== Asheron's Call Era == === Frozen Wasteland Island === From [[Announcements - 2000/08 - Taste of Twilight#Stormwaltz Comments on the Aerlinthe Quest|Taste of Twilight: Stormwaltz Comments on the Aerlinthe Quest]]: {{Turbine Developer | Date = July 29, 2000 | Link = None | Text = I'd also like to take a moment to note that the “frozen wasteland” island was not supposed to be open for play for some time yet, and it is only reachable through a bug. It is still in a very early stage of construction, as evidenced by the extreme performance hit in the ice gardens - the degrade art for those beautiful ice upwellings has not been completed, so everyone on the screen is rendering at full detail, no matter how far from it you are. <br><br> There are no plans to open the ice island anytime in the near future, although its construction began at the same time Aerlinthe's was. The landscapes of the new islands were designed by artists Pete “Obsidian Span” McDonald, Sean “Shadow Spire” Turbitt, and Bil “End of Beta Comet” Mauritsen. <br> '''- ChrisL (Stormwaltz}''' | Developer = [[Turbine_Developers#Chris_.22Stormwaltz.22_L.27Etoile|Chris "Stormwaltz" L'Etoile]] }} <gallery widths=150px heights=150px perrow=4> File:Frozen Wasteland Island 01.jpg File:Frozen Wasteland Island 02.jpg File:Frozen Wasteland Island 03.jpg File:Frozen Wasteland Island 04.jpg File:Frozen Wasteland Island 05.jpg File:Frozen Wasteland Island 06.jpg </gallery> === Tumerok War Spear === During [[The Changing of the Ways]] event, a new interaction was added to the [[Exploration Society Letters]] quest. After turning in a stamped letter, players would receive the [[Exploration Society Token]]. The NPCs would direct you to bring this token to Bach Lien, in the Explorer Society Outpost on the road between Rithwic and Dryreach. Unfortunately, no such NPC or outpost existed. Turbine confirmed this was a bug: {{Turbine Developer | Date = None | Link = None | Text = The search for Bach Lien is a bug. We apologize for the inconvenience that is has caused any of you. Perhaps some time in the future the complete iteration of her tale will reach the loremasters of Dereth but for now she will remain a mystery. | Developer = Allan Maki | Title = Community Representative<br />Turbine Entertainment Software }} This was later reiterated in the [[Announcements - 2002/01 - Flesh and Blood#State of the Code|Flesh and Blood State of the Code]]: {{Turbine Developer | Date = January 25, 2002 | Link = http://www.zone.com/asheronscall/news/ASHEnewscodestate1.asp | Question = I have heard some reference to a mysterious Bach Lien. However, I can find no such person anywhere in the game. Does she really exist? | Text = Although she is mentioned as an extension to the Exploration Society Letters quests, the search for Bach Lien is a bug, as she does not appear in the game. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. Perhaps some time in the future the complete iteration of her tale will reach the loremasters of Dereth but for now she remains a mystery. | Developer = | Title = }} This quest may have been the inspiration for the [[Tumerok Banners Quest]] or the [[Aun Tanua's War Taiaha Quest]]. === Fourth Sending of Darkness Live Events === In an interview with Warcry, Stormwaltz mentioned some ideas that were scrapped from the first story arc. From [http://www.warcry.com/news/view/13628-Asherons-Call-4-Years-of-AC-and-Counting-Part-2-L-etoile-Part-2 Asherons Call: 4 Years of AC and Counting, Part 2 - L'etoile, Part 2]: {{Turbine Developer | Date = 01-02-2004 | Link = http://www.warcry.com/news/view/13628-Asherons-Call-4-Years-of-AC-and-Counting-Part-2-L-etoile-Part-2 | Question = Things change in a game like Asheron's Call, change every month infact. What were some things that you wanted to impliment but just didn't have the time,tech or whatever else to get in the game? | Text = So many things I'm sure I can't remember. Everything you do under a deadline undergoes a heavy-handed process of winnowing. You start with a grandiose vision and then cut it down to something that's feasible. A major event that I alluded to before was Isin Dule's contribution to the regional invasions of Black Ferah and Ler Rhan. He was supposed to be the climax, but that entire phase of the event was cut because it was taking too long to test all the generators (this was our first major use of triggered spawns). That worked out for the better of the story in the end, with Dule turning his coat. Another abandoned thread was having Dave Namerow create and level a character named Saresh to build a monarchy that would throw its allegiance to Bael'Zharon upon his release. The fiction was that "Saresh" was the Shadow General Ferah in disguise. This was a too much work to maintain on all servers, and we never had a solid idea of how it could be leveraged into the main storyline. | Developer = [[Turbine_Developers#Chris_.22Stormwaltz.22_L.27Etoile|Chris "Stormwaltz" L'Etoile]] }} === Unreleased Armor === === Unreleased Weapons === {|class="wikitable" !
