| '''Update on Server Issues''' - [http://forums.ac.turbine.com/showthread.php?t=37927 Link]
| | #redirect[[Template:News]] |
| | |
| ''In speaking with the team we felt that an update on what has been happening was more than overdue. We know that this is a very frustrating situation for everyone who plays Asheron’s Call.
| |
| | |
| ''We have been tracking this problem for some time and have identified the subsystem that is likely to be causing this problem. The behavior we are seeing with the servers is consistent with what we would expect if this particular subsystem was failing. So while we have identified the area of the infrastructure where the problem occurs, we don't know what player or hardware behavior patterns are causing it. Worse, the subsystem is one of the oldest and, um, crustiest of the AC infrastructure.
| |
| | |
| ''While we are working on it, the AC infrastructure is complicated and works differently than the more modern systems we have on newer games. We are in the process of developing additional diagnostic tools to analyze the problem. Unfortunately this process is time consuming and as much as we want to get it into place for this weekend, and tonight in particular, it is not possible to develop, test, and deploy a set of new diagnostic tools in that time frame. This is frustrating to us especially because Friday night is generally when the problems happen most frequently.
| |
| | |
| ''In the coming days you will likely see the results of us developing and deploying additional tools to identify and fix this issue. Thanks for being patient.

| '''Plans for the New Year''' - [http://forums.ac.turbine.com/showthread.php?t=37023 Link]
| |
| | |
| ''In another thread from earlier today the question came up about what we have planned for the future, more specifically this year. So after meeting with the team, they are forcing me to give you all a little sneak peek at what the team is busy working on.
| |
| | |
| ''There is a very special milestone upcoming for Asheron's Call and Turbine upcoming this year, as some of you may know. This is something that has not been accomplished by any other game or game company as far as we know. During this year, Asheron's Call will have its 100th content update! This is something we want to celebrate with our players. This is something truly special that need to be marked by a truly special event.
| |
| | |
| ''What we have planned for everyone is still in early development, and as time goes on we will begin discussing this special occasion in much more detail, but for now I will leave you all with something to think about and discuss.
| |
| | |
| ''With the 100th update, one of our goals is to implement a new faction system into Asheron's Call. Now before you ask, we are not at the point yet to share more details, but when that time does come, we will let everyone know. This is just a little teaser to let everyone know we do have goals and we do have plans going forward.

| '''Character Name Change System Coming Soon'''
| |
| | |
| In [http://forums.ac.turbine.com/showthread.php?t=37003 this thread] Frelorn has made it public that there is a character name change system in the works. Some details about the system:
| |
| | |
| ''For those worried about griefers using this to hide, we will have a few step in place to prevent this. First off, there will be some sort of charge for this service, it will not be something that you just do anytime you want. There will be limits on the number of changes that can be made and the frequency of the changes. There will also be background checks made on each individual before we grant that name change. For example, our other two products have this service and when someone tries to purchase a name change, they rep will check the users history up to six months back. If that person has had any disciplinary actions taken against them, they will not be allowed to purchase that name change.
| |
| | |
| ''One of the key factors behind us doing this is two fold. One is alternate revenue. The more money we make for the franchise, the better. That just make sense. The other is we want to be able to offer our players as many conveniences as we can.

| '''Update on the December Event''' - [http://forums.ac.turbine.com/showpost.php?p=378271&postcount=1 Link]
| |
| | |
| ''Due to operational constraints and stability issues with the December Patch, Turbine has made the decision that delaying the December update until January is in everyone’s best interest. We know this will be disappointing for those players who enjoy our monthly content, but after weighing all of our options we feel that this is the right decision given the circumstances.
| |
| | |
| ''In the meantime, our live events staff will be providing more events over the remainder of December and into January. Our goal with these in-game events is not only to have fun with current players, but also let those players who may return to us over the Holidays see what our live events team has been up to!
