<b>Weapon Skills Update for February 2012</b> - [http://forums.ac.turbine.com/showthread.php?t=53246 Link]
<b>Asheron has now passed away</b>
<br>
<br>
We have been reviewing player feedback for quite some time and we are in the process of designing some changes for the February update in response to player feedback and suggestions. We are looking for early feedback on these changes and posting this early design well in advance of our February update so we have plenty of time to make adjustments.
RIP Asheron's Call

<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>
<br>''Recently, we were made aware of an issue with the security of our LOTRO community web applications. Protecting player accounts is a top priority and we take any potential issues seriously.  As a result, we closed all of our forums as we investigate the situation.  We are continuing to investigate and the forums will not reopen until this work is complete.''
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.


''As an additional precaution we recommend that all players change their passwords by visiting https://myaccount.turbine.com. Please remember to use unique, hard-to guess passwords that are not associated with other online services or sites, and always look for and report unusual activity in your account to Turbine customer support.''
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".
