'''Players Banned For 7 Days For Recent Exploit''' {{Turbine Developer | Date = May 14th, 2009 | Link = http://forums.ac.turbine.com/showthread.php?t=42472 | Text = A short time back there was an exploit discovered by players that allowed them to get a Mana Forge Key approximately every 15 minutes. It was used by many until we were made aware of it, and promptly shut it down. Thanks to recent code added to the game we were able log all players who abused this exploit. As a result of this new logging, we have a record of everyone who abused this exploit. Starting with Darktide today, and the other server to follow in the coming days, we will be banning all players who were found using this exploit for 7 days. Consider this banning the one final warning about exploiting. We will not tolerate players who exploit in the game and any caught after this will be subject to more harsh punishments. We appreciate everyone who has reported exploits to us in the past and those who will continue to do so in the future. | Developer = Frelorn | Title = AC Community Relations }} '''10th Anniversary Teaser Video''' A teaser video of the 10th Anniversary of Asheron's Call has been posted on [http://ac.turbine.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=473:asherons-call-10th-anniversary-teaser&catid=39:articles&Itemid=53 AC's official website].

Second, it was the first major MMO to offer dynamic world content as a primary feature of the game.
