This is the latest installment of a frequently updated series of reports on "The State of the Code" for Asheron's Call. In this report, we keep players informed as to the state of some of the more technical aspects of AC, particularly bugs we are working on and technical limitations of which you should be aware. Look at the "News" page on the Zone for other articles about recent additions and changes to AC.
<br><br>
<font color=#ffffff>'''Every time I enter one of the Menhir Ring portals, I get transported back to the surface. What is going on?'''</font>
<br>
The Fenmalain, Caulnalain and Shendolain Menhir Ring dungeons were removed from the game in October. However, the portals to these dungeons were inadvertently left in. If you go through these portals, you will end up back on the surface. Also, if you have tied to these dungeons, you will now find that your portal recall spell will not lead you anywhere. Please note, however, that the Fenmalain, Caulnalain and Shendolain Vestibules and their accompanying quests are still in the game and ready for adventurers.
<br><br>
<font color=#ffffff>'''Why are there still stars in the sky sometimes during the day?'''</font>
<br>
There is a bug that makes it possible for stars to randomly fade back in during the daytime. There are no other side effects from this bug except for being able to see some stars during the day.
<br><br>
<font color=#ffffff>'''Why can I no longer give away my Black Boulder that I got on Aerlinthe Isle?'''</font>
<br>
The Black Boulder has been made non-transferable. It will no longer be lost on death.
<br><br>
<font color=#ffffff>'''State of the Code Archive'''</font>
<br>
''Below are items from previous State of the Code articles. Some items have been retired from the archive below because we believe they have been fixed. If they turn out not to have been fixed, we will revive those items.
<br><br>
<font color=#ffffff>'''Major game update of October 10, 2000'''</font>
<br>
In the early hours of October 10, we introduced another major update. Our ever-evolving storyline continues as amazing new adventures have been added to Dereth. There were also a few bugs that were fixed in this update as well. Look for news articles on the Zone that will further tell you of the changes made.
<br><br>
<font color=#ffffff>'''When I dyed my clothes/armor, I failed and now the Armor Level is worse. What happened?'''</font>
<br>
Be warned: if you try to dye armor or clothes and fail, an Armor Level degradation will occur. Make sure you are high enough in the necessary skills before attempting to dye your armor or clothes.
<br><br>
<font color=#ffffff>'''I gave an item to the collector and he did not return anything to me, including my original item. Is he a thief?'''</font>
<br>
No, he is not a thief. Each collector in the game is different from all others. Each has his own selection of items that he will take and return something else for. If you give a collector something that he does not collect, he may simply keep it and not return anything. You should talk to the collector first to make sure he takes what you are giving him.
