_a_Wikia_beta_tester here]. If you have thoughts or concerns for our particular wiki please let us know on our [[Forum:General|forum]]. | | 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.

| | 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.
