Congratulations to our Asheron's Call Video Contest Winners! This Contest was a great success and we received some truly great entries. In addition to the already announced prizes, everyone who participated in the contest will be getting a special in-game item during our December update! So without further delay, here are the winners of the Asheron's Call Video Contest!

Welcome to the Beta Version of the Asheron's Call Timeline! This is a work in progress and we will continue to add new content and refine things over the next couple of months. Enjoy!

On Tuesday November 10 from 7am - 12pm Eastern, all worlds will be down for a patch to address some issues that arose from our 10th Anniversary event. You can find the list of items that are being addressed here.

So, Asheron’s Call has reached its 10th anniversary. It’s incredible to have fans that have been with us through so many years, so many updates, and so many changes of the guard. It’s been an amazing 10 years in Dereth.

The AC team learned a lot in the year since our 100th update in August 2008, and after it was implemented we sat down and took a hard look at what worked and what didn’t. The initial patch was not what we wanted it to be when it launched. Fixing the subsystems took a number of updates, and we learned a lot of new things about our capabilities and the speed at which we can develop content. Although we finally feel that the systems introduced with that patch are close to our initial vision, we still want to continue making some adjustments to the systems and expand on the content areas from that patch.

A short time ago, we asked for questions about Asheron's Call to be sent to us via email, that you the players would want answers to. Based on the response, this seems like something we will be doing more often. So without further delay, here is te first edition of ask the Devs!

Here is one more 10th Anniversary wallpaper! We hope that everyone has enjoyed them!

There are many changes and additions coming to Asheron's Call for our 10th Anniversary. One of these additions is Gearcrafting. In order to give everyone a heads up on how this new skill works, we are giving everyone a sneak peek at the in-game guide. This is a comprehensive rundown of eveything you will need to know about this new skill. Enjoy!

A Comprehensive Guide to Gearcrafting:

In the wake of the Gearknight's appearance in Dereth comes an opportunity for great advancement. The balance of magical means with that of technology can only increase our understanding of the world and offer new solutions we can use to cope with our challenges. This guide intends to describe the practice of Gearcrafting in its state of inception.
The Trinket:

Trinkets are a classification of item that can possess magic but requires no specific form the only common thread is they all possess some level of technology. We Derethians are familiar with a large variety of magical items but none before this technical. A trinket can be worn in a great variety of ways, as a simple broach clipped to your amuli coat, a small gadget stored in the pocket or any other number of possible placements. What we do know that is, to date, you can only activate the magic of a single trinket at a time.
