Developer Appreciation Day Event - June 14 - Link
On Monday, June 14, 2010, the last day of the Celebration, the Knights of Fortune Allegiance, located on the Morningthaw Server, will host an Asheron’s Call Developer Appreciation Day event.
All players, from all servers, are cordially invited to attend, or, host their own events simultaneously on their own servers. And, of course, the game’s awesome design team and staff are invited as well.
In support of Afsan ibn Kusain the Barkeep and others who have seen their lively hood fall to ruins following the town’s destruction by the Shadows and Bael'Zharon, the event will be held in Tufa, at the base of the waterfall, at 9:00pm EST (Portal to Tufa will be provided in the Marketplace during the entire event).

Bad Advertisements on Wiki
Over the past few months a couple of readers have had their computers adversely affected by advertisements served up by Wikia (this is a problem Wikia wide and not related to our particular wiki). We are very sorry for readers who have had to spend time and effort cleaning up their systems. While we are glad that very few people have been affected, it has also made it difficult for us to find the specific ads that caused the problem. If you experience any problems with any ad, please report it. You can find directions on how to do so here.
For the record, we're as angry and upset about malware ads as anyone on the Internet. Our sales team has a strict no tolerance policy for selling advertising only to reputable advertisers. Unfortunately, like almost every other site on the Internet today, we also use ad networks like Google, AOL's Ad.com, Tribal Fusion and others. The ad networks often in turn sell our inventory to other ad networks. As a result, occasionally a bad ad gets into the system somewhere and finding it is an incredibly frustrating whack-a-mole problem, because even our partner sometimes doesn't know who sold the ad.
We work with our viewers to try to identify the ads, use firebug to try to identify the offending ad network and then call them to shut it down... and the next day the ad can sometimes re-appear through yet another ad network. But be assured that we are constantly working to find and shut down any of these ads as they appear as we hate them as much as you do.
Thanks,
Gil Penchina, CEO of Wikia Inc.
